Tree to Table
Tree to Table is a locally started business in St Catharines by two childhood friends native to the Niagara Peninsula who loved spending time in the forests in the area. While clearing damage from a windstorm, they found an overturned large black walnut tree which they were inspired to upcycle and create gorgeous furniture with. Their goal is to produce premium live-edge furniture from salvaged hardwood, and pay homage to the trees that produced them. They’re most well known for their rustic tables, and they produce other pieces custom for their clients.
When you’ve bought your new home, the first thing you’re probably going to want to do is redecorate the place and make it your own. Support this amazing region and its local small businesses by starting your redecorating in their stores. Instead of finding your furniture and decorative pieces at Ikea or other big home stores, find something more unique and make your house truly your own, all while supporting local businesses in the area.
