Tools of the Trade || Port Alberni Custom Cabinetry

When it comes to what women want in design features for their home, it's probably safe to say that kitchens and bathrooms are at the top of the list.  I recently visited the shop at HB Creative Solutions, and from a woman’s (and photographer’s) perspective, I was impressed!  I’m certainly not an expert when it comes to sophisticated shop tools, but I was very impressed with the shop, which was incredibly organized and tidy!  The array of equipment and tools made for interesting subject matter to photograph, as I looked for unique angles and reflections to get some photos of what some might call ordinary, every-day shop items and tools.  I was also quite fascinated to learn just how Ben Emslie, at HB Creative Solutions, approaches his custom design work and projects.  From start to finish it is clear that he takes great pride in his work.  Ben’s attention to detail and quality craftsmanship are evident throughout his workshop, his custom designs and the construction of his projects.  He uses state-of-the-art equipment and a sophisticated computer program which helps him with the design process.  He can create a two-dimensional kitchen design on his computer, and then easily convert it to a three dimensional design.  For anyone who can’t visualize what their kitchen or bathroom construction or renovation might look like, this is a great feature!  Ben showed me a recent kitchen renovation floor plan, and with a click of a key, changed it to a beautiful 3-D plan!   I am anxious to take the next step, to photograph the kitchen renovation itself when it is completed.  For anyone who is looking to renovate their kitchen or bathroom, or have a custom-designed construction project on their wish list, it is definitely worth a visit with Ben at HB Creative Solutions.  Let him show you what he can do!  Here are a few shop pictures to share with you.
