How it all started

We started creating furniture, cabinetry, woodworking and home decor when my wife and I bought our first home in 2016 in Nashville, TN. We moved from a small one bedroom apartment into a house that had no furniture. In shopping for furniture, my wife would show me designs that were over priced, made of poor quality materials and standard designs and finishes that you could purchase in any big box retail store. It was then and there that I decided to start building our home’s furniture. My first piece was our cedar dining room table and benches. Through having people over to our home and seeing the work, friends and family kept telling me that they would like unique pieces of furniture and decor for them. We have made everything from outdoor bars, coffee tables, end tables, beds, dining room tables, benches, cabinetry and anything else in between. I grew up with a passion for building at a very young age riding around with my father in his truck to the job sites he was working on. I find true peace in creating one a kind works of art for my customers. Since our beginning, we have also created divisions for customer cabinetry, timber framing of homes, barns and other buildings as well as residential and commercial new construction and renovation. We look forward to the challenges and completion of creating your custom pieces! If there is anything that you don’t see that you would like please contact us at Southern.Manor.Co@gmail.com and we will be happy to work with you!
