“Bay Maples has been our preferred landscaping company for almost a year now. They have installed two landscapes for us. Their team is super responsive and have done a very professional job. The owner has a commitment to environmentally sound landscaping practices. And he is also a true artisan who can bring a critical eye to a project and make the results shine.”

“Angelique Interiors provides great service and does beautiful work. Angelique is very insightful when it comes to appropriate applications and fabrics to be used for window treatments. I highly recommend using Angelique Interiors.”

“Attractive piece, quality finish, great customer service and attention to special orders. Will use this company again and again on my next projects.”

“Any store can sell beautiful, quality furniture. But not all such stores have owners with talented designers, or designers who are not just trying to sell something, but genuinely interested in meeting your unique needs as the ones at Mum's. The owners and designers at Mum's have always been exceedingly helpful and patient in helping me make my furniture decisions--helping me with those decisions with their design expertise, allowing me to take home samples, making special orders and more. Even their delivery crew is incredibly careful and polite. I live in a small town and am so grateful to have the professionalism, expertise and quality furniture choices one might expect in a large city, along with the genuine friendly customer service more associated with a small town. I will always return to Mum's!”

“Belmar Upholstry in San Francisco has been my go to source for over 10 years. I can count on them to produce the highest quality of upholstered goods, all executed perfectly. I can count on these pieces to last. And to be supremely comfortable. When you use a Belmar sofa, I call it the Cadillac of seating. So comfortable! Marcus knows everything there is to know about upholstery and you can count on him to get all the details just right. I can design a very complicated piece and he will know how to make it turn out perfectly! this is the place to go for quality that LASTS!”

“Excellent craftsmanship. I have one of her original pieces which is still gorgeous after 15 years. It has withstood the years and times regarding what’s fashionable ir not.”

“I went to Adam Vorrath because I wanted to get a friend who was turning 70 years old, a very special present to honor the length of our friendship, and her spectacular feat of becoming 70 years old, and being, well, for lack of a better word, spectacular. That is my friend Elsa. She has style, grace, panache, and a terrific sense of art and creation. And lucky me, I knew a spectacular artist named Adam Vorrath, an adventurer in wood in all of its possible forms and fabrications, one of the spectacular artists who graduated from the College of the Redwoods Advanced Woodworking program. So I asked him to do this. What happened was beyond what I realized would happen. From the simple request for a special table came an entire experience of sharing in the creation of a special object that spoke to the person it was made for. Adam and Elsa met at her house, and had a sit down chat, talking to each other, and talking about what Elsa liked. Adam saw the art that she has collected slowly over the years, from her native Denmark to New York, to San Francisco, and now Sausalito, and the two got to know each other, so that when Adam came away from the place where the table would reside, he had more than just a sense of the space, he had a sense of the person he was making the table for. Because of this, Elsa has a table that she tells me makes her smile every time she walks in her living room. She notices all of its details, the choices made by the artist and recalls their discussions and sees herself in what was made for her. It is this last thing that makes me say that one of the most wonderful and lasting and truly special thing that you can do for another person is to bring them into the process of the making of furniture as art as we did here. Because now whenever I am at Elsa’s house visiting an incredible sense of glee overcomes me seeing the table and knowing how much it has been loved and is loved, from start to present day and every day.”

“Karen's new showroom in the SFDC is beautiful! Check it out... Suite 305. Contemporary, chic, high-quality, and well-priced furnishings. Great style!”

“I recently purchased a 8ft table with 6 classic teak chairs and cushions, and all I can say is wow! With great help from Harry and Tom, they made my purchase that much more comfortable. They knew exactly what I wanted and gave me an excellent price through their Labor Day Sale. I am greatly satisfied with my purchase, and I would definitely shop here again. But also to add on, their showroom is absolutely amazing, great variety of teak tables and furniture. I definitely recommend to all those looking for sturdy wonderful outdoor furniture!”

“In these fraught times when little in the world seems right, I look at the madrone and walnut tables, and counter stools, designed and built by Joey, and think, “These are beautiful works of art that we get to use everyday. How lucky are we to have found Joey!” He created these custom pieces in a matter of weeks, (way faster than we expected), after we visited his workshop to pick the slab of locally sourced madrone. He even told us the spot on Hwy 17 in the Santa Cruz Mtns where the tree once grew. The landowner needed to remove a leaning madrone that had become unstable and called Joey to salvage the wood. After bringing home our two live-edge tables, we decided to ask Joey to build two counter stools in the same madrone and walnut theme. His shop was busier at that time, but he still delivered the finished stools within 8 weeks! I see something awesome in each piece everyday, as the angle of sunlight illuminates a feature in the live edge or polished surfaces of the madrone. Joey had an excellent eye for designing our pieces after listening to what we needed. He clearly takes pride in producing heirloom quality, sustainably sourced, furniture, with beautiful joinery and finished with low VOC products. We are so grateful for Joey’s artistry.”
