The Custom Build Experience
Getting furniture custom built just for you can be intimidating. You’ve got more options than you’re used to when walking into your local furniture store, and that can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be! I try to break it down into 3 steps, and luckily for you the 3rd one is all my responsibility.
Step 1:
Whatever your inspiration, Share it!
Anything from a 75 image Pinterest board to a scribble on a napkin.
It all begins with you and your idea. Maybe you you saw something in a shop that sparked your interest, or have an existing piece that you just can’t find a match for, even just the a general idea for a space in your home that needs something special to fill it. Tell me about it! Pintrest boards, Magazine Clippings, even scribbles on a napkin will all help me make sure you get exactly what you’re after.
Step 2:
Lets get specific!
A few simple dimensions and choices of wood are all it takes to get started. And if you prefer I can do this for you.
Once we know what we’re trying to build it’s time to get down a few of the details. If you already know what size you’re looking for and the type of wood then great! If not that’s OK, I’m here to walk you through it. A few key measurements and photos of your space are usually all I need to help you decide. But if you prefer I’m happy to schedule an in person visit where I can get everything I need myself and go over options with you in person.
Now that all the hard work is done I’ll take everything we discussed and put it together into a design that is tailored specifically for you. Don’t be afraid to change your mind! Just because something sounded good in words doesn’t mean you are stuck with it once you can see it.
Step 3:
Time to build!
Now you get to relax and watch the process.
Once you’ve signed off on your design it’s time for me to build. I’ll send you occasional updates on the progress as the work goes from rough lumber to your finished piece. I may also reach out during this time to ask a question or two just to make sure we’re getting you your perfect end result. Don’t overthink it. If your gut says we should go one way or the other then follow that instinct.
That’s It! You did it!
Congrats you did it! Your new piece is ready for you to take home and brag to all your friends about!
