Loving these shared photos of an island countertop we built in the summer! Nice to see our customer installed in perfectly. The custom stained Oak definitely fits in well with kitchen and living room space! 👌🏾⚓️ . . . 📸 via customer. #woodanchor #woodanchorcountertops #islandcountertop #solidwoodtop #kitcheninspo #kitchendesign #solidoak (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIq0P4BgXyo/?igshid=wywmtrwpx7o2

Flashback Friday via @dueck.builders where we were brought on to build this beautiful designed staircase! Cheers Dueck Builders on the amazing custom design! ♥️⚓️ Posted @withregram • @dueck.builders Happy Friday! Here's a brief flashback to a project we did in Wildwood area. This timber frame home was a completely custom design at every step and the intricate wood framing details paid off! We've gotten the chance to work with this customer with other renovations and additions over the year and it's always fun finding custom solutions together! #woodanchor #woodanchorstairs #interiorinspo #stairdesign #stairporn #manitobahomebuilders #designbuild #timberstairs (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGs0XoPggpi/?igshid=dlpkuxjqwfxy

We’re really Loving how how our customers new kitchen reno turned out! It’s always extra special when our customers provide their own material (which is typically of sentimental value) for their projects. We milled, dried and processed their salvaged Hemlock timbers that is now their beautiful L shaped island countertop eating area! Enjoy guys! ♥️⚓️ 📸: via customers. . . . #woodanchor #woodanchorcountertops #solidwoodcountertop #kitcheninspo #interiordesign #buildlocal #islandcountertop #hemlock (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlDa09gnP1/?igshid=19sep1jgg34ta
