Mitch Ebie is the craftsman and founder of earlmitchellco, and the mastermind behind the creative upcycling of antique lumber into modern, heirloom pieces. Mitch thrives on creativity, with outlets in photography and drawing, graphic design, a love for architecture and precision skills; having grown up in Orrville, Ohio, he absorbed the craft of building furniture from family and local Amish. His

vision for earlmitchellco reflects this background in its functionality, sturdiness and interesting details which make each piece unique in its heritage and repurposing. Living in Nashville, Tennessee while working as an accountant, Mitch searched for a coffee table for his apartment and was unable to find one that suited his preferences and needs, which prompted him to build his own table. On a trip home to Ohio’s Amish country, Mitch pulled rafters from a barn on his family’s farm and crafted his table from this vintage lumber. This ignited the artistry and passion that began the journey of earlmitchellco; Mitch researches and discovers abandoned barns, rural sawmills and other resources which he crafts into one of a kind reclaimed and repurposed furniture – he takes pride in making sure the pieces are of a similar age, weathering, and patina build up on the lumber. Mitch’s vision of earlmitchellco is a rustic take on the ‘mortise-tenon’ style of craftsmanship, channeling authenticity, history and functionality for a modern lifestyle.

Here’s my dad (blue shirt) and uncle Roy, also known as the twins, working on the addition. We turned a tiny window into three big windows. I’m very thankful for their help. My cousin Stephen was also there.

I was able to get these antique bricks a few miles down the road. .ebie found the small vanity and we cut a hole in the top and dropped a sink in.

When we bought this home, that opening was not there. It was just a wall and on the other side was a bathroom in the entry way. We decided to turn that bathroom into a master bathroom.

The original access to the attic was in the pantry, but when we reworked the kitchen and entry way, that access was removed. This one looks much more interesting anyways 😁.

This view was a big reason we wanted this property. 20 minutes from Nashville, and this much land without the clutter of houses or construction. That far section is a flood zone down in the valley so we knew it probably wouldn’t change anytime soon.

Believe it or not, this room I’m standing in is the kitchen! This 18 inch floor board is the widest one in the home. The average is probably 10 inches. These boards are likely over 100 years old, but it’s hard to tell. I do know for certain that a slate roof was nailed to one side of these boards, and they were all covered in square nails.

This property was approximately 33 acres before we bought it. 15 acres was split off for us. Another home sits on 18 acres with three horses, a donkey and a cow named Solo. A fence has not yet been built to keep the animals on their 18 acres so they graze over to our 15 acres every day. We love seeing them on our side!

We came out here on July 10th to check out this amazing property, 20 minutes outside of Nashville. Lisa was pregnant with Josephine and that’s our dog Finnley. It needed lots of work but we couldn’t pass up the land and beautiful view.

For a period of time we ate at this small table between the fireplace and the addition door. Originally, the ceiling over the kitchen was 8 ft high, but we decided to vault the ceiling to match the living room. The beam is where that ceiling was (I put that beam in… with help 😬)

This kitchen has come a long way since first moving in. We thought about keeping the original cabinets because they were hand made, but it proved to be too much trouble as we tried to fit in our own touch to the space.
