Jessica Okonski is a wedding photographer whose work dried up when nuptials were cancelled en masse during the pandemic. She started fiddling around in a small wood shop to keep busy, learning how to make rolling pins and bowls that she gave away to friends. Soon, Okonski started getting requests for custom pieces, so she created an Instagram account for her woodwork called This Lady Wood. Now, she makes custom furniture full time.” - Toronto Life, Haley Steinberg

Embrace Uniqueness

In a world inundated with mass-produced furniture, there's something truly special about surrounding yourself with pieces that are as unique as you are. Custom furniture offers a myriad of benefits beyond just functionality; it brings warmth, character, and a sense of individuality to your home that simply can't be replicated by store-bought items.


Tailored to Your Style

Custom furniture allows you to express your personal style and preferences in every detail. Whether you gravitate towards sleek, modern designs or prefer the timeless elegance of rustic charm, custom pieces can be tailored to suit your aesthetic perfectly. From selecting the type of wood and finishes to choosing unique design elements, the possibilities are endless.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

Custom furniture is often more sustainable and eco-friendly than mass-produced alternatives. By opting for locally sourced materials and handcrafted production methods, you can reduce your environmental footprint while enjoying furniture that is both beautiful and sustainable.

BEAUTY IN DETAILS

When you invest in custom furniture, you're investing in quality craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Where the beauty is in each little thought out detail. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted and looked over by my hands. From sturdy joinery to exquisite detailing, custom furniture is built to last, ensuring that you'll enjoy its beauty and functionality for years to come.

Perfect Fit for Your Space

One of the most significant advantages of custom furniture is its ability to be tailored to fit your space perfectly. Whether you're furnishing a cozy nook or a sprawling living room, custom pieces can be designed to maximize space and functionality, ensuring a seamless integration into your home's layout.


Uniqueness and Exclusivity

Stand out from the crowd with custom furniture that reflects your individuality. Unlike mass-produced pieces that are ubiquitous, custom furniture is inherently unique and exclusive to you. It adds a touch of personality and charm to your home, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
