Lake Elmo homes and the furniture in them
Lake Elmo has held onto its rural character in a way few east-metro towns have. Between the Old Village historic district, the open space around Lake Elmo Park Reserve, and acreage lots with old farmsteads and horse properties, it is a mix of century-old farmhouses and newer custom-built estates. That range means the furniture is a range too, from primitive antiques to fine modern pieces.
The work that comes to us from Lake Elmo often has that farmhouse pedigree: harvest tables, pie safes, primitives, oak dressers and hutches with a lot of age and character, alongside the well-made furniture in the newer executive homes. We strip, repair and refinish each piece by hand, preserving the patina where it matters and building a durable finish that stands up to daily use. We also refinish kitchen cabinets for homeowners updating a kitchen without a tear-out.
