Hello,
I just saw the write-up in This Old House magazine about your tables.
We're glad you'll be getting the exposure.
You made a farmhouse table for us maybe 6-7 years ago, and it's still
our
favorite piece in the house. Thank you for your craftsmanship and
dedication
Enjoy the holidays,

Danette,
Our table arrived today and it is exactly what we've been
searching for
for a long time! Real wood with beautiful character and details.
The
thicker "Katrina" legs give us the girth that we wanted for our open
dining
room/great room and the color is warm and rich. As others have
said, this
table is even more remarkable in person. Thank you for sharing
your
wonderful talent with us way up here in Washington state!
Linda & Bryan Powell
P.S. The crating, packing and shipping was excellent and the shipping
company communication and helpfulness was outstanding.

Danette - just got my table! The driver uncrated it outside and
brought it inside.It's more than I expected. Loved your little
note (my granddaughter
loves to crawl under the dining room table and look at your note
there). The size is just
right and the color is warm and wonderful. I'm just putting her
in place now
and will dream some nineteenth century dreams tonite.
Thank you again for your exceptional work. Carol

Dear Danette and John,
Our kitchen remodel is 95% complete. I wanted to send you some photos of
the table and your artwork. Both have been really well received by our
friends and family. We absolutely love the pieces that we got from you
both. Our friends have been asking us where we got these pieces and
where
you are located. We are looking forward to spending lots of time as a
family gathered around that table and John's artwork will also ways be a
wonderful reminder of both of you and how talented and kind you are and
were
to us during our purchasing decision period.
Thanks again and we'll stay in touch.

Hi Danette ~
We received our farm table a couple of days ago and it is soooo
beautiful! You did a wonderful job. It is better than we
had even hoped for! It is exactly what I have been looking for
for the past 20 years. Thank you also for sending me the
instructions on how to care for it. We will enjoy it forever!
Thanks again!!!~Rhonda McKinney
Hi Danette
I'm so sorry...I've been meaning to write you. Yes, we received
the table and also the chairs I ordered with another company from
Pennsylvania and together they look wonderful. I'm just in love
with this table as I thought I would be. We really appreciate the
hard work that went into this and the sentiment you wrote on the bottom.
Thank you so much...

It truly is a work of art....You are soooooooooooo talented....I hope
you know that!!!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your beautiful work and I know
you put your heart
and soul into each and every inch of her.

Hi Danette,
I have been meaning to write you and tell you how much we love the table you
made for us. It is absolutely perfect in our home on San Juan Island. Many
have asked me where we got it and I have provided your contact information to
several.
I am also interested in one of your paintings - it is on page 11 of your website
- it is the painting of the tulips. Is it still available? Also, is it framed
and/or how do you hang it? We would like to put it in our dining area near the
table. Thank you again for the wonderful table - it is the focus of our home.
You have a unique and wonderful creative gift.

I purchased a harvest table in March of 2004. I came to Atlanta for spring
break and drove to your house with my sister from San Diego to pick it up. It
is 7 feet by 31 inches. It has tapered legs. I need a bench to fit between the
legs when not in use. The distance between the legs is 65 and 1/4 inches. I
need the bench to be 16 or 16 and a half inches tall. Is this possible and what
would be the cost and shipping to Indianola, Iowa. Thanks. We love our table!!

Danette and John,
Although we moved into our first new house last September and got our table
around the same time, we have just now gotten organized enough to be able
to send you pictures of our dining room with our awesome table. It is
always the first thing people notice when they visit. Our house is more of
a casual, tropical theme and we still have a ways to go as far as
decorating and furnishings but I wanted to share with you anyway, as when I
viewed other customer's pictures this helped me 'envision' the endless
possibilites of a farm table. I am glad I opted for the thicker shaker
legs and wider table top....and originally I was worried that 7-1/2 feet
was a bit too long, but as you can see, it fits perfectly 3 standard dining
chairs with just enough room....it is perfect! Hope you are both doing
well.
Kindest regards,

Danette,We received our table and side board the other day and - we immediately
set these up in our dining room and paired them with some chairs we have
collected over the years. They all have come together wonderfully!! Your
craftsmanship has exceeded any expectations we could have had. We are traveling
therapists and spend lots of time looking around the country for quality pieces
that fit the motif of our home- when we saw the pictures on the internet of your
tables and additional pieces, we knew that the work you do would be perfect, but
the end result was magnificent. Thank you very much for your commitment to
excellence! We will definitely recommend your furniture to our friends and
family. As per your inscription on the underside of our table, we will use it
with love and enjoyment with both friends and family for years to come.
thank-you, Danny and Tonya.

Hello Danette,
Wow!
The table and benches arrived today. They are absolutely gorgeous!! I would
not have thought it possible, but they are even better than the pictures you
sent us. Absolutely fantastic!!! I am amazed at your artistry / craftsmanship.
A few quick questions -> What kind of care/maintenance should I give the table?
What type of finish did you use? How often should I oil/wax etc (if at all)?
If I should, what product/brand would you recommend?
Again, thank you!!
They are beautiful!! I am sure that we will come back to you soon about having
you make us some other type of piece. We love the table / benches.

