Rustic Outdoor Bench
This rustic outdoor bench was custom-made to fit on a very narrow high-rise balcony in downtown Chicago. The top was made from 2x6" reclaimed wood, gapped to allow for drainage. Base legs are pressure treated supports framed with rustic planks. Coated with a urethane finished it is sure to weather many harsh Chicago winters.

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 Old wood shelves installed in a nook5.0Ron created a small barn door style window cover for a skylight in my attic bedroom. It is a very tricky spot for installation and Ron took the time to measure and get it just right. I love the result and get so many compliments on it!
See my other review for shelves in a nook. Highly recommend Ron! He is a true artisan and professional.

For Rustic Floating Shelves5.0We were hesitant to get shelves made from someone out of state. It seemed odd that we wouldn't find someone local but this worked out perfectly. Without having to run around town all weekend finding reclaimed wood for a shelf pantry project, I found Ron here and couldn't be happier. He was prompt in communication, knew exactly what would work, and delivered as promised. He was way easier to work with than some local contractors and we haven even met in person! I totally loved the floating shelves he made us for our little pantry. They had a rusticity to our 2003 townhome. I would love it if Ron could work on my whole house!

For Rustic Floating Shelves4.7Ron 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 Reclaimed Lumber Floating Shelves5.0Couldn't be happier with the finished product. Exactly what we had been looking for, for the past few years. Great communication, easy installation, and top notch quality. If these shelves sell with our house, we'll order more from him for our next house. I've got pictures, but don't see the option to upload them here. I'll post pictures on Instagram, search for username tango_down15 and I'll accept your request so you can see the pictures.
