Design appointments must be set up during Open House on Saturdays between 1:00 and 4:30, but cannot be arranged during tours. Design appointments can also be made between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm Mondays through Fridays. We are closed all major holidays (see schedule).

Setting up a Design Appointment
What you should bring...
  • An idea of the type of piece you want (chair, table, room divider, etc.)
  • Size of the piece (height/length/width)
  • Size of the room in which the piece will be placed (room plans with dimensions would be ideal)
  • Type of wood you prefer
  • Acceptable price range

Meeting the Designer
Preliminary sketch
If you are able to visit the compound for a face-to-face visit with Mira, she will sketch concepts for your review and approval.

10% of the estimated price is required as a down payment at this time. This will get your job into the schedule.

Selecting the wood
This can also be done remotely if you are unable to visit or you don't live in the Philadelphia area. Based on the concepts, Mira personally selects several choices of wood that complete the design, for final client approval.

Production

  • 50% more of the estimated price is due before proceeding.
  • Wood selection is finalized
  • Shop drawings are approved
  • We will contact you when your piece is in production.

During this stage our woodworkers will go through a detailed process from raw material to finished piece.
