Railroad Spike Coat Rack
I’m partial to all things railroad. This simple rustic rack was built for a friend’s entryway with all reclaimed materials.


Rustic Wedding Arch
Back in December 2016 I helped a friend set up a rustic “chapel in the woods” in a stand of aspens up Copper Basin in Prescott for a vow-renewal ceremony of his parents. I built the arch out of weathered barnwood from the Colorado farm and pieces from a sluice box from a local prospecting operation from years gone by. I got latillas from a local sawmill (stripped lodgepole pines) sourced from Idaho, and made the light poles with weighted concrete bases. Mason jar vases and holders were the finishing touch.
If you are interested in renting these elements for future events, or if you’d like something similar created for your event, use the Contact link at the top of the page. I can also create other coordinating elements, such as more light poles, for rental or purchase.
Collette Kitchen
I was brought in by interior designer Shelley Moran to perform some custom renovation work to update a home built in the 90s. Shelley had a vision for the kitchen that involved a major makeover, from common yet transformative moves like painting cabinets, getting new appliances, and replacing countertops, to functional decisions like converting the bookshelf side of an island into a bar. Shelley knew the reputation of Anastasis for quality craftsmanship and problem-solving.
Here, beadboard and a steel footrail complete the transformation.


Another aspect of the kitchen re-do was to create a built-in banquette seating area in an L-configuration for a breakfast nook.


We brought outlets and HVAC forward so they would not be covered by the new banquette.
Finally, I was able to convert all the cabinet doors over from a surface-mount hinge to a hidden, euro-style hinge, and install all new pull hardware. The result is a beautiful, modern farmhouse-style kitchen that used existing elements rather than throw out all the old and bring in new cabinetry.
Ability Jobsite Signs
Local Prescott contractor Ability Remodeling hired Anastasis to design and fabricate large steel and wood signs to display at jobsites of work in progress. This is heavy-duty, high-quality signage that stands out from other cheap plastic contractor signs and is meant to convey the caliber of care Ability puts into their work.
