We re-imagine forgotten furnishings, creating unique treasures that bring joy to your home. Rescued • Restauré • Rehomed # About Us
*"Art says the unspeakable; expresses the inexpressible; translate the untranslatable"* - often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci
We believe that every piece of furniture carries stories within its grain—memories of the hands that crafted it, the homes it graced, the lives it witnessed. As sisters with complementary creative visions, we've found our shared passion in breathing new life into forgotten furnishings, transforming them into statement pieces that honor their history while embracing bold new possibilities.
# # Our Journey
Sarah's creative awakening came later in life, after an ADHD diagnosis prompted a meaningful shift in priorities. Having spent her career in hard sciences—with a background in biochemistry, cardiovascular perfusion, military service, and government intelligence work—this artistic turn in her mid-forties represented a complete transformation. The analytical mind that once focused on precise scientific processes now finds joy in the intuitive, expressive world of furniture artistry. This dramatic life change has brought a happiness and fulfillment she'd never experienced before, proving it's never too late to discover your true calling. Meanwhile, Susan had been nurturing her creative talents since childhood—her first handmade quilt, completed at just eleven years old, is now a treasured heirloom. Susan possesses an extraordinary eye for design and an impressive breadth of crafting knowledge, from the technical details of which screws to use to the artistry of flower arranging. Her home looks like a magazine layout, showcasing her natural ability to bring together colors, textures, and elements in perfect harmony. Beyond her expertise in sewing and craftwork, she creates stunning gardens around her home, all while maintaining a full-time career. Her combination of technical skill and aesthetic vision makes her an invaluable creative partner. When we decided to combine our distinct perspectives and skills, something magical happened. Sarah's fresh enthusiasm and innovative ideas perfectly complemented Susan's lifelong craftsmanship and attention to detail.
# # Our Philosophy
Each piece we refurbish undergoes a thoughtful transformation that's really a story progression. We don't simply refinish furniture—we reimagine its narrative. Take our Provence Rose cabinet, who began as a neglected, tired storage unit and transformed into an elegant focal point perfect for storing a little girl's most treasured childhood objects—a beloved stuffed animal, a handmade keepsake, or a special book filled with memories. From dreamy peacock motifs to elegant French-inspired details, we infuse every creation with personality and purpose, writing a new chapter in each piece's story. We're particularly drawn to pieces that have "outlived their appeal" in their current state but possess good bones and whispers of former glory—pieces ready for their next beautiful chapter.

Our pieces often speak to us before we can find words to describe them. Each transformation begins with a vision—seeing not what a piece is, but what it dreams of becoming. Sometimes we can't fully explain our artistic direction until the piece reveals itself through our hands, and then suddenly, everyone understands.
# # Our Promise
When you bring one of our creations into your home, you're receiving more than beautifully refurbished furniture. You're welcoming a piece that has been lovingly transformed with intention, skill, and artistic vision. Each item receives our dedicated attention, premium materials, and protective finishes to ensure it remains beautiful for years to come.
# # Rescued • Restauré • Rehomed
Our philosophy lives in these three words that capture each piece's complete journey. We **rescue** forgotten furniture from neglect and obscurity, giving overlooked treasures a second chance. Through careful **refurbishment** (restauré), we honor their history while reimagining their future, transforming tired pieces into works of art. Finally, we help them find their perfect match—**rehomed** with families who will cherish them for years to come. It's a complete circle of renewal, respect, and love.
*With creative passion,*
*Sarah & Susan*
