Teak Wood Butcher Block Countertop Newton MA

Grothouse crafted a custom Teak Butcher Block Countertop with under mount sink for a large kitchen island. Donna Venegas of Venegas and Company designed the incredible kitchen space. In addition, a custom table was made and stained to match the homeowners treasured heirloom chairs. Grothouse was highlighted on two separate episodes as outlined below.
