We’ve already posted some info on Hopewell New Jersey’s Green Market Day held on April 18, 2009 at the Hopewell Train Staion. Attached to this blog are a few of the photos taken of the event by Photographer Nina Brenner. (www.ninabphoto.com) Artisans of the Valley was on display showing our custom commissions and restoration services. We’re actively promoting furniture restoration as an alternative to purchasing new pieces. Restoring requires far less resources than a new piece, and preserves heirlooms for generations to come. This all prevents viable furniture from ending up in landfills.

When commissions are the way to go – we provide options for sustainable lumber sources and create heirloom quality furniture that will likely never see a landfill! Our heirlom quality shellac and tung oil finishes finishes are renewable … in other words you do not have to strip and refinish to restore them!

Check out Artisans Green Notes for more information on restoration and commissions using sustainable lumber.
