Chickadee Cottage

Specialties

Handcrafted Furniture from Early American Influences. We also make custom signs and sell humorous signs ready made. We also have home accents and hand painted items. Our furniture is made from local woods here in the finger lakes and made right here.

History

Established in 2006.

We started as a part time weekend business here in Seneca Lake Wine Country. Then in 2012 I retired from my other business and in 2013 opened here full time. What I did as a hobby now fills my days as I make furniture every day. Some are for sale daily and others I make custom to fit odd dimensions or requirements to a specific home. Also a customer may want a different color or wood. Most of our designs were original to American homes from the 1600’s to the 1800’s. We also sell candles and home accents.

Business Owner

Have been in Advertising, Printing, and sign business for over 35 years. During that time have built homes and businesses and restored same. Started learning the woodworking business from German Grandfather at 12 years of age and building furniture as a hobby while running my other business. Now I do this every day, eat, sleep, and smell wood!

Custom orders will not take more than a month, unless the wood is hard to get. Most woods are readily available, cut and processed here in the area.
