Stillwater homes and the furniture in them
Stillwater sits on the bluffs above the St. Croix River and calls itself the birthplace of Minnesota. As an old lumber and river town, it has one of the richest collections of historic homes in the state: Victorian mansions on the hill, sturdy 19th-century houses downtown, and a Main Street antique district that draws collectors from across the region. If any town in the metro is furnished with true antiques, it is Stillwater.
That is exactly the work we love. The pieces that come to us from Stillwater are often museum-worthy: ornate Victorian dressers, marble-top washstands, dining tables and heirloom case goods with original hardware. We treat each one with patience, matching stain and sheen and preserving the age and character rather than erasing it. We also refinish kitchen cabinets and repair well-built older furniture that just needs a fresh surface.
