I’m not sure if she could create it again.

Mom and Terri keep reminding me that Sunday is Mother’s Day.  Aren’t sure what to get your mom?  We have great ideas at the store.  And if you say “Mom’s The Word” you’ll hear about our special sale on Saturday and Sunday.

Delivery Day!!

My buddy from Chicago came today to deliver tin, mantles, sconces and more!  It is a family affair with my Dad helping keep track of the tin and my Mom keeping me on budget!  We have some neat patterns this time.

What do I do with the tin?  Some goes on the front of our counters and cabinets, we make framed tin for the wall and lately, mirrors.

Terri is always wondering why I never make her anything.  What do you think, should I make her something?

A creative mind….

Two new creations this week. 

Table with 4 leaves $385

A twist on our usual tables.  Normally we have old legs and put on a new top.  I had taken the legs off of this table to make a harvest table, so we put new legs with the old top.  Has 4 leaves.

Table with old stairwell parts.  $290

We took parts from a stairwell and made the legs and front trim for this table.  I love seeing what I can make out of old things!

Tin Front Cabinet $295

Tin fronted black cabinet—make a statement!

100_8545

Chicago Cabinet with blind doors $1995

Another gorgeous example of the pieces found in old homes.  This cabinet has blind doors instead of glass on the top.

Black Harvest Table $595

Big and chunky would describe this table best!

Whitish/brown table $695

This is our new color scheme.  White, but not stark white, has some brown mixed in.

Harvest Tables

We have a nice selection of tables right now. Big chunky legs and nice thin legs. As always, if we don't have the size, color you are looking for, just ask for me and we can see if we can get one made for you.


We designed a counter for a lady that would fit her dishwasher.  Turned out pretty nice!

Mirrors, counters, tables & more

Busy, Busy, Busy….just a simple word but it describes life at Green Oak recently.  We had our February sale last weekend—THANK YOU for coming out.  The weather isn’t the greatest again, but we are here and ready for you!

We’ll start with the mirrors first.  Big and Beautiful describe these 3.  We have one that has been painted white, one in oak finish and not sure what we will do with the 3rd.  It has gorgeous columns.  Any suggestions?

Tables…well half-tables that is.  White, black and red.  Many to choose from.  Good for sofa tables, tv stands or entry way tables.

000E0077100_8303101_6775

Our counters make wonderful tv stands, kitchen islands, bars or ???  Let your imagination run wild!  We make them with tin doors or tin fronts.  Some have 4 doors, some have 2.  Can have an overhang or not.  Don’t see exactly what you want?  Just talk to me and we can see if we can come up with something that works just for you.

Odds and ends.  We always have a few pieces that just strike my fancy.  We have a neat sideboard and matching blind liquor cabinet just in.  Nice black buffet with doors, coat racks made out of porch posts.  Plus new items are arriving daily in the new home décor section.  Lots of paper flowers---perfect those of you who don’t have a green thumb (I think I’ll get my wife some).
