PREORDERS OPEN - Batch No. 2 for our Handmade Vintage-Inspired Skinny Bench (4ft) is officially open 🤩

We designed this bench to work in those small narrow spaces that “just need something” — behind the sofa, at the foot of the bed, under a window, in the entryway, along the dining wall, at the end of the hallway — those spaces that deserve something both beautiful and functional.

Each bench is built by hand and given a rustic vintage look that makes each one unique. We put thought and detail into each and every one. Therefore our builds are limited and we have to limit the batch to keep the quality where we want it.

Preorders are open now through Sunday night (5/31).

Details:
- Solid wood construction
- Handmade, antique/vintage-inspired finish
- Estimated completion: 3-4 weeks
- Local pick up/delivery available (additional $)
- Preorder price: $125
- Regular made to order price later will be $155

If you’ve been waiting for the next batch, this is the one! We will not be taking preorders for this specific design again until the fall.

Thank you all so much for supporting small-batch made furniture and allowing us to keep building pieces this way.

To preorder, message us “BENCH” and we’ll get you the details.

PREORDERS CLOSED — Handmade Vintage-Inspired Skinny Bench (4ft)

After all the interest from our giveaway, we’re opening a small batch of these handcrafted benches.

Each one is built by hand from solid wood and carefully finished to capture the look and character of a true antique—subtle wear, aged details, and a timeless design that fits just about anywhere.

No two will be exactly the same.

We’re only taking 6 preorder spots for this first run.

Details:
• Solid wood construction
• Handmade, antique/vintage-inspired finish
• Estimated completion: 3 weeks
• Local pickup / delivery available (additional $)
• First batch preorder price: $100 (limited to 6 spots)

We will be closing this batch on Tuesday 4/21, or sooner if all 6 spots are filled. This way we can focus on building each piece with the attention it deserves.

If you’ve been following along, missed the benches at our last event, or entered the giveaway, this is your chance to secure one.

To claim a spot:
Message me “BENCH” and I’ll get you the details.

Throwback to an old photo from our old workshop because.....we're moving workshops again and I don't have any photos of the current chaos! We've been at this location for two+ years now and it feels like it's time to make a shift. We are downsizing on space but maximizing on capacity and creativity! We can't wait to share the new workshop with you once we get settled. The move is only slowing us down slightly...we still have lots of projects coming soon!

Sneak peek of something we are bringing to March 27-29 🤩

This page has been quiet for a while.

Not because we stopped loving what we do…
But because something started shifting.

Furniture flipping and refinishing has taught us so much over the years — about design, craftsmanship, patience, and seeing potential where others don’t.

But over the last year, we kept feeling pulled toward something more.

Instead of restoring someone else’s pieces…
We wanted to focus more on designing and building our own. Something we have dabbled in for the last several years but never been able to give our full attention.

Custom solid wood builds, heirloom quality craftsmanship, original vintage inspired designs that we have had sitting in our sketchbooks for years. We're ready to bring it all to life.

So this next chapter looks different.

You're going to see more of:
Original vintage-inspired designs by us (released in small batches)
Custom built furniture
Custom and personalized wood signs

And you'll still see:
Vintage Furniture (we still love a quality piece & rustic restorations)
Outdoor Planters (yes, the cows will be back this year)
And vintage & antique home goods we source & share

It feels scary and exciting all at once — but it feels right.

If you’ve been here for the refinishing days… thank you.
If you’re new here… we're so glad you’re here for this next chapter.
