Custom Colonial-Style Cabinetry & Kitchens
Handcrafted by Period Designs Company in Our Ohio Workshop
At Period Designs Company, we specialize in creating custom colonial-style cabinetry and colonial kitchens tailored to your home’s unique needs and architectural features. Each piece is meticulously designed and handcrafted to reflect the historic character of early America, while seamlessly blending with modern functionality.
Our custom kitchens are built using handcrafted techniques and period-specific cabinet profiles. We apply hand-applied finishes and use traditional materials to preserve the charm of the past, while incorporating modern durability and functionality.
“Our cabinetry is more than furniture—it’s a continuation of American design history.”
Reproduction Furniture Inspired by Early America
Our primitive and early American reproduction furniture is inspired by original pieces from the 1600s through 1800s. Built using historically accurate finishes, joinery methods, and solid wood construction, each item we create is designed to become a true heirloom.
Whether you're seeking a custom piece for a heritage property or a historically inspired design for a new home, we build furniture that captures the warmth, charm, and authenticity of the past.
