5 out of 5 starsGorgeous! Didn't know I could be this blown away by night stands. Even the professional photos don't do it justice. It's immediately noticeable that it's high quality wood and craftsmanship. Definitely bookmarking this vendor for the future.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful item!! The seller was very prompt and helpful about choosing a finish, and the table arrived when expected. It is really stunning, sturdy, and has a lovely smooth finish. It looks great and is an excellent size to act as both a plant stand and a side table.

5 out of 5 starsI am delighted with the pedestal stand. It is beautiful and well crafted, with subtleties that are unique because of the wood pieces used. The pedestal stand really helps to define the character of the room it's in. The artist was a joy to work with. I ordered a custom size, and the process was as smooth as can be. I highly recommend this shop!

5 out of 5 starsThis little table is beautiful! The quality of the woodwork is outstanding. It’s a little bit of PEI in my home! Couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsRobias went above and beyond and was such a pleasure to work with. I had previously ordered stools from him and loved his work. I took a shot and asked if he could help me create a custom shelf for an odd space. He accepted the challenge and asked me all the questions to insure it would turn out as desired. When the shelf arrived, it was beyond what I expected! Very well done, perfect stain to match the floors and very sturdy. A floating shelf that is actually functional. It’s absolutely beautiful and we’ve received multiple compliments. I look forward to my next purchase.

The island beaches are where I go to carve. Every single stool leg is hand carved, making carving time quite important.

Every person has the potential to make a difference
For the last four years, we've owned a little piece of heaven in PEI, Canada.
In 2016, we purchased a century old farmhouse that sat upon just under 60 acres of mixed habitat. In the first days of owning this land, we felt called to establish it as a nature reserve.
We built and installed bird feeders and bird houses, bee houses and swallow boxes. We cut dedicated walking trails early in spring so that we wouldn't be walking in the long grass where tiny eggs were lying underfoot. Our swallow boxes filled up with nests, the long grass provided spaces for sparrows to hatch tiny eggs under dandelion flowers. Cavity dwelling bees filled the hollows of our bee houses, providing our garden and apple trees with pollination. Our family grew from two to four, and our toddlers ran screaming with joy through the walking trails, helping us collect wildflower seeds.
Inside, our home changed as it went from dark colours to whites, from empty to overflowing. Plants were brought in one by one, and eventually occupied every window. Our children learned about gentleness through treating plants with respect both indoors and out. With the abundance of greenery in our home, we started to build different plant stands for walls, window sills, and corners. Customized designs for natural oases, both indoor and out, became integral to our lives.
As a result of the pandemic, I left my job as a result of a lack of childcare for our two toddlers. I had opened my Etsy shop, selling bird houses and bee houses, the year prior. Being at home with our children provided me the opportunity to create more designs for our home and for our nature reserve, and to share them with the world.
We live by the policy of doing no harm, so all of our wood is reclaimed. For us, this is no buzz word. Barn board is provided by our 70ft long on site century old stable, which we're slowly disassembling and turning into items like our window sill risers, angled plant stands, and all of our "Homes for Wildlife", including our bird houses, bee houses, and bird feeders. We have partnered with local fishermen to salvage damaged or retired lobster traps that would otherwise be burned. We break them down and turn them into items like our lobster trap plant stands, coat hangers, and floating shelves. We take regular trips to the local beaches that PEI is famous for, to collect garbage from the shores, as well as washed up lobster traps and driftwood for our one of a kind plant stands, woodpecker feeders, and business card holders. We visit a local miller to salvage cut offs from massive piles, which would otherwise be burned as biomass. These milled pieces of local lumber are turned into our live edge shelves, and two of our favourite products, our tripod plant stands the real bark birdhouses.
With two decades of carpentry experience in custom renovations in heritage homes, I've acquired the skills necessary to build customized products out of many different materials. Each piece starts as a piece of wood that few people would attempt to work with, and is turned into something unique and functional. The wide range of finishing products that I use are chosen to bring out the full potential of the wood. Each piece is unique, with varying grains, colours, and wear such as nails, nail holes, cracks, and knots. I prefer to include and highlight these characteristics as a product feature, versus try to work against them. I like the idea of celebrating a second life for the wood products, instead of trying to make the wood look freshly milled.
We take custom orders for whatever you desire, and thank you wholeheartedly for visiting our shop. I look forward to building for you.
