Inspired by architecture and furnishings from the late 19th through the mid–20th century, we design and craft furniture, cabinetry, and other built-ins with a strong period feel. We pride ourselves on taking each job from start to finish — beginning with close discussion of aesthetic and practical considerations through drawing, production, and painstaking installation.

Every job we undertake is highly customized in design and craftsmanship. We specialize in paying such close attention to the character of our clients’ homes that our work is often mistaken for part of their houses’ original fabric.

As craftspersons we have expertise in a wide variety of techniques, including hand-cut dovetails, hand turning of cabinet pulls, carving, rubbed finishes, and finely scribed installations.

Our work has been published in Fine Woodworking, Old-House Interiors, American Bungalow, Arts and Crafts Homes, Style: 1900, Victorian Homes, and Indianapolis at Home magazines.
