Custom Cottage Milwaukee

Built for More ✨

This custom bunk bed was designed to make the most of the space while giving this bedroom a little something extra. Featuring integrated stairs, built-in storage drawers, and a queen size lower bed, every detail was thoughtfully designed with both function and style in mind.

Finished in a soft, weathered gray, the clean lines and natural wood grain give this piece a timeless look that can grow with the family.

We love creating furniture that solves a problem, makes a space more functional, and becomes part of the home for years to come.

Same Look, Built to Last ✨

Our client came to us with a set of side tables she already loved but wanted a higher-quality version that was built to last.

We recreated the design of the three-drawer side tables, keeping the classic silhouette she loved while upgrading the construction and craftsmanship. Finished in crisp white with elegant brass ring pulls, these tables are a timeless design recreated with the quality and craftsmanship our client was looking for.

Designed to Complement ✨

Two custom pieces, one beautiful space! These beautiful pieces were crafted from Ambrosia Maple for the same client, each designed with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that lets the natural character of the wood take center stage.

We love how the warm tones and unique grain patterns of the Ambrosia Maple add just the right amount of character to these modern designs.

Thoughtfully designed. Beautifully crafted. Made to last.

✨A Perfect Fit ✨

This custom table was designed to fit seamlessly between two couches, creating one beautiful, cohesive piece of furniture. The two sides interlock with the couches to create a custom fit that makes the most of the space.

This waterfall-edge table was crafted from Ambrosia Maple and finished in one of our personal favorites, Winter Mocha. We love how the natural character of the maple comes through the finish while giving the piece a warm, rich tone.

One of our favorite projects from last year ✨

This custom White Oak sideboard was designed to be as functional as it is beautiful, featuring integrated refrigeration, custom storage drawers, and fluted doors that flow continuously around the curved ends of the cabinet.

The combination of a sleek black exterior, natural White Oak drawers, warm brass hardware, and a marble top creates a beautiful contrast of materials and textures.

We love projects like this because they allow us to combine furniture making, cabinetry, and creative problem-solving to create something truly unique for our client and their home.

Check out this piece we just made for a client in the Chicagoland area. This beautiful sideboard was made from solid White Oak with a natural finish to highlight the amazing grain pattern and character of the wood.

If you're looking to add much-needed storage for your ever-growing family, a custom sideboard like this is a great way to do it while adding a statement piece to your home at the same time.

We love building pieces that are both functional and built to last for generations.
