Charles R. Caswell Design Studio

Charles has incredible design taste and an even better innate sense of knowing how to build furniture that will work within the space that it belongs. We have had Charles make a couple of items for us, one a modern wine cabinet made out of oak, the quality and craftsmanship of this piece of furniture is far greater than the rest of the cabinets in our house. The second piece of furniture is an entry way bench for a cabin in the woods. We gave Charles a piece of "live" edge pine and some pine branches to make the legs with, having no real idea what we were going to get. What we got was a bench that's almost too nice to use, friends, family and guest all make comments about how beautiful the piece is.

Have you ever seen cabinetry that looks like fine furniture? I hadn’t until I saw the kitchen cabinets Charles Caswell had built for his home. So, when it came time to remodel our kitchen, my husband and I knew we wanted Charles to be involved. Working with us, our architect, and our contractor, Charles built and installed cabinets, bookcases, wall panels, and a hand rail that created the exact look and feel of the mid-century modern home we had always wanted. Charles is an artisan – he purchased logs from which he created his own fine wood laminates of figured birch, red birch, and maple. He is a consummate professional, able to work in concert with other members of the remodel team. And, he is a perfectionist – the grain of all the doors, drawers, panels, etc. flows without visual interruption from one surface to another. We couldn’t be more pleased – and we would hire Charles again.

Charles designed, built and installed beautiful bannisters for the stairway leading up to the front door of our home. His design work surpassed our expectations! Charles was highly professional, attentive to detail and ensured completion of the job in a timely fashion. He was a pleasure to work with - I highly recommend Charles.

Charles assisted me invaluably in designing, laying out, building and installing a bookcase/TV/art cabinet unit, wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling. His work was instrumental in the successful completion and customer satisfaction of the project.
