A built-in that was made to feel like it’s always belonged here.

This custom library was designed to add character, storage, and a little drama to the room—all without sacrificing function. Deep black cabinetry creates the perfect backdrop for a collected mix of books, family pieces, and favorite finds, while warm brass hardware and picture lights bring in just enough contrast.

We love a space that feels polished without feeling overly styled. Custom cabinetry should work hard, but it should also tell a story.

Designed + built by Wakefield Designs.

Progress worth sharing. ✨

When our clients purchased this custom built from the early 2000s, they loved the space—but now it was time for the basement entertaining area to better fit the way they live today.

Our goal was to preserve the warmth and character of the original bar while reimagining it to accommodate modern appliances, custom cabinetry, and a more functional layout for entertaining.

Here’s what’s been completed so far:
✔️ Custom cabinetry & built-ins
✔️ New appliance integration
✔️ Custom stained oak bar detailing
✔️ New flooring throughout

Still to come:
• Color-drenched walls to seamlessly blend with the cabinetry
• New countertops
• New sink & faucet
• Final styling and finishing touches

We can’t wait to share the finished reveal. Sometimes the transformation is just as exciting as the destination.

Swipe to see where we started and where we are today.

What would be the first thing you’d update in your own basement?

Big changes for me and Hudson coming. After coaching at CJ for the last 10 season we had a chance to take the next step in his development as a player and mine as a coach. If you have a son in the Joplin area come out and see what the hype is about.
