Little NeighborWoods | Art You Use Every Day

Why settle for ordinary?

Your home is your sanctuary. You curate your furniture, your art, your colors. Why let a branded, disposable cardboard box ruin the aesthetic?

Little NeighborWoods transforms a mundane necessity into a conversation piece. Made from Zebrawood, Purpleheart, Walnut, and Cherry—it's not just a box holder. It's a statement.

• Smooth, hand-sanded finish

Meet The Maker

A Labor of Love & Legacy

"I started woodworking as a senior, beginning a new chapter in my life at age 60. My late husband was a woodworker, and this craft connects me to him. He taught me to use the table saw, and now, that danger exercises my mental focus like nothing else."

I call my pieces Little NeighborWoods because the different exotic woods—Zebrawood, Purpleheart, Walnut—play off each other like good neighbors. Each box is a puzzle, assembled with patience and gratitude.
