. My specialty is well built functional furniture. I like making pieces that people use every day, like entertainment centers, dressers, night stands, coffee tables, hutches, computer centers, etc...I don't usually make pieces strictly for Art's sake, rather I make furniture that people use.

.

. Yes. I love making children's furniture. This is one of the reasons I decided to start my business. When shopping for my children's furniture, I found there was not much out there that was clean, yet simple, that was made to last. So, I began making my daughters their own bedroom suites.

.

. Yes. Actually, if you are considering having more than one piece made to match one another, it is a good idea to have them made around the same time. The reason for this is that light and time can alter the finish on furniture. Sunlight alters some woods coloring more than others and the UV light in natural sunlight has a greater affect on some finishes. This is expected and is completely normal in many natural (non-painted) finishes. As for painted furniture, simple wear and tear, dust and dirt can alter the color of a piece of furniture.

.

. Yes/No Again, everyone is not great at everything and everyone does not do things the same way. Sometimes it is worth repairing furniture and sometimes it simply is not cost effective. I will gladly talk to you about a piece of furniture that needs repair and will tell you if it is something I think I can be repaired or if you should contact someone else. I may be able to help you find someone that does the repairs needed.

.

. Yes/No I actually encourage people that are considering having a custom piece of furniture made to keep pictures of things they like and what it is they like about that piece. There are many sources for existing images (Internet, catalogs, etc…) and many times that is where inspiration begins. Some details are not reproducible but for the most part this is not an issue.

.

. Yes I would be glad to sit down with you and design something from scratch. I have many sources for intricate detail moldings, carvings, specialty hardware, finials, posts, etc. If many meetings are necessary for scratch designs, a small design fee may be necessary.

.

. If you want a well built piece of furniture that you will be able to pass down to your children, then hire me. If you want a one of a kind piece of furniture that no one in your neighborhood already has, hire me. If you want to buy a piece of furniture that you won't have to replace in a year because it fell apart, hire me. If you want to hire someone that you can trust in your home and on your property, hire me.

.

. Yes I am insured.

.

. The 50% deposit required is for purchasing materials and supplies required to build that particular piece of furniture, therefore it is non-refundable. However, if you need to cancel the original order, please call and I will work with you, depending on where I am in the process.

.

. Yes If you have a particular color that you want matched and you already have the stain/paint color, I can work with that. However, I will want to purchase that particular paint/stain new from the store where it originally came from, as these material deteriorate over time and if not properly stored they can actually fail, change color and even develop mold.

.

. Yes I will gladly make a piece of furniture and leave it unfinished, if requested to do so.
