Ever since Tom's grandfather showed him his antique woodworking hand tools, Tom knew he would be a craftsman for life.
Over 25 years and several experiences ago, Tom's skills were perfected from historical restorations for the National Park Service to eco-building his own home in Crestone, Colorado to mastering all aspects of finish carpentry.
Jeanne perfected her skills in the designing and finishing end after several years of working in the fashion industry. She produced fashion shows for Saks Fifth Avenue in San Diego, Los Angeles and New York and has personally worked with several world renowned designers including Oscar de la Renta, Bob Mackie, Mary McFadden, Bill Blass, Carolyne Roehm, and Carolina Herrera, just to name a few.
Tom and Jeanne felt they had something special when they started accumulating perfectly good wood and other discarded materials left behind by construction sites and old homesteads in Crested Butte, Colorado. They packed up a moving truck, mostly full of salvaged goods, moved to Crestone and together built their unique custom home using 95% reclaimed and recycled materials. They were asked to remove an old turn of the century maintenance facility (circa 1880's) from the town of Crestone which they later used as the siding for their home along with other natural resources they found on their land.
Soon after, Tom and Jeanne began using a myriad of reclaimed woods, natural stones and salvaged metals to create one of a kind handcrafted green furniture.
In 2010, they opened their new wood shop and small showroom in Kittredge, CO and have on average reclaimed and salvaged over 20,000 lbs. of wood and other materials per year. They acquire their materials from many private donations and offer to make custom pieces in return.
