Ralph Garrett, owner of Shoestring Creations, has been designing and building art furniture since 1988. His tables, cabinets, and accent pieces blend a whimsical look with utility. Based on traditional styles, such as Shaker, early Texas, Spanish Colonial, and Country French, they are embellished with his vivid imagination, and transformed into functional works of art. And since each piece is painted and adorned by hand, the variations enhance the one-of-a kind aspect.

Made of Ponderosa pine they include playful illustrations, colorful borders and patterns and non-traditional hardware. Ralph is proud to run an earth friendly company, using water-based products, and minimizing waste.

He is the cousin of furniture maker David Marsh, with whom he apprenticed for 6 years, before starting his own workshop with a team of dedicated artisans.
