They no longer have a workshop and showroom. They do, however, have an eBay store. Check it out at http://www.ebay.com/str/pinnaclepickers. Lots of unique, antique and vintage items collected over the 46 years in business shopping the homesteads and factories of New England. They have everything from old furniture hardware, hand tools, books, maps and so much more. Listing daily! PREVIOUS BUSINESS OF 46 YEARS: Stephen C. Staples produced eclectic, unique, timeless, environmentally-friendly furniture art crafted from 200 and 300 year-old reclaimed wood, metal and antique fragments. Owner with his wife Christine, master craftsman and furniture designer, Stephen spent over four decades studying his medium, refining and perfecting his finishes and mastering his craft. He produced some of the most unique and sought-after creative art furniture in the country. Staples found inspiration in old growth lumber that he turned into handcrafted tables, cupboards, kitchen islands, and custom-design pieces. Staples' reclaimed wood originated from razed barns, mills and homes primarily throughout New England. Virgin growth lumber is the finest wood available to craftsmen and artisans--the wood is dense, heavy, strong and beautifully patinaed. Staples discovered he could breathe new life into each magnificent reclaimed board through its transformation into his unique creative art furniture. The wood that Staples reclaimed offered not only incomparable beauty, but each board held its own story having survived the rigors of time. The heirloom quality furniture that Staples created adds a lasting legacy to this historic wood. Each of his creations was paper labeled, signed and dated and then he added his unique signet mark on the surface, much like an artist signs his/her canvas. ### Services Provided - RETIRED ### Typical Job Cost Varies on what we make. ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Creative Art Furniture | | Address | 20 John WIlliams Street, Attleboro, Massachusetts 02703, United States | | Phone | (508) 222-7200 | | Website | http://www.creativeartfurniture.com | | License Number | 043451251 | | Followers on Houzz | 23 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/neartisangallery/ - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/CArtFurniture - Blog — https://www.creativeartfurniture.com ## Offers Spring Special - 20% off purchase _Mention Houzz_ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Creative Art Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/furniture-and-accessories/creative-art-furniture-pfvwus-pf~377885068) - **Website:** http://www.creativeartfurniture.com - **Phone:** (508) 222-7200 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2015–2017), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 16 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Rebecca Skinner, Dec. 2016** > I love my farm table and bench made by Creative Art Furniture.

I immediately knew I had to visit Creative Art Furniture. Christine and Steve were wonderful to deal with, had so many creative ideas, delivered top quality furnishings on time and on budget!

I'm sure you've been very busy getting your new business off the ground. We wish you great success! Can't wait to work with you again to create your next project. **★★★★★ — Jason Chalmers, Nov. 2016** > Steve and Chris at Creative Art Furniture are fantastic people to work with. Chris is great on the front end and Steve is a wizard with all things wood. We bought a beautiful farmhouse table about 5 years ago and we get cool reactions from visitors to our home to this day. The materials and work on of the highest quality. Steve and Chris were also great about helping me refinish the table after it took some abuse from the rough bottoms of our dishware. Steve showed me how to do it myself next time and offered a great tip to sand the bottoms of the dishware to avoid dulling the finish. You can tell that these guys really love what they do. It is great to talk to Steve and hear about his different projects or the places he is getting his reclaimed wood from. I would urge you to visit their showroom. You won't be disappointed and you might just walk out with one of their high quality, custom pieces. **Comment from Creative Art Furniture:** > Hey Jason! Hope you and your family had a very Happy Thanksgiving. We did! Thank you so much for you kind words. It is greatly appreciated. Hope to see you and your family again soon. Chris and Steve Staples **★★★★★ — Paula Yetman, Nov. 2016** > I was trying to recreate a bathroom design I fell in love with on Houzz. I wanted a unique piece to convert into a vanity for a bathroom remodel. I found Creative Art Furniture via the internet. I visited their showroom and fell in love with the artisrty and creativity of their work. Christine and Stephen were so warm and informative I walked away feeling like I made new friends. I don't think I can describe in words the beauty of the works of art Stephen creates and Christine lovingly shares with customers as you hear Stephen creating his masterpieces in his workshop. I purchased 2 unique side tables. One was transformed into a vanity for my guest bathroom and the second is waiting to be for my master bathroom. Stephen and Christine are true artisans who share not only their craft but their lifelong passion for restoring and recreating beautiful furniture which are works of art. I love my newly created bathroom and will know that not only was it beautifully crafted it was made with love. **Comment from Creative Art Furniture:** > Hi Paula > Thank you very much for your kind words. It is greatly appreciated. By the way we loved your heirloom tomatoes and Steve saved the seeds for next year!! Please let us know if we can help you with any future projects.

