Steel Belt Dresser

Tim Cahill, founder of inDistressed, a custom hand built furniture company, enjoyed a
successful career as a personal trainer - dedicated to working with his clients, helping
them reach their peak physical potential. But one day his fiancée wanted a desk, really
a small home office. And Tim said “Sure, why not?” So he built her a complete office
suite of furniture. And she loved it, her friends loved it, her clients loved it and Tim found
he loved building furniture!

And so it began. A new passion developed in Tim, a passion to work with wood, to build
with his hands. He knew he wanted to conceive, design and build unique custom
pieces of furniture. He wanted to use different types of wood - simply stained or highly
distressed. He found he loved the interplay between wood and various metals - shiny
and crisp or rusted and scarred. He found a talent, long hidden but ready to emerge.

Tim continued to refine his designs. He took classes, learning more about the
characteristics of the woods he uses and the elements of the metals and glass he
incorporates in his design. He consulted with fellow woodworkers and furniture builders
and interviewed interior designers. He learned about the trends in the furniture market
place, not to follow the crowd but to be able to better serve his clients with his design
style

Timʼs passion and inDistressedʼs goal is to build customizable furniture in a modern style, integrating rustic or distressed elements to enhance the design. Each piece unique and hand built to the highest standards of design and workmanship. Whether it is a piece
from his established product lines or a unique design developed in collaboration with a
client it will be a standout in your home.
