L'atelier D'Alfama

I discovered a deep passion for carpentry and design that I knew I had but never explored truly. Love of fashion, interior design and decorating gave birth to beautiful furniture and a small business. My 1st project was to create a headboard for my girlfriend's bed, followed by a night table which I then posted on Facebook. The reaction was instantaneous. People started asking me to create some furniture and other projects for them. I don't have a huge shop and a gazillion of tools, but I have enough space and tools to attack small projects and accomplish them with perfection in a timely fashion. I pay special attention to the planning, details and the finishing aspect of the project; I guess I just like it perfect. 99% of the wood used in my fabrication and creations is salvaged, reclaimed and was sometimes part of another piece of furniture that was taken apart. Being that I only use reclaimed materials, the most challenging part is trying to figure out put everything together with different pieces and still make it look like it was meant to be together. All pieces are handmade and require many hours of work especially the finishing part, but I really enjoy doing this, plus by using reclaimed wood I help the planet and assure a better future for our kids.
