We make custom furniture using reclaimed barn wood, industrial antiques, and architectural salvage. We also design commercial, residential and event spaces with re-purposed materials. Our work can be seen on HOUZZ and through our website at classypickers.com

After the market crash of 2008 I took time away from my business of more than 19 years on the production side of corporate event, and design. After almost two decades of creating new strategies for corporations in event design and how best to develop the ideal vehicle for their brand message I found myself needing a new direction of my own expression. My life was being "reclaimed".

Old barns remind me of simpler times and evoke peaceful memories of childhood on my grandfathers farm. Making something purposeful after it seemingly is no longer valued spoke to me emotionally. Knowing a barns history, its story through the test of time, and how its character was formed over a century or more makes it worthy to be shared, and experienced.

I am humbled by the longevity of the materials we reclaim to create new life and memories for our clients. The hunt for the perfectly imperfect barn or architectural find has given me new direction in business. I am blessed to make my living doing what I am passionate about in design and art. I brought to my own business table gifted craftsman with more than 40 years experience making heirloom tables and furniture using yesteryear techniques for generations enjoyment to come.
