We've added Walnut to our roster of woods. What type of wood are you looking for when shopping for furniture? Dark like Walnut or Light like White Oak?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #woodworking #furniture #furnituremaker #smallbusiness #handcrafted #makersmovement #handmade #wood
After racking my brain on how to share insights on our business and process I've decided to make Wednesday - "Workshop Wednesday". My hope is to really showcase the heart of our business, and start conversations with you! ⁣ ⁣ Our first Workshop Wednesday features Bill - our first What WE Make employee!⁣ Bill started in 2013 when we were building furniture in a barn (with no heat!). He is an essential part of our business, and master woodworker! If you've ordered a vanity, cabinet or dresser from us, chances are Bill made it. What else would you like to know about our workshop??? Keep the questions coming! ⁣ ⁣ Photo features our Large Reclaimed Double Door Cabinet (which Bill made!)⁣ ⁣ #furniture #furnituremaker #smallbusiness #handcrafted #makersmovement #handmade #woodworking #wood #woodshop #woodwork #furnituredesign #makersgonnamake #maker #reclaimedwood #craftsman #reclaimed

A huge thank you to @etsy for sharing our reclaimed platform bed! An honor to be mentioned alongside so many artists and handmakers! ******* Imagine waking up in this gorgeous bed every morning. ✨ The frame is made of reclaimed oak, maple, and pine of over 100 years old. A piece that’ll stay in your family for generations to come. Handcrafted by Etsy seller @whatwemake. #furnituremaker #woodworking #bedroom #bedroomfurniture #handmade
Do you buy furniture online? What builds your trust to do so? Images? Video? Reviews? As a small furniture company selling primarily online we are constantly trying to improve our online presence. One measure we take is to shoot all of our photographs in natural light to show you the best representation of the furniture. Sometimes this can be difficult, but the day I shot our reclaimed farmhouse table the sun and the clouds aligned for some great lighting 👍

As the New Year approaches we’re always thinking of ways to refresh our selection of furniture. Recently we started using walnut wood with some of our original designs, and I have to admit they are beautiful! I’m curious what wood type or wood finishes “wood” 😂 you like to see in the upcoming year??? Pictured here is our walnut storage buffet.
