Above Parr Designs

I enjoy the oppurtunity to design and build items of high quality and function, whether it be a custom jewlery box, entertainment center or built-in. If you've been frustrated at the lack of options or sizes in ready made items, or just the simple lack of quality in carelessly made factory pieces I can help. The sublte differences in grain matching, lumber selection and a flawless finish means an heirloom quality piece that will provide years of enjoyment, long after the bittersweet taste of settling for inferior quality. Feel free to contact me for any inquiry or idea you may have to create something uniquely beautiful.

Corner Bookcase

Designed and built for the Pressell's study. This piece was stained to match an existing piece furniture sharing the same room.

Corner Display Shelf

This piece was also designed for the Pressell family, there were actually two of these made for opposing corners of their dining room, designed to display fine collectibles.

Entertainment Center

Built for the Murray's, this piece in oak featured a flip up and retracting top door, pocket main doors with a pull-out swivel TV shelf and wide opening bottom doors to allow a pull out shelf for videos,etc.

This piece was a commission from Kathy C. who gave it to her daughter as a special gift. It is constructed from cherry with mahogany corner splines, the handle is specially designed with brass pins to hold the recipe card upright for viewing when cooking. The divider bar slides up and back to aid in organizing recipe cards, it is finished with several coats of laquer, hand rubbed to a satin sheen. Brusso hinges were used for that special touch.

Built for a client to fit in a small wall space.

The wood is poplar with a white lacquer coat and cathedral doors.

This piece was built for my daughter as a Christmas present. The wood is poplar with a white lacquered top coat, the inside wood is cherry with brass hooks and wenge pegs for ring holders.
