Building Heirlooms to Last Another 100 Years

Antique Refinishing + Repair
The magnificent centerpiece. The generational heirloom. The one-of-a-kind dining table or living room accent chair. They have their place in your home — but do they add or subtract from the space? Has time left its mark, are the joints loosening, has the sun faded and dulled the delicate finish, or did Mikey decide to carve his initials? We can help with that.

Custom Antique Furniture Modifications
Even the perfect piece sometimes needs a few tweaks to fit your space. Timeless, but too small? Gorgeously hand-carved, but too dark? We understand the texture and soul an antique adds to a room and we can modify your piece without losing any of its appeal. We have made king size beds out of full, created flat-top desks out of rolltops, vanities out of sideboards. Let us modify your current furniture to fit your current needs.

Antique Lighting Restoration
Mood lighting. Hygge. Coziness. Charm. Whatever your term, whatever the space, lighting can make it or break it. Antique lighting with its unique colors, shapes, and details adds more than just light, it adds character. We find and rebuild lamps of all shapes and sizes to spice up and light up your room.

Custom Design + Build
Aesthetics. Balance. Creativity. Let us walk with you through the design process to create a custom piece that fits with your lifestyle and interior decor. We love a good challenge, and we have the skills needed to make an idea come to life. From the first steps of putting a pencil to paper, to choosing a wood species and color, we work with you to create the perfect piece for your home. Oh, and did we mention we like old stuff? This goes for homes as well. Let us work with you to match the era of your surroundings!

Moving? We’ve been there. Excited puppy? We’ve been there, too. Over the years we have developed tried and true methods for repairing and restoring furniture from every decade. Whether it’s simply a loose joint, or headed for the landfill, we have seen our fair share of furniture repairs, and we are the best in the biz. Working with fine furniture and ensuring its timelessness is our specialty. Consider us the orthopedic surgeons of furniture, only with less recovery time, and more jumping for joy.

Upholstery + Caning + Weaving
Time and pressure create diamonds, but they also create wear and tear in chairs. We can’t reverse time, but we can restore a beloved piece to its original beauty. Upholstery, caning, rush, and other types of weaving are centuries old methods, and we love working with design that has stood the test of time. Bring us your weary and worn for a refresh! We will breathe new life into your heirloom furniture, no matter the toll time has taken and ensure it supports seats for years to come.
