Riveted Woodworking & Design

Once this area has been scrubbed it must be documented ✨ The area above the stove needs something….asking your opinion in my stories!

Pretty functional 🍋 That’s the goal in every area. Design that gives a big vibe but has to work for our family. Statement wallpaper + pictures from our trip to Greece plus baskets for dog leashes and lockers on the other side for kids shoes, backpacks and sports equipment. Pretty + functional ✨

It’s been a while…let me explain.
The past 8 years of Riveted have been nothing short of a crazy roller coaster ride. Extreme highs and lows - it evolved from vintage furniture, handmade signs to furniture and then built ins. When I think about it I’m super proud of what I was able to accomplish. I’m also super disappointed I’m not where I thought I’d be. But it’s taken a long time to realize that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Over a year ago we started on our own huge renovation of our first floor, especially our kitchen. It’s been a dream of mine for a while and we literally did everything ourselves minus the plumbing, electrical and drywall. Guess what? We’re not done. It’s a process when you’re doing all the work, keeping a business alive and working a very busy full time job (my husband)
I’ve beat myself up about not being done and haven’t shown you guys really anything in a long time because of that. When I was in the dreaming stage of this project, I envisioned the light coming in these windows and an olive tree sitting in this corner. As I slowly start to put the finishing touches on this kitchen, views like this remind me of how far we’ve come. That’s a lot of words to tell you my new vision for Riveted…more of my own home and the projects I do here. There will be many that are budget friendly, there will be some we pay for and I’ll explain why and how much projects like those cost. There will be imperfections and time delays and I will be real with you. There will still be be the occasional client project, built ins and design, which I will be selectively accepting. There will be more life - how we use this kitchen, my baking and garden I’m obsessed with, and how I attempt to keep this house organized.
If you read that entire update, you’re my people. I’ve always appreciated those who have stuck around on this journey and I hope you’ll continue to do so!
So here’s my little olive tree (Ophelia as my daughter named her) and my grandfathers clock my husband had restored for me, the tile I put up myself and my attempt at making my house feel more like a Greek villa 🧿oh and then a picture of real life, always a work in progress

Sundays around here are for getting ready for the week ahead…I spend most of my Sunday in the pantry cooking however if I had this laundry room maybe I wouldn’t mind spending it here instead!
As always, the design focused on the most efficient storage possible while tying in the existing sink and need for folding etc.
Cabinetry finished by Maria Everlasting Charm who again did a flawless job ✨

Hi remember me? Life has been lifing, and I’m still navigating the journey that is the future of Riveted. However! Finally wrapped up this kitchen update, working alongside Carolyn, The Golden Sparrow who brought the vision, the amazing Maria Everlasting Charm and Romano Electric, completely transforming this kitchen to a bright and beautiful space! Grateful once again to patient and kind customers as well. Swipe to see the before - we extended the cabinets to the ceiling, adding molding and a whole new coffee bar. The whole kitchen got a facelift by Maria and new light fixtures, backsplash and hardware make such a huge difference 👏🏼

If you’re considering having your kitchen cabinets refinished I can’t recommend Maria enough! She does a beautiful job and her finish lasts! 🎨

🚨 Now Booking for February/March 2026! 🚨

If you’re thinking about getting your kitchen refinished, now is the time to call! Don’t wait a year and then hit me with the classic, “I should have called you last year!” 😂

Because if I had a dollar for every time someone said that… well, let’s just say I’d be sipping piña coladas on a beach instead of sanding cabinets! 😆

So, let’s get ahead of future-you’s regrets—book now and let’s make your kitchen dreams happen!
