Bloomington homes and the furniture in them
Bloomington is the largest of the Twin Cities suburbs, and much of it went up during the post-war boom of the 1950s and ’60s, when it was one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. That means block after block of solid ramblers, split-levels and story-and-a-half homes, along the Minnesota River bluffs and throughout the older neighborhoods. Those homes came with the well-made wood furniture of the era, and a lot of it is still going strong.
The pieces we see from Bloomington reflect that mid-century backbone: sturdy dressers, dining sets, bedroom suites and occasional heirloom antiques that have moved from house to house. Rather than replace a good solid piece, we strip it back and rebuild the finish by hand. We also refinish kitchen cabinets for owners who like their layout and just want a fresh, updated color without the mess of a remodel.
