My name is Doug Tremaine and I am the sole proprietor of a furniture design and restoration business based in York Region, ON.

In 2021 at the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic, I transitioned out of a career that I had invested a lot of time and energy into. Though successful, my growth did little to instill a sense of self accomplishment and over time I grew restless.

The business I have built in the months that followed allowed me to explore a creative channel that my previous career did not accomodate. There is an undeniable sense of fufillment when I am able to breathe new life into one’s cherished possesions. The opportunity to share in the sentimental belongings of others is an experience I find humbling.

Every piece of furniture tells a story. When you restore something you romanticize over it’s details. Every design element in a piece of furniture is purposefully chosen, as every piece of furniture is created under unique conditions. My business allows me to appreciate what others have done before me and to learn from what made them accomplished artisans. To uncover these stories for retelling is something I find beautiful.

I look forward to sharing with you the next chapter in my journey.
