Could I get details on type of wood and finish? A: Thank you! This was a job we completed a few years ago. Thinking that it was alder wood. The finish created by us started with staining of the wood and followed by a light distressing and finished by an antique patina over the corners and moldings. Two coats of clear varnish satin. **Q: Bar stools** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me who makes these? Thank you A: Hi and thank you for your question. We are the decorative finishers on the job. Casey Roy of Casey Roy Design in San Antonio will be able to answer this question. **Q: Who makes the coffee table in this picture?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: We are the decorative artists. Casey Roy Design was the designer. I believe she would know. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
