About Rustic and Renewed Decor
Handcrafted. Sustainable. Built for Your Space.
At Rustic & Renewed Decor, every piece is made with purpose—crafted from reclaimed and locally sourced wood, and built to fit your home, your style, and your needs.
Based in Southwestern Ontario, I create rustic and farmhouse-inspired décor and furniture that’s not just beautiful—but functional, durable, and truly one of a kind.
My Story – Handcrafted with Love
Introducing the Maker!
Hey there! I’m Karen—the creative force behind each unique piece you see. My woodworking adventure kicked off when I dove into restoring a stunning 125-year-old heritage home The moment I began working with reclaimed wood, I felt a spark ignite! I discovered the charm in every board and the incredible potential to transform it into something special for your home. , that passion has blossomed into Rustic & Renewed Decor—where each piece is handcrafted with love, one at a time!
Sustainability in Action
Sustainability isn’t a trend here—it’s part of how I build.
-
Reclaimed wood reduces waste and gives old materials new life
-
Local sourcing supports small businesses in the community
-
3% of every sale is donated to Tree Canada to help reforest Ontario
-
Because most pieces are made-to-order, nothing is built just to sit on a shelf. Every item has a purpose, which helps reduce waste and overproduction
Every piece you purchase contributes to something bigger.
Materials That Matter
I’m thrilled to work with reclaimed wood and locally sourced hardwoods from the beautiful Southwestern Ontario! Each board is handpicked and expertly prepared for unmatched stability and longevity. I’m passionate about knowing the origins of my materials, how they’ve been treated, and showcasing their unique character. This isn’t just ordinary lumber—it’s wood with a rich history, crafted to stand the test of time!
Built Around You
Most of what I create is made-to-order or fully custom—because your space isn’t generic, and your furniture shouldn’t be either.
You choose the size, wood, and finish. I take care of the rest.
Along the way, I keep you involved with updates and photos, so you’re not just buying a piece—you’re part of the process.
No two pieces are exactly the same—and that’s the point.
Custom examples:
-
A spice rack built to fit a customer’s exact jar sizes and matched to her kitchen stain.
-
Walnut-and-maple coasters created to complement a previously purchased cutting board. I made two versions until they felt just right, and she decided she wanted both.
I am happy when my creations become part of your home's story!
