I'm Krista Lance, a Southern Illinois native whose passion for creativity and craftsmanship has blossomed over 35 years, like ivy reaching for sunlight. My journey in custom upholstery and furniture restoration is grounded in the belief that, like nature, true artistry takes root and grows, spreading beauty and strength into every piece. Starting in a small shed, I began with determination and a v

ision as free as the wind and as resilient as ivy clinging to stone. Like ivy, my work is grounded and enduring, while like butterflies, I embrace transformation, bringing fresh life and creativity to each new project. Every piece I touch is infused with these elements-a blend of earth, wind, fire and water, honoring the past while giving new wings to the future. Each restoration project is a labor of love, treated with the same care I'd give to something I'd pass on to my own family, which includes 3 amazing children and 3 wonderful grandchildren. As I continue on this journey, I am committed to learning, growing, and leaving a legacy that is as vibrant and timeless as ivy and transformative as a butterfly's wings. To everyone who has trusted us to make your creative vision come alive in your furniture-Thank You! Your support has been the sunlight that helps us grow. Let's create something together that weaves the spirit of elements, the resilience of ivy, and the beauty of butterflies, turning your heirlooms into treasures that will be cherished for generations.
