I do this, that and the other.

Sometimes all three.

Not at the same time though.

FineCrafted Design &amp; Decor on Facebook 



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!  
To defeat those dreaded spammers, 
please type “FineCrafted - Project”
 in the subject line.

A plane came down yesterday afternoon in Lock Haven, short of the airport and just a few blocks from where I now work. From what I’ve read, it sheared a power pole, hit three vehicles, struck and destroyed the porch of the brick house on the right, then burst into flames. All three people aboard were killed.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.finecrafted.com/post/725184217</link><guid>http://www.finecrafted.com/post/725184217</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jun 2010 08:06:49 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Side Porch in Bloom (by Nori)</title><description>&lt;img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3r6ab7PBJ1qz4t7oo1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/noris-pics/4668655379/" target="_blank"&gt;Side Porch in Bloom&lt;/a&gt; (by &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/noris-pics" target="_blank"&gt;Nori&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.finecrafted.com/post/680379504</link><guid>http://www.finecrafted.com/post/680379504</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jun 2010 11:13:23 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>From Our Front Porch (by Nori)</title><description>&lt;img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3huvevYK91qz4t7oo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/noris-pics/4669280378/" target="_blank"&gt;From Our Front Porch&lt;/a&gt; (by &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/noris-pics" target="_blank"&gt;Nori&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.finecrafted.com/post/663462755</link><guid>http://www.finecrafted.com/post/663462755</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:28:26 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Remembering the Fallen… (by Nori)

&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;