Danette,
We just got her in the house. I honestly do not know what to say. I have
looked for YEARS for a farm table that I liked. I have had this picture in
my head of what I wanted it to look like and just could not find it. She is
exactly the picture that I had in my head. She is beautiful, just beautiful.
Around Christmas time right after I ordered her I showed my mom some
pictures of your tables. She thought they were beautiful. Two weeks ago she
passed away unexpected. I wish she could have seen it. I will be adding her
name to the bottom of the table beside your message. Thank you so much! We
will share many good times sitting around her. I will send you a picture
when I get her in place and pick out some chairs. You did such a good.
Thanks again.

My dry sink was delivered late on Friday. It's beautiful. My granddaughter and I looked for
your signature (which she reads on the bottom of the table every time she comes over)
and we found the little tin can cover.
It's sitting now in my kitchen with an old fashioned lamp on it just so we can see it
from the living room.
Thank you again for making two of my now most prized possessions.
We'll take digital photos when table is set (we do a winter solstice
dinner) as I go to my daughter's on Xmas.
Have a wonderful holiday and and happy and prosperous new year.

Hi all,
We just purchased a harvest table from you guys (and we love it!). We
are now looking for other furniture to finish the dining room.
Do you guys make custom-made sideboards? We are interested in
something to go with the table (same style, and antique pine, etc). I
see one on your website, but it is too big. If so, we need something
along the lines of 42" wide, 16-17" deep, and 36" high. We'd like 2
drawers on top, and 2 doors underneath. Any idea of what something
like this would cost?
Thanks so much!
Best,

Hi Danette,
I can't believe that my dream pieces of furniture are really here! It feels so
strange, like serendipity, looking at them because your website was the one that
I kept going back to over and over again. I just knew you were the right choice
and the both pieces are beautiful.
Ron is finishing our kitchen floor today, the side board will move into it's
permanent spot tomorrow and I've ordered two stools that should arrive next
week. I actually ordered the rustic looking one from your email that you sent
to me (in the 24" height). Next week I will begin the search for the perfect
chairs and accessories.
Thanksgiving is around the corner and I can't wait for the kids and their new
spouses to see the table and sideboard. More important, I can't wait to see
them sitting around, drinking coffee, helping me cook, and smiles all around.
They have always had a love for items with a rich history.
If you don't mind, I will take some pictures of our family over the holidays
with the table and sideboard and forward them to you. I think you'll see how beautifully the
love you put into your work are a perfect match for our family.
Thank you again for the beautiful pieces and for the wood care information.

I just wanted to let you know that the table arrived last Friday. The truck
driver was such a nice man (I made him some chocolate chip cookies) and the
packing people did a great job insuring that the table arrived without a
scratch! It's perfect and looks exactly like I wanted it to in my kitchen.
Twenty-five years from now, I hope it has a dozen grandchildren sitting around
it! I
took some pictures (see attachments), but they did turn out pretty dark.
If we are ever in the area, (my daughter's Godparents live in Macon), I will
give you a call and stop by, it that is ok. Never know what else my house
could use!
Thanks again.

Dear Danette,
Just wanted to let you know that our table arrived today and we LOVE it!
You were right, the pictures did not do it justice. The rustic quality of the
wood is perfect (and I love the nails!) - it is exactly what we have been
searching for. You are very talented and it is obvious you love what you do.
Thank you for the lovely message; that was such a nice surprise! I know we

It was a pleasure to do business with you and hope you have continued
success,

I just
want to compliment you on the magnificent job you did on our bench,
which was ordered from you by my designer Sarah Chiavarou. I know
you shipped it a while ago, but I saw it for the first time on the 19th,
when we moved into our new house. I’ve attached a couple pictures
so you can see it in its new home. I truly think this bench is my
favorite piece in the whole house! Thank you for being willing to
make it exactly to our specifications. I love the character of
the wood, and the rusticity of the nails. It’s one-of-a-kind, and
just perfect for the foyer.

I wish I had something else I needed you to make for us!

Hi there! We absolutely
LOVE the
pieces you made!!!!!! Everything is just perfect and goes great
with our wide plank flooring. Thanks for doing such a great job!
The furniture arrived last week, but Megan was born 3 weeks early and
spent 3 weeks in the NICU. That's why it has taken me this long to get
back to you. However, she came home yesterday and now that we're
all in the house, it is a home.
Just wondering if you could
either mail
or e-mail me a receipt for all the pieces (for our records).
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Tom, Sarah, Brandon, and Megan
Danette,
The benches were delivered and are spectacular. They look very similar to
the table. The recipient of this gift is exceptionally happy with the
results too.
Also, thanks for the personal note on the bottom of the bench. That was a
really nice touch. I am glad to have found you.
Dear
Danette,
It looks FABULOUS! We could not be happier. What do you need
us to do now? Do you still have the credit card information? or should
we phone you? Also ,how do we take care of the shipping? Can you give
them the credit card information or do we need to phone them? Please
advise. Can't thank you enough!
