We delivered this custom made stereo cabinet to a satisfied client. Built specifically for her music components and color matched to furniture in the room, this piece turned out to be just what the customer ordered. Let us know if you need anything made for your home. We'd love to work with you to turn an idea into reality.

For your coastal themed home, a repurposed cedar bench is now for sale at Calabash Photography Art and Curios. The bench is constructed from a vintage headboard restored to its original cedar finish, and used the slats from that cedar bed as the seat. The remainder of the bench was constructed using cedar salvaged from various locations, while the hand carved wooden sand dollar adds that special coastal touch. This bench would be a nice addition to an entryway, with the shelf underneath used to keep sandy flip flops out of the main part of the house.

We just added another one of a kind WWII Hatch Cover counter height shelf to Calabash Photography Art and Curios. The top is made from a portion of a salvaged WWII Liberty Ship Hatch Cover and was finished to highlight some of the original paint as well as the unique grain of the wood. The legs and bottom shelf are made from wood salvaged from other locations. These hatch covers are all unique in coloration and the "scars of age" they have. Stop in to see this unique piece of history as well as other items we have for sale there.

We just delivered this beautiful coffee and end table set to Calabash Photography Art and Curios. The set was constructed from a single slab of Siberian Elm that was harvested and milled in northern Maryland. The slab is live edged, with several areas of bark remaining. That, and the uniquely beautiful grain makes these tables one of a kind. Come in to Calabash Photography Art and Curios to see these tables and other unique furniture and art for your home.
