A Chicago-based client wanted a very special cabinet for his Gold Coast condo overlooking Lake Michigan.  This spectacular piece showcases carefully-bookmatched horizontal walnut crotch.  Inside is storage for 750 vinyl LP records, audio components, and wine glasses.  Custom needs demand custom furniture, and this cabinet is certainly one-of-a-kind.

Tiffany and Joe's growing family demanded a new residence, and two years of introspection and careful design resulted in a spectacular custom home.  Tiffany worked with Dave from Curl and Burl for six months curating every detail for eight rooms of custom casework.  Every aspect was modeled in software - Integrated appliances, a highly-customized pantry, a media room, closets - sparing no detail, and resulting in a very special and comfortable place to live.

Louis Kamper designed this incredible house in the historic Indian Village neighborhood of Detroit back in the turn of the century.  The owner wished to convert the third floor - formerly a ballroom - to a fantastic office/lounge, true to the original house design.  Curl and Burl was brought in and instructed to "make believe that Kamper is looking over your shoulder."  Hundreds of hours later, we see the results, with custom mouldings and carved keystones designed to match the limestone elements in the house facade. 

A space such as this requires fully custom work - it's precisely this type of challenge we live for.  Behind these book matched curly walnut panels are integrated refrigerators and pantry space. 

Andy and Irene found a hidden gem in Grosse Pointe.  Although the majority of their historic 1938 home was beautiful and functional, the kitchen did not live up to the high standards. Curl & Burl created a solid cherry custom kitchen that looks original to the house, while still providing modern functional design. Here, a highly intricate corner combines a display area with a pantry and integrated base refrigerator.

Jennifer and Alberto appreciate hand-made pieces, and demanded custom work for their beautiful home.  Dave worked with them for months on the design, dialing in every detail, and highlighting the combination of these two beautiful materials.  With a hand-applied hardwax oil, the results are certainly stunning, and timeless.

This 1920s tudor has original, intricate plaster and wonderful leaded glass windows.  When it came time to do the kitchen, only the best would do.  We designed and created this stunning kitchen from rough sawn local walnut.  Every board was carefully selected to grain and color match, and highlight the beauty in the wood.

A room should be beautiful with nothing in it.  Doors and casework should be constructed to the same standards as high-quality furniture. At Curl and Burl, we love making custom doors.  Behind this door is a pantry room.

This rustic home has refined casework, including this solid white oak cabinet carefully built to fit a nook in the logs.  An artist from Mexico provided the painting of indigenous characters.

Technology gives us the power to create truly custom pieces - in this case, a continuous-grain solid walnut backsplash for a laundry room.  For this project, we used our industrial CNC, and careful design, to cut and match each part.  The homeowners love it!

This Pleasant Ridge tudor had a dated fireplace.  Curl and Burl designed and created this 18' painted mantle and cabinet run, complete with lighting and hand made stained glass panels.  Fits like a glove!

Months of design, planning and attention to detail in the shop yields this incredible result for an Evanston, IL kitchen,  A spectacular, one-of-a-kind book matched walnut burl -- destined for use in luxury car dashboards -- sets this kitchen above the rest. 

Even a guest bathroom deserves a beautiful piece of furniture!  This traditional bow-front vanity will certainly last the test of time... and style.

A Curl & Burl signature.

Most "custom closets" are composites of mass produced parts of inferior materials.  Compare that to this closet, created from incredible solid and pomelle sapele veneer, all designed and built by Dave at Curl and Burl.  The client certainly has happy clothes!

Behind this secret door lies a comfortable media room, hidden from view.  The bookcase opens with the slightest push, yet is fully functional, loaded with heavy books.  We designed and manufactured a custom hinge system, and internal steel frame to support the heavy load.
