I design and build all of my furniture in my backyard workshop in New Orleans. All of my pieces are made from reclaimed material personally salvaged from 100+ year old new orleans homes left to rot or torn down. I collect and store all of my material from massive wide plank boards to old bead board to cypress windows and moldings to pieces of wrought iron railing from the french quarter and around town. My pieces have a simple strait forward design. The old heart pine or cypress framing material, along with the patina of layers of old paint are what really enhance the furniture and bring a unique look to the piece. As my business grows orders may take up to 5 to 6 weeks from order to shipping please inquire about time frames. These are one of a kind custom pieces individually built by hand, sorry for the timeframe but that is part of custom furniture.For more of my portfolio and ideas for custom made pieces I can build for you check out: www.flickr.com/matthewholdren
