Sold my first piece of furniture in 2007.  It was a piece I had built for my wife.  She had wanted an outdoor bar out of a Pottery Barn catalog, the real barnwood furniture showroom kind of look. When she showed it to me I said, “I could build that.”  Her reply, “Yeah, but you won’t”.  By 1am, I had finished the piece in our garage with a few hand tools.  I posted a photo of it on Craigslist and it sold the next day.  I built my wife another one and I didn’t stop building.

Purchased barnwood from a man in north county. Hauled all of the lumber back to my garage in my wife’s minivan.  Every day (weather permitting), I’d wheel all my tools into the driveway and front yard and build. To this day I don’t know how people were finding me.  I was building five to six tables a month.

Moved into a 1000 sf strip mall shop in Kirkwood.  Started getting commercial jobs.  Built a 24′ conference table and started partnering with other builders in town to expand into concrete tops and metal.  Quickly outgrew that space but made it work for almost a year.  Added a few part-time employees.

In May we moved into a a 3000 sf space also in Kirkwood.  Brought Doug and Dave on full-time as builders to help keep up with orders and Katie started helping us get organized as a business.  The 3000 sf spaced seemed huge but by 2014 we were again busting at the seams. Started getting clients across the country.  Shipments from Boston to Seattle were not a rare occurrence.  Partnered with Rise Together Ministries and started work training with refugees. So grateful for the many friendships we’ve made and lives that we’ve been a part of.

Moved to a 4500 sf shop in Fenton.  Added Josh to our full-time staff as another builder. As many as 7 guys working at the shop every day (refugees, part time help and full time).

Met an Amish cabinet maker who was struggling to keep his family shop going.  While their style was different than ours, their talent was amazing.  They started building cabinets for us and allowed us to expand Reclaim Renew even more.

Hired Jen on as a full time showroom manager and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint specialist. Hired Taylor on as a full time designer and project manager. Started our venture into Colorado with the help of our good friend Sunnie. Expanded and had great success in our custom orders, both in commercial and residential projects.

Continuing our custom business, venturing further into commercial projects. Working with many local restaurants and retail spaces. Now offering restaurant tables, custom barnwood accents and tailoring our design skills to suit the needs of the retail clients.

Expanding our beautiful showroom to the online world, we begin selling Annie Sloan Chalk Paint online. Orders can be shipped nationwide or picked up at our store. Barnwood furniture and wallboard are next!

We moved  to Downtown Kirkwood and Reclaimed and Renewed the amazing old Coulter Feed building.

We are very excited to announce our official expansion into Colorado via “brick and mortar”! Manager Sunnie Bottin has been working with builders and homeowners by appointment since 2016, with the goal to eventually open in a dedicated space. That goal is now realized and we are getting the new space ready for a Grand Opening in early February, 2022!
