Jonathan Ellis · Founder

Good furniture deserves another chapter.

The mission is straightforward: give new life to old furniture and keep it out of the dump.
A vintage find can become the piece that makes a room feel like home.

From restored Mid-Century pieces to customer-owned refinishing, finish quality and customer relationships are at the heart of A Designer’s Find.
