Testimonials

"Adam delivered the dresser this afternoon and it is beautiful!  Angela loves it and keeps going upstairs to look at it.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Adam Karr, of Springhouse Woodshop, Benton, did the spacious, detail-oriented kitchen in Brian and Ellen Slovinski’s  new-old dwelling. The kitchen is the heart of this home, as well as the ultimate showpiece.

The Slovinskis are tall, so they made the countertops 38 inches high, rather than the standard 36 inches. However a custom-made Hoosier, complete with built-in flour sifter, has a countertop at 36 inches with baking in mind, for better leverage when kneading dough, for instance.

Other through-out details include a paper towel holder built underneath an island sink, drawers for pots and pans directly underneath the stovetop, a corner drawer that cleverly pulls straight out at an angle and a pantry door with a chalk board surface, convenient to keep lists of things needed.

The couple credits Karr with a built-in nook in the entryway that showcases a bench, hooks for coats, an area under the bench for shoes, and side shelves to hold keys, mail, and gloves. He also built an exquisite linen closet on the second floor.

“The nice thing about custom-made furniture is that it is sold direct, so it eliminates the furniture store between the maker and the consumer and the huge mark-up. For quality, affordable, U.S.-made products, you can go with the craftsman”, Brian said. Ellen adds that she saw a bedroom set she liked in a furniture store but wanted it a little different. She showed Karr a picture of the furniture and asked if he could make it as she wanted; he said yes and came back with a price comparable to the piece she had found in the furniture store.   -  from the Times Leader, February 2, 2008, article by Dawn Zera
