In our workshop, we specialize in taking the pieces of old wood, reclaimed metal, scrap leather, and other materials that most people throw away and make them useful and beautiful. We design and build home decorations and holiday decor with character to furnish your home.

After working 8 years in banking, Rachel made a big change and moved to Kentucky where she began working with wood, and learned to love the old character and history that surrounded her new home.

Paul was finishing building his home on Sandy Gap Road. He went to Kentucky Lumber to purchase wood for his house, where Rachel was working at the time. Paul noticed Rachel the moment she greeted him. They struck up a conversation about his home project and discovered they both lived in the same town of Auburn. Paul left that day with a trailer load of lumber, and couldn't stop thinking about Rachel for the months that followed.

Several months later, Paul came to pick up more lumber to finish his home project, and he met Rachel again. He considered asking her out on a date during that visit, but decided it wasn't the right time. So he prayed about it over the next week and a half, and on a rainy Wednesday morning in February, he courageously went back into that small town store, and asked Rachel if she would go out on a date. It was a Hallmark moment! Nine months later, they were married. God was certainly in the details, and He is still working on their story as they grow this business, open new doors, and raise their own family.

Sandy Gap Road is where they live, and where their story began. The walls of their home tell the story of how they met, and now they work to create designs that tell stories in your homes. The gap has been filled in their lives in many ways, and now they want to fill the gap for you.

When you buy something created by The Sandy Gap, you may be buying an item built from an old piece of Kentucky barn wood, a piece of siding from an old Kentucky home, a scrap of leather from an old Amish leather worker's shop, or from scrap lumber. Honestly, you will be buying a symbol of our own faith in Christ. He has taken the old worn out and useless things in us and made beautiful things through it all. We model our creations after the greatest creator of all! We hope you enjoy our shop and we look forward to serving you!
