About Us
Who We Are
Rogan and I met in 2019 through a mutual friend at a campus bar. We talked all night long, he sent me a Kanye playlist, and the rest is history. We have been going through life together ever since, and we are looking forward to seeing what life brings to us post graduation in 2021. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the US, I was studying abroad in Milan, Italy at the time when the pandemic was at its peak there.I fled to Paris, and planned to meet Rogan there. On his flight there for his spring break trip, the news of the US travel band was put in place, and sadly our romantic trip to Paris, and then Santorini Greece, was cancelled. We were on the next flight home after that. I like to say Rogan came and picked me up from school in Europe and brought me home!
It was now March, and we were already consumed with boredom. School was pretty slow, and at our own pace, so it didn’t consume our time like a normal semester would. We were staying at my parents house in Muncie, IN with little to nothing to do except chores around the house with my mom. Exciting right? One morning, Rogan tells me he wants to build something. Build something? Neither of us had even used a drill before, how were we going to build something from scratch? None the less, we did some research, bought some tools, and found some blue prints online for nightstands. We got to work, and 5 months later we haven’t stopped.
Rogan and I built/refurbished numerous things from desks, two nightstands, dressers, and much more. So far, all of our work has been for our friends or own personal use in our homes, but that could change post graduation. We moved into apartments, so our amount of DIY has slowed down due to the inability to orbital sand a table in our apartment or bring a table saw in the building… but soon enough it will begin again!

What We Do
Refurbish
Rogan and I take old, unloved furniture and give it a new life through our own creative eye. We absolutely love a natural wood look, so we try to highlight the true beauty behind each piece.
Custom Build
One day during quarantine, Rogan had the sudden inspiration to build a nightstand for his watches, and so we did. With neither of us having experience wood working, we did a lot of research and a month later our first piece was created and we are still building!
