Artisan Woodworks

By Stephen Zimpel

Selected Works

Before with older, dark built-ins	After with bright, LED lit, high end farmhouse style!

		Ipe daybed for clients with an extremely discerning eye that didn't like anything offered online. Curtains and cushions were custom made at a later date.
Hollywood Hills studio build for Jamie Durie.	Master bedroom coffered ceiling with custom sound system installed in the ceiling.	A nice potting shed 'retreat' for a Santa Monica couple.
Custom bookcases for a couple with a very extensive collection.	A fun '2nd floor' for my son in our CA home. The built-in spiral stairs of maple sticking out of the reclaimed Douglas Fir support post	A little fun on Ellen's Design Challenge.
Custom built-in fit to their space, with a reclaimed wood wall.	Outdoor bathroom in Ipe (iron wood) and stone to compliment their outdoor shower and pool area.	24' high curved foyer wall clad in 1/4" mdf to create a perfectly smooth surface and detailed with mouldings that I designed and made by hand.
Master bath remodel with clean lines of subway tile, detailed with gray porcelain wall and floor tile. Hot tub also added in place of traditional small tub.	Custom walnut work station designed in collaboration with another designer as a gift for her husband. No expense spared in this build.	Family with nine children and not much space needed a dresser for the 6 girls to share.
Baby room reclaimed accent wall. This wall became the back of the white built-in for the same family, several years later. Double reclaim!	Custom Alder bed designed for a client who couldn't find exactly what he wanted in stores, so we made it.	Family with nine kids needed what we called a 'double triple' bunk bed for their six girls to share. With custom touches to make their spaces special.
Custom bookcases with handmade mouldings	Another view of the 'double triple' bunk beds.	Zen office for a client who lives on the beach in Southern Cali. Fully functional office with all equipment hidden.
Children's closet with more useful built-in dresser	A fun bed project for my son Wyatt..:-)	Finished with the requisite superhero bedspread.
Small Hollywood condo needed more useful closet space.
