I'm a designer and artist.
I do this, that and the other.
Sometimes all three.
Not at the same time though.
Noreen,
FineCrafted covers a variety of interests for me... a lot of which you'll see scattered through the pages here: photography, kitchen and bath design and rehabbing cool, vintage items that are then for sale at my retail co-op at the Street of Shops in Lewisburg, PA.
If you're contemplating a remodeling or new building project and are interested in contracting my design services, please contact me at custom.cabinetree@ yahoo.com. I would love to help!
I have to credit my mother
for sparking my interest
in design and home decorating.
Many of my toys
encouraged my creativity by
allowing me to mold the world
to the way I wanted it to be:
constructing with Lego Logs,
decorating Barbie's townhouse,
graphing home floor plans.
After school,
I was lucky enough
to experience a variety of
manufacturing and design jobs
that have provided me with
a thorough understanding
of the myriad details
necessary to create
functional, comfortable spaces.
After ten years in the housing industry
and seven years
designing custom cabinetry,
I now work independently
with select clients
to build the space of their dreams.
Using a client's dream list,
I incorporate all their wants and needs
with their actual physical space.
With computer-generated pictures
to illustrate my ideas,
that space comes to life!
The client is able to view the space
from all angles before committing
to pricey space alterations
or custom cabinetry.
Through partnerships with
local cabinetry shops
and decorating houses,
I'm able to see the project
through to its completion,
providing peace of mind for my client
and a gorgeous living space for
them and their family
for many years to come.
Please e-mail me at custom.cabinetree@yahoo.com
to begin to build your dream space!

“Dear Noreen:
This is a big THANK YOU. I just moved into my new home
…and the kitchen is a BIG HIT.
I admit to some nervousness during the kitchen planning process
because all the decisions were made long distance…
(but) my concerns proved unfounded.
I am absolutely delighted with my cabinets and your work.
I’d recommend you anytime.”

Bougainvillea (via Nori the Design Diva)
There’s one of these in the window of the paint store. I never had a green thumb until I started watering the plants there… but it probably has a lot to do with the huge windows too.
After the long winter, it’s nice to see some colors of Spring.

Love the colors!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!

Painted and Glazed Kitchen with Cherry Island (via Nori (FineCrafted))
I had a lot of fun working with the clients to create this wonderful family space in their gorgeous Connecticut home. The beveled glass doors in the wall cabinets on the far right are one of my favorite touches. The hood is custom-designed with details picked by the client, then sized to fit this space. The cabinetry is built with beaded face-frames and inset doors and drawer fronts. The countertops are granite.
Our Finished Living Room (via Nori the Design Diva)
A friend of mine walked into the room and asked me, “So…looks like five colors and wallpaper, right?”. I looked around and agreed, but admitted that it didn’t start out that way. I started out with wallpaper and two colors - the ceiling and the trim. After painting that, I wanted more color on the doors, so I added a couple accent colors. Then the wainscot needed to be darker to balance the rest of the color. Now, I think it’s perfect. :)
Winter Skies (via Nori)
Dragged myself from hibernation today to go snowmobile riding with my hubby. It was lovely in the valley.

It’s pretty, but I’m ready for Spring.
One of my Favorites (via FineCrafted (Nori))…that I designed for a home in Connecticut. Dual island, dual farm sinks, dual refrigerators - what a space!
