Re:Work's commitment to building furniture from reclaimed barns is smack on point! I was introduced to this husband-and-wife-run show at a Yelp event showcasing locally run businesses around central Ohio. They know where to look, who to know, and how to make wonderful furniture. Picture frames, tables, basically, you name it and, if it's feasible, they'll make it! We were able to make a simple, but classy wood plant vase out of their reclaimed barn wood. "Reduce, reuse, recycle" at its finest! I'm excited that they're working on expanding there work space. Having the front-space addition, they're planning to make a "show room"/ come and try/experience their offerings before you chat and decide on a design. Nice!

We were so lucky to learn about Edgework Creative at an event that was being hosted there. Lindsay,…read moreone of the awesome owners, was at the event. She gave us some background on the company and just made us fall in love with what they are doing there in Grandview. We purchased a kitchen cutting board that evening and it truly is my favorite addition to my kitchen. The quality of this cutting board is obvious. It is sturdy and beautiful. We hope to purchase a tall standing mirror in the future. They have many on hand in their workshop that can be viewed if you stop by. We are saving up now for it. Feel free to stop by their incredible shop to see what they have on hand for purchase. You can also contact them via their website with any vision you have in mind that you would like made personally for you. Check them out!
