Fine Wooden Interiors

Fine Wooden Interiors also produces architectural detailing to compliment our unique furniture. With friends and coworkers Richard Semands, and David Wright, we use our eighty plus years of collective experience to produce furniture grade cabinetry for kitchens, baths, libraries, and dressing rooms. Interior doors and complete trim packages can all be designed and executed in matching materials and with the same attention to detail found in our furniture.

Forest Gate Kitchen


The kitchen features full cherrywood cabinets and raised block paneling. The crown on the 10' cabinets is reinforced with a slightly larger crown of the same profile at the 12' ceiling. Custom paneled pocket doors to match walls provide access to pantry. A cherrywood breakfast table and chairs complete the adjacent breakfast room.

Forest Gate Dining Room

Located to the left of the main entry, the dining room features an 8' diameter Arthur table in cherry with twelve available chairs. Three illuminated vitrines containing a collection of blown glass vessels fit within an arched recess. The entry visible in the background reveals vaulted portals to the great room, dining room, and fully paneled stairwell.

Libraries and Library Furniture


A library can and should be so much more than just a place to store books. It can be both a quiet refuge and a place where the activity of learning is encouraged. The Forest Gate Library shown above started out with the need to store precious books and maps. It is part of the master suite but is fully soundproofed and raised one step to create a sense of peaceful separation. The full height bookcases became an extension of the raised block paneling and provided visible and concealed storage for atlas' as well as concealed drawers for documentation of provenance. The illuminated globe provides a reference for locating ancient lands and the Atlas stand gives proper support to heavy volumes and presents them at a comfortable height for viewing while standing. Small details like a hidden drawer for a magnifying glass and archival materials help to personalize the room and it's contents. Other pieces in the suite included a map table and a 24 drawer archival flat file for map storage.
