Southern Furniture Design

Southern Furniture Design Custom made furniture. Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Established in 2006.

My name is Michael Nation, I am a father, husband, environmental scientist,
outdoorsman, and furniture artisan. After years to selling furniture as a hobby
using new lumber, I decided to turn to a new business model by working with
reclaimed lumber and materials. This inspiration combines two things that I love,
the environment and woodworking to create custom southern furniture. My business

foundation focuses on the reuse of materials to create artistic expressions through interior and exterior furniture pieces.
