A workshop of people crafting new furniture, recreating old furniture and sharing ideas.

how

We make furniture, but our way is a little different.

1. Start with a blank sheet of paper

we talk, learn what you are thinking and craft bespoke, site specific, made to order, not necessarily costly furniture.
talking, pictures, sketches, renderings, approval drawings, delivery.

2. Start with our designs 

always available in any size,
many materials and any finish. 

we want to make them like you
want and if you don't know, we can say.  Please ask.

3. Start with the furniture you have 

family heirloom is a state of mind.  new use, new color, new details brings new life.  Let us help rework, refinish, recreate.

Sometimes an old coffee table is just old, but maybe new legs and a new use.  As a game table you are as young as your feel

After 30 years in the garage holding garden tools, this credenza made it to the big house.  It does not have fancy drawer suspension, but it was made by our client's dad's best friend in high school and will last another 30 years. It was not blue.

Blanca WorkshoP is Paul Gordon and Baltazar Garcia.

 

We met in 1991, worked together for 30 years and learned mucho about furniture and people. In 2021, as Blanca WorkshoP, we are using our experience to make furniture in our slightly different way.  We want to make furniture, but let's talk and have fun. Talking can solve a problem and help you get value. Pictures are important for shopping, ideas, establishing hopes, but people do the work.  We can help you get long-lasting, thoughtful furniture. Give us a call. Thanks.

Thinking Paul?  a journal

 

Thinking Paul or Paul thinking are rhetorical questions for the people who know me.  Little thinking but some writing and picture taking. Maybe a few recipes. What good is being the owner if you can't do what you want?  I probably have very little to say but will love writing it down and photographing it. This is chance to appreciate good things like furniture, sports, buildings, food, places to take a walk and if my luck holds, have a laugh. I wish everyone a good laugh. Starting a company provides many opportunities to laugh. Who knew.

we love to talk

say howdy

Thanks. It is hard to talk to a stranger.
