Hi! I’m Rachel Koehler.

I LOVE what I do and that’s making furniture pretty and useful again. I restore, refurbish, repair and refinish old, broken, outdated, forgotten pieces from the past & turn them into one-of-a-kind high quality treasures you will LOVE to use in your spaces that nobody else will have, and that’s what makes them so cool.

I hope to be a part of helping you make your vision come to life by either refinishing pieces for you, or inspiring you to take on a project of your own!

Thank you for being here!

Thank you for visiting us!

You can find our finished pieces in our two local retail locations at The Homemade Market in Eau Claire, WI, and Locale Makers Market in Stillwater, MN. We offer very affordable local delivery and are now happy to offer long-distance white-glove delivery services anywhere within the domestic US, too!

Follow our website, newsletter, facebook, Insta or Etsy store to see what’s new!

Let’s Stay in Touch

“Let your faith be bigger than your fear. If I could give advice to anyone thinking about changing their path it would be: Don’t think, just do it. With hard work and faith it’ll come together. Be OK with being uncomfortable and putting yourself out there. Work hard every single day. Be relentless in your work ethic and make sure that people can count on you. Always be willing to give… it’ll come back to you!”
