🔨 PARDON OUR MESS! 🔨

After about 40 years in this building, we decided some of our original showroom pieces were ready for retirement. 😂

Our hours of operation will remain the same while construction is underway, so come on in!

Stay tuned as this project goes from endless conversations, countless emails, and staff input to something built to last for the next 50 years of business.

We can’t wait to show you the finished product! 👀
