Our motto is "Refresh, Restore, Re-Buy, Reuse," and all of the following are pieces that have been upcycled into "Rough Luxe" pieces using these methods. Everything in The Shop is repurposed into a luxurious piece right here in my shop from things that came from someone's ancestors, and can be enjoyed again, in their professionally upfitted style!<br />
<br />
The above cabinet was just recently completed my Marcia, here in The Shop. It originally was a cabinet within the Castle at Sedgefield Country Club that was headed for the curb. I wish I had a before picture to share with you, because it looked nothing like this -- it was a dirty cream color with mint green trim, and it now has renewed charm and purpose!<br />

This photo does not do it justice. It is a statement piece that would make a wonderful addition to a fireplace in need of a facelift.<br />

In fact, I just obtained an entire standing jewelry chest full of jewelry that will be hitting the shelves this week! Come in and see our latest treasures!<br />

These would make a great welcoming addition to a covered front porch, or anywhere inside where an extra seat is needed.<br />
<br />

These are mid-century pieces that would be right at home in a number of interior areas -- living room, hall way, bedroom, bathroom, or anywhere a reflective surface would enhance your surroundings.<br />

He "uses what nature has given [him] to produce a finished, one of a kind, work of art" with a timeless feel that would make a beautiful to your tree, or a great gift for someone special!<br />
<br />

These pieces have just arrived at the shop, and are receiving lots of interest.<br />
<br />
So these are just a few things we currently have in The Shop. We hope you will visit us and see all the other treasures we have. There are many things that could be used in your home, as well as many items that would make great Christmas Gifts. Hope to see you real soon!<br />

Jamestown is nestled between to bigger cities, Greensboro, and High Point. High Point, NC is known as the "Furniture Capital of the World" Twice a year thousands of people from all over the world travel here to buy furniture for there stores. At one time North Carolina was one of biggest furniture manufacture in the United States. Now, most of the furniture you buy comes from China, and other foreign countries, leaving North Carolina out of the picture and lost jobs. That is why it is important for my small store to carry local, or made in the USA furniture and decor. We love going to estate sales, yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores to resell. Marcia Joyce, my assistant is a very sharp talented gal, she not only paints furniture, faux finishes, venetian plaster, but is quick to decorate a store or home in just a day. We love to find old discarded furniture and give it a new life with a fresh coat of paint. If you are ever in the area please seek us out! We have just a little bit of everything for your home or office. </i></span>Beverlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12650714354873083471noreply@blogger.com1
