It all started with a table.
A beautifully imperfect table made of reclaimed wood, a thin patchwork design that was full of character and texture.
At the time, we had big dreams but didn’t quite know where to begin. Kevin felt stuck in his sales job. The apparel company Tristen worked with went under when the fashion industry took a dip in the market. We just had our first baby. We knew we needed to make a change.
So about that table...
Kevin is a natural born artist & talented craftsman who made furniture as a hobby for family and friends over the years. Since a young girl Tristen has always been a creative, had a love & eye for all things design + a knack for business. At the time we didn’t have much to our name, a computer, a few basic tools and no clue what the heck we were doing. With a goal and hope in mind, a willingness to work hard and figure it out along the way. Tristen posted a picture of that table on Etsy. We never anticipated what would unfold from just saying “Let’s See How This Goes”. We couldn’t see on that day how we would grow and learn throughout those two years working together out of our garage. We didn’t yet see that one day we would have a team, move into an actual workshop or spend our days able to express our gifts to design and build special pieces, ready to hold all the memories, for other people.
That grainy, imperfect alley photo of a table posted on Etsy would end up being one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
Passion
We create tables, desks, seating and everything in between. Our hearts beat wildly knowing we get to create a space for families to slow down and experience healthy, genuine, intentionally loving relationships. We believe everyone needs a place to go every day and connect face-to-face. A place to fill each other's cups + have their souls fed. The place they are reminded daily of what matters most in life.
Purpose
Through several battles with autoimmune disease, suffering from loss, failures and continual trails our family has learned the impact healthy relationships & healthy food has on our bodies + souls. Through the pain we found purpose in so many ways. Playing a role in educating children on the importance + value of real food is beyond fulfilling. Empowering them to not only make healthy choices physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Giving them the knowledge and power they deserve to live their lives to the fullest.
Mission
We believe the seeds we sow in life strengthen us to bear good fruit. Good fruit always produces a rich harvest. Your support makes this harvest possible and that harvest becomes impact. No good thing comes fast. Slow down and join us in creating life-changing relationships. Let’s grow together. It all starts at The Table.
