Welcome to the Salty Carpentry Showroom! 

Brian Tohill_edited.jpg
I am Brian Tohill, a Colorado native, artist and carpenter. For twenty years I have used my fine arts degree and careers in various trades to build everything from picture frames to the masterpiece kitchens you see here. Like any good Colorado renaissance man, I Do know Jack, but my mastery is found in three-dimensional, surreal wall art, and creating stunning kitchens using IKEA cabinetry.

After installing countless kitchens and bathrooms all around Colorado, using brands from J&K to Leicht, and everything in-between, I've realized it is nearly impossible to beat the quality, versatility and price of IKEA's 3/4 inch SEKTION frames and Blum hardware.  With this system I am able to create bold, bespoke functionality on a modest budget, in fairly quick turn-around time. Many of the in-stock IKEA fronts are high quality, and can make your dream update faster and super affordable. For an even higher standard of beauty and quality, I will source custom fronts and panels from my partnering woodshops to sculpt a truly remarkable space. 

I am passionate about the before and after, there is great satisfaction found in removing the problems and creating the new solutions piece by piece. My wife and I build the designs, and I complete the majority of the work myself. I have an exclusive network of electricians, painters, countertop fabricators, and the best flooring guy in Denver when needed. For full service renovations, I work with you to plan the layout, finishes, appliances, countertop, lighting, etc., I create a line item labor quote, 3D plans, shopping lists, and schedules for work as needed.  I also love to create custom woodwork for shelving or other unique accents.

If your planning and prep is all done and you just need the cabinets installed, I do offer a flat-fee ($250 per frame) cabinetry installation, which includes all scribe fillers, crown, trim, and hardware. Just remember that my first decade cleaning up after other tradesmen is what made me Salty!
