Every shaker table needs some shaker chairs of course. 📸 @sabethpar and as always a big thank you to @bohnhoff_lumber who even in these strange times has accomodated and found a way for us to pick the stock we need. Especially super critical when making chairs.

Just delivered this most recent commission which is a display case for a set of billiard balls belonging to my client’s grandfather. Heirlooms take many shapes. To outsiders they are usually just trivial objects. For myself people wouldn’t quite get my grandmother’s gold painted rotary phone, or the crackled red glasses I drank soda out of at my grandparents house as a kid. For those of us who hold on to and cherish such things though, they give a deep sense of personal belonging, history, and family connection. I was honored to be trusted to make such an important object no matter its diminutive size.

Latest table delivered to its new home. This was another fun collaboration with @robinnanneystudio . Thanks to @houseoflumber_la for the beautiful piece of 12/4. Always special when you can make something from one tree. Also thank you to @sdmjohnson for the brains and assist. #martysmadlab

This corner was allowed to breathe. A bulky upper cabinet was removed, the cabinetry repainted in a soft garden green, and a dark stone surface introduced. The scalloped shelving was carefully restored, its original curves preserved, and softened below with an organic linen floral skirt. Copper hardware, suspended baskets, and antique French clay pots bring a gentle, timeworn charm.
A small, considered corner.

Happy to get a mention in Architectural Digest and for my involvement with @beatrizrosedesign and her project at this years @pasadenashowcasehouse . The design of this room draws inspiration from Beatrix Potter whom I love. Having grown up with her books I imagine I draw inspiration from her as well.
I put a lot of work into this room as well as building new furniture and lending some period Connecticut pieces. Some may recognize the little shaker chair. It was built to finish a set made for a friend that lost their house in the Eaton fire. The large potting table was also purpose built for this room. If you have a chance check out the Showcase House from now till May 18.

Here's a glimpse of our master woodworker @brawleymade incredible craftsmanship—artfully restoring vintage cabinets and recreating new corbels. This is just one of many places where his talent shines in our space, and we’re so lucky to have his work featured in our Garden Studio for @pasadenashowcasehouse
The checkerboard accent wall is meticulously painted by @colorsystems1

Snapped a couple photos of the now painted hutch and banquette while going over finish samples for a new table in the space. Love how warm this room is feeling. #customfurniture #customfurnituredesign #interiordesign #diningroom #hutch #banquette
Thank you @brooklynbowyer for help with installation. Excited to see this with a coat of paint on it. Dining table next.

Between teaching and aerospace work with @sdmjohnson I have been working on a fun collaboration with @beatrizrosedesign building out a dining room in a beautiful glendale home. These pieces are primed in the shop but I leave the finish painting to the professionals. Corner banquette installed, 12’ hutch soon to go in and a dining table up next. It is going to be a fun one. Hope to get some photos when everything is painted. #workinprogress #farrowandballpaint #customfurniture #furnituredesign #diningroomdesign #customwoodwork #interiordesign
