White Bear Lake homes and the furniture in them
White Bear Lake began as a lakeside resort town in the 1800s, and that history still shows. The neighborhoods around the lake and the walkable downtown along Washington and Banning are full of Victorian houses, early-1900s homes and old summer cottages that became year-round residences. Homes like these tend to hold a lot of original woodwork and genuine antique furniture, and the town’s antique shops keep more of it in circulation.
The pieces that reach us from White Bear Lake are often the real thing: turn-of-the-century oak, walnut and cherry dressers, dining sets, buffets and rockers with real history. We strip, repair and refinish each one by hand, preserving the character and the wood underneath. We also refinish kitchen cabinets for homeowners who want to freshen an older kitchen without a tear-out.
