Custom Manhattan Decorative Moldings  

Central Park West borders the entire, 2 ½-mile western edge of Central Park, and people live here in large part because of this 843-acre park. From streams and woods to open green spaces and myriad paths, the park beckons urban dwellers who crave a major slice of nature in the neighborhood. The architecture is stunning as well, and this client wanted some 1920-30’s flair in the apartment.

Adding box molding, a chair rail and picture molding on an otherwise blank, boring vertical wall transforms it into an exceptionally attractive visual component to the overall decor. All the molding came from Dyke’s Lumber Company, founded in 1909 and continuing its tradition of quality and integrity to this day. We measure twice and cut once to get each piece accurate for installation. There is not only a retro feel, but also an elegant charm with texture and final coats of Linen White, a creamy off-white star of Benjamin Moore’s neutral shades. The project successfully radiates the grace and grandeur found in glorious rooms a century ago.