We have also purchased various pieces from their wonderful showroom. > > Each piece is still in use at our home. We love the quality and the unique look of each. We look forward to doing business with them again! **★★★★★ — Lisa DeCesare, Sept. 2016** > Not only have I purchased furniture but I have also worked with Steve to create something very custom to my needs and vision. He is a great artisan and really listens when you explain what your vision is (even if it is a bit crazy). He can offer up creative solutions and pull from his vast store of reclaimed materials. > > Some of my favorite pieces of Steve's are the ones that my husband and I were part of the design process. > > We have been purchasing their pieces for over 12 years. **★★★★★ — vt14, Sept. 2016** > I didn't realize that I was in the market for reclaimed pieces until I found Chris and Steve Staples of Creative Art Furniture, and then I fell in love. > My first piece was a dining room server made from the most beautiful piece of wood I've ever seen with a live edge, shelf and metal legs. > My second piece was a custom made farm table. Steve helped me pick the wood which was from a 1796 farm house. Chris helped me with dimensions, legs and finish. They're a wonderful team, knowledgeable and patient perfectionists. > It always ends the same way, with Chris telling you how to care for, and what to use so that your piece lives on.

You will enjoy your interaction with them, as they are genuinely nice people. **★★★★★ — Doreen Doherty, Sept. 2016** > 20 years ago I was introduced to the owners of Creative Art Furniture. I had purchased a bowl that had not fit in any cabinet I had. I brought the bowl to Steve and he created my favorite piece of furniture in my home, a cabinet. He is a very talented and honest man. He has since stripped and refinished a table that somehow had the finish removed from it. I would absolutely recommend him and his wife to all. **★★★★★ — glennalem, Sept. 2016** > I have used Creative Art-design to furnish two homes in the past 10 years. His workmanship is superior to any piece of furniture you will find at any big box retail outlet. The best thing about CAD is it is always one of a kind, no one will ever have the same piece. He is so easy to work with. > Glenn ## Selected projects - [In Our Clients' Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-our-clients-home-pj-vj~2006300) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 20 - [Cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cabinets-pj-vj~278099) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 3 - [Coffee Tables](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coffee-tables-pj-vj~264899) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 6 - [Kitchen Islands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-islands-pj-vj~261780) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 6 - [Shelving](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shelving-pj-vj~261143) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 3 - [Dining Tables](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-tables-pj-vj~256967) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 10 - [Hand Turned Bowls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hand-turned-bowls-pj-vj~260175) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 1 - [Stepback Cupboard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stepback-cupboard-pj-vj~269959) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 1 - [Industrial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/industrial-pj-vj~266765) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 2 - [Industrial Gear Console Table](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/industrial-gear-console-table-pj-vj~2478096) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Being in business 43+ years now and salvaging anything old for all these years, of course we have a multitude of wheels, gears, farm implements, etc. etc. We recently figured out how to turn these odd pieces of history into "creative art furniture"! We welded the gears together and added them to an old table base. We then added the rustic, antique pine top. This unique table would be perfect used in a foyer holding a large vase of flowers, sofa table, serving table.

In or around 1904, a Japanese ship came into the US. It apparently picked up a blight which in turn attached all our American chestnut trees on the eastern border and into the mid west. Within 15 years, all our American chestnut trees died. This was a very valuable asset we lost. It was a very hard wood and the trees grew to enormous sizes. Today the only way to acquire American chestnut is by reclaiming it from a previous structure.… - [Ski Cabinet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ski-cabinet-pj-vj~257050) - Location: Attleboro, MA - Photos: 1 - [Wooden Block Art](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wooden-block-art-pj-vj~2483882) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: One day Steve had a bright idea.
