MYRA Studio

Myra Studio designed, fabricated, and installed a complete kitchen remodel for me. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Amy worked closely with me on the design process and always had a creative solution to some crazy problem we inevitably encountered, or she could recommend the perfect contractor to help solve the problem. Her design ideas perfect matched my vision and the outcome was so much more beautiful than I could have imagined. Any and Lewis are practical, creative, and accessible: the Myra shop meticulously matched the walnut cabinet veneers across every surface, and I continue to find incredible design solutions they came up with as I use my kitchen. The team was an absolute delight to work with and I could not recommend them more highly. I LOVE my new kitchen!

We found Myra Studio while looking for a custom liquor cabinet for our living room. With a mid-century design and a significant amount of wood already in use in the room, we wanted to find someone to design a unit, build it and install it in a way that seamlessly matched the existing space. We contacted Lewis after seeing examples of his craftsmanship online. He came up with a creative and very functional design that matched the room perfectly. The build quality is fabulous, and the installation looks as though it was an original part of the home. We're thoroughly pleased and highly recommend Myra Studio.

I loved working with Amy and Lewis on my kitchen remodel. Amy is totally on top of everything, and she came in on time and on budget without a glitch. She lined up all the contractors, found me the best deals on appliances and got discounts on materials, and she made sure every detail was handled, even the ones I didn't even see. The custom cherry cabinets that Lewis made are gorgeous and the kitchen glows with warmth and beauty. On top of being super competent and professional, they are both so fun and creative and very fine people!

I ordered a custom walnut dining table from them and it’s amazing! It’s so beautiful in my space. It’s 5’ long standard size and I can easily add one or two leaves to make it up to 7’ long. We talked through my vision and then went back and forth on the design over email They were great to work with!

Myra Studio did an AMAZING job on our recent project. I searched high and low for a company to help bring our vision to life and they exceeded our expectations. Amy and Lewis are the perfect blend of interior design expertise and expert craftsmanship. Above all, Myra Studio was incredibly thorough, responsive and accommodating throughout the scope of my project. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

I can not say enough how happy I am with the work Amy and Lewis did for my loft space! It was an area of the house that was really tricky due to it's size and layout, but Amy came up with an amazing design that really made it a functional room with a fabulous mid-century modern vibe. Lewis's craftsmanship in building a custom cabinet wall is absolutely beautifully. I cannot recommend them enough! They are a great couple to work with and do spectacular work!!!

I have known Amy and Lewis for a long time and was keen to use them on a project. When I bought my new house in Fairfax I retained them to do the following; Make matching walnut veneer mantels for my 3 fireplaces, and also 1 very large walnut mantel to go over my washer dryer nook. Help me design and then build a custom bar/wine fridge counter with storage and floating shelves above. Fill out a nook next to the family room fireplace with walnut veneer shelving Varnish existing bathroom cabinets, install new sliders and hardware, install new handles. And the biggest project; make new cabinet and drawer fronts for my entire kitchen, along with new hinges, sliders and hardware for all doors and drawers. They also varnished the existing cabinet frames as part of the project and installed all new hardware. Amy helped me redesign 2 bathrooms from the studs, did construction drawings for each and did drawings for my 3 fireplaces that were being overhauled/retiled. I found them to be talented, responsive, enthusiastic and professional throughout. I am very happy with the final products and Lewis has been back a few times to do little touch ups with no fuss. The kitchen walnut veneer doors exceeded expectations in the quality and appearance and the plywood edge is fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and have already referred them to a couple of my clients as I am a realtor.

It was great to work with Amy on our bookcase project for our living room. With a few adjustments on the original drawings she gave us, we came up with a design that would work for us. She was patient and helpful while we worked through the options and design process. Fitting the television into one portion of the design and having it work in our living room was crucial to us. We have a swivel arm that the television to mounted on to allow it to be seen from any angle in the room. Amy also took in the molding design on our exhisting fireplace mantel and repeated this design on the top of the bookshelves. It was an excellent idea and touch she suggested. Lewis was very professional also and the installation went smoothly. Our only complaint is the shelves are tight and difficult to reconfigure the height when we wanted to allow for taller books, etc. We would recommend Myra Design to future clients and would hire them again for any future woodworking needs we would have.

The skill, precision and beautiful craftsmanship Myra Millwork did is fantastic!! I used to work in a mill and finishing wood for a couple of years so got quite familiar with how great wood can turn out... Myra was absolutely superb!!! They built out our one-of-a-kind theatre walls & ceiling by hand. Oh my gosh it's beautiful! And they did our living room ceiling exactly per my husband's design and it turned out so great!! Everything is "seamless" and you can't see nails anywhere or holes. Really really really professional job!! Absolutely worth every penny. AND, they were so nice, caring, considerate and fast service throughout. I honestly can't say enough of what a great job they did for our home rebuild. Thank you so much Myra Millwork and we absolutely recommend you and absolutely will choose to work with you again in the future!

After purchasing our home in 2002 I removed all of the knobs on the cabinet figuring that would push us to remodel the extremely out of date kitchen. We had just sold our home that had been recently renovated by us. Well...nope! We lived in a house that was almost impossible for my not small husband to open any drawers and cabinets for 17 years. It was with the vision and handholding of Amy and Lewis at Myra Millwork that we were finally able to make it to the other side. In our "knob-less" kitchen and small house we raised three children and the kitchen always seemed to be the place we congregated. It is definitely the heart of our home. Myra helped us create a space where we could actually all work together, have adequate space and was a happier place to be. I always felt as though they were invested in the outcome. Amy and Lewis understood our challenges, respected our budget and were on the same page when it came to our vision. My favorite part of the kitchen is the open shelving built by Lewis. Our kitchen continues to be the most utilized space in the house. We are grateful for the planning, design and coordination Myra provided and I'm looking forward to hiring Myra again to bring the same level of personal service to create a warm living room so maybe everyone will get out of my kitchen!

Amy and Lewis have contributed immeasurably to the Character of my carefully crafted home. Although the remodel I undertook was substantially complete before their involvement, I quickly realized their potential for advancing my fingerprint on my custom home. Amy started early by linking up a perfect 10 year old (fully dried) chunk of redwood for installation as a mantle for my stone fireplace. (I had been searching for 9 months and she swiftly "rang the bell" linking me up with what turned out to be the perfect addition.) Lewis made the redwood chunk come to life with Amy's clever design of iron bands wrapped around opposite ends of the mantle with bold matching custom tacs of iron, giving the substantial piece the image of solidity and antiquity. Next, Amy started at the master bedroom, which I thought was largely complete before I met her. Wrong. She set out to design a wall unit made of knotty alder to match the dominant theme of "woody bedroom". The original idea was to hide the flat screen on one wall. This she developed into an entire unit that Lewis crafted in three pieces with mobile rolling doors to hide the screen when not in use flanked by shelves on either side, above which is a backlit artistic recess, all situated atop a table that houses eight disappearing drawers, a tie rack and hidden retractable laundry baskets. Fabulous upgrade from what I thought was a finished bedroom. I interact with this multipurpose design daily with great joy.
