It took me a while to really get it. This business is about the places, people and things that inspire our designs and fuel our passions. Most of all it’s about the furniture.
This is the story about what we make. Solid construction built to last. At Kimberley Jackson we don’t hide the materials we use; we celebrate them. The furniture is designed and finished to accent the nature of the wood, to preserve its beauty and character. We combine the best of timeless forms with modern conveniences and top them with “Wood With History”.
Much of what makes heirloom furniture designs so beautiful is simple. It’s classic. Our customers love the look and feel of old lumber. Whether it is from a 130 year old barn or a century home we find a place for it in our furniture. A two inch thick slab of 100 year old pine sits on top of a buffet waiting to be sent to the store in Toronto in time for Christmas. I like to think of it as preserving history; of bringing a piece of the past into someone’s home.
At our shop here in Huntsville Ontario there is no assembly line. Instead it has the best features of a craftsman shop designed to meet the needs of a more hurried society; loyal to the values of true workmanship coupled with a modern flair for the functional. In our shop each piece gets its time in the spotlight tended to by a team of passionate professionals building furniture to last.
In this blog I will explore the things that have inspired us along the way and the people and places that still do. I hope to share my passion for old buildings and furniture and introduce you to a few friends along the way. Welcome to our Blog and I can’t wait to see you again
Jack
