MARTIN A. SCHELLEN
Having a trusted finish carpenter was essential for the renovation. Working with furniture designs Christine drew up, skilled artisan Martin was able to take her plans off the paper and custom build them into reality. A master craftsman with attention to detail, Martin took on numerous projects during the renovation, including building the entertainment centre and custom furniture pieces and overhauling her existing sofa.
► Completely tucked out of sight is a hidden compartment within the built-in cabinets. A pull-down door reveals
a dedicated space for all Christine’s art supplies.
◄ The dining table was another of the custom pieces Martin built, allowing Christine to design and determine the appropriately sized table to perfectly fit her small space.
The artwork in the entertainment cabinet is actually the Samsung Frame TV. The unit can display artwork to the
owner’s taste when not being used as a television.
► Christine’s original sofa was built by Martin and received a fully customized makeover, he took the sofa completely apart, right down to the springs and frame. It was then rebuilt to be longer and deeper. Once it was rebuilt, a new custom slipcover and pillows were custom sewn to complete the overhaul.
