From engraving to home décor, we create meaningful pieces made to last.
Sweet Grass Home & Design was born from two very different worlds coming together:
oil & gas grit and 16 years of teaching and coaching.
I spent years in the oil and gas industry—long days, long miles, and even longer stretches away from home. It was hard work that taught me discipline, problem-solving, and how to build things that last. But it also made me realize how much I wanted to create something closer to home, something rooted in family.
Julie spent 16 years as a special education teacher and coach. She earned her master’s degree, poured her heart into her students, and built a career centered around patience, creativity, and helping people feel seen and capable. She has a gift for detail, design, and turning simple ideas into something meaningful.
Put those two paths together… and Sweet Grass Home & Design grew naturally.
What started as experimenting with a laser engraver turned into custom cutting boards, engraved tumblers, plasma-cut metal signs, welding projects, home décor creations, and furniture repurposing. Before long, friends and neighbors were asking for custom pieces—and then their friends were too.
Today, Sweet Grass Home & Design is our way of building something real, something ours, right here in Kansas.
A place where:
My hands-on experience in construction and fabrication
Julie’s creativity, design sense, and educator’s heart
Come together to make pieces you’ll be proud to bring into your home.
From custom engraving to home décor, from metalwork to furniture with new life—we put our passion into every order.
Thanks for supporting our family, our small business, and this dream we’re building one piece at a time.
