🏛️✨ Coming Soon: Restoring a Piece of Goshen History ✨🏛️

Most of the furniture that comes through my shop can be loaded onto a trailer. This one? Not so much. 😄

Over the next few weeks, I'll be working on-site, inside the historic downtown Goshen courthouse restoring this incredible antique inventory cabinet, which dates back to when the court house was being restored in 1905.

Just look at it! Row after row of drawers, cubbies, and storage compartments—all built long before computers, spreadsheets, or barcode scanners.

For more than 100 years, this cabinet has quietly helped keep records and supplies organized while generations came and went through these halls.

Because projects like this don't come along every day, I'll be sharing the restoration journey in a three-part short video series:

📹 Before – A closer look at the cabinet, its history and the restoration process.
🔨 During – a clean look at the behind-the-scene work
✨ After – The final reveal

I feel incredibly honored to be trusted with preserving a piece of our community's history, and I can't wait to share the transformation with you.

Stay tuned—you won't want to miss this one!

What's your favorite thing about your corner of Middlebury - Elkhart County - Northern Indiana?

Middlebury may be a small town, but it's filled with hardworking people, rich traditions, beautiful countryside, and neighbors who genuinely care about one another.

From our local shops and restaurants to the Amish farms that help shape the character of this area, there's something special about life here.

We're also fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful communities like Shipshewana, Bristol, Elkhart, Goshen, Wakarusa, and Nappanee, each with their own charm, festivals, and small-town spirit.

Whether it's summer celebrations, fall festivals, or simply stopping to chat with familiar faces around town, this area has a way of making people feel connected.

As someone who refinishes and restores furniture from my home workshop, I'm grateful for every client who trusts me with a treasured family heirloom, a beloved antique, or a piece that deserves a second chance.

Many of the stories behind these pieces are just as meaningful as the furniture itself.

Thank you to everyone who supports local businesses like mine. I feel incredibly fortunate to live, work, and create in a community that values craftsmanship, history, and helping one another.

❤️ Home is Middlebury, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

SOLD!

These nightstands are the perfect example of patience, reinvention, and waiting for the right buyer.

Eighteen months after I brought them home from an auction, they finally found their forever home.

What started as a single desk was carefully transformed into a pair of nightstands. My first vision for them featured a deep, rich green finish with gold appliqués for the holiday season.

After six months, I decided to give them a fresh direction—adding an embossed design, repainting them in classic Annie Sloan US Original White, and updating the hardware.

Sometimes a piece needs more than one chapter before its story is complete. I'm so glad these beauties finally found the perfect place to call home.

Thank you to Birds Gotta Fly Vintage for a place where buyers can give vintage and antique furniture a new beginning!
