We wanted something to replace our ugly store bought deck table. The frame and bench were made from old-growth reclaimed lumber. The top is an inlayed mosaic of broken plates and Mexican tile. Silverware insets complete the table setting. It is currently covered with 1" foam insulation and a cover to protect it from a harsh Chicago winter.

About Me
Twenty-five years ago we instantly fell in love with a 100-year-old farmhouse. We reveled in its unique architecture, old world craftsmanship and a chance to preserve history. All through the years since then it became the ultimate outlet to perfect both my artistic and carpentry skills.
About My Business
My disdain for mass-produced furnishings lead me to the creation of many unique custom-made pieces. By combining a passion for historical materials with modern design, I was able to preserve a bit of the past into the future. Old barn wood was transformed into tables, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets and anything else I could apply my artistry to. Broken Mexican tile was fashioned into beautiful mosaic inlays. Collected stones, shells and driftwood were melded with old growth wood to recreate natural beauty.

For Rustic Floating ShelvesRon was great and I love my shelves. He was very responsive and answered all questions throughout the process. I was unhappy with the color I picked; and, Ron sent me the material needed to alter them at home myself free of charge. I would provide a picture but I have not hung them yet. It is on my list to do this weekend. If you want something unique and

For Rustic Floating ShelvesRon was wonderful to work with. He was engaged and communicative every step of the way. There were a couple of things that caused the work to take a bit longer, but he was on top of checking in with me and it was absolutely worth the wait. I am so happy with how the shelves turned out and it really brought my vision for the space to life. He took a lot of time packing up the shelves so that they would be safe during shipping and even sent the instructions along with the mounts, screws and drill bits needed for installation. Ron's care and expertise is clearly visible in the quality of his craftsmanship.

For Reclaimed Lumber Floating ShelvesThe shelf we received was exactly what we ordered and looks fantastic. It came a little late, but Ron was super great about communicating and letting us know in advance - and honestly our deadline was pretty flexible anyhow. The instructions on installation and included hardware was clear and the workmanship was incredibly solid. we would highly recommend Ron's work for a custom project.
