Custom furniture creates a distinct design statement. When we receive and order for something unique and personal to a client’s home, we give it a lot of thought and attention. Curating a collection of hand made furnishings for the home adds such a personal touch and our hope is that the pieces will live long in the space.
Mike’s been working on a fireplace surround, stunningly accented with copper, for clients who are collectors. This project has two side cabinets of alder wood, with glass inserts in the doors. I’ve been anxiously waiting for photos of the finished piece to share with you. The copper on this work of art is surfaced and patinaed with Mike’s signature colors and textures. Inspired by nature, the finish is done with heat and strong hands.
Building a collection of custom furniture
Earlier this year, the clients commissioned a bed which I shared with you here. We love it when people come back for seconds. It is the nature of art lovers to create personal collections, and being a part of the creative process is rewarding.
Piece by piece this beautiful collection is growing and becoming a welcoming space for these homeowners. The headboard, nightstands and fireplace cabinet create a relaxing environment and reflect the beauty and calm of the desert.
Have you thought about adding a splash of copper to old furnishings, or accenting a new piece with just a touch? The look and transformation range from rustic to contemporary and the result is striking. We have a wide range of textures and colors in our selections and can help you with ideas.

Happy updating,
julie & Mike Dumas
