Chris Owens (@oxdesignco) is a master carpenter that has put together many amazing custom furniture pieces, facades and finishes for homes across Southeast Louisiana. Here he's pictured with parts for the custom beds he built for The Syd.

The Satsuma House

This home is one of our favorites built to accommodate ten guests. Chris graced us with his talents and constructed beds with custom paint and slotted headboards and an 8-seater round outdoor table.

The Syd

The Syd is our biggest project to date that Chris and John have taken on for us. They built almost all of the furniture including all the amazing custom beds with under storage for luggage, the wall hooks, huge 15+ seater conference style dining tables, and custom  bunk beds, that have been perfect for our bigger parties. Not to mention the unique, behind-the-couch bar tops for extra seating. All the wood in this project came from local lumber species, like 'sinker' Cypress (cypress debris fished out from rivers or swamps and repurposed), and Pecan.

The Canopy

Here, Chris build the beds, kitchen island, floating desks and an amazing statement dining table. We have been loving the texture these half fluted round dowels have. Most of the wood in this house is White Oak which is known for it's sturdiness and good value. The wood was then stained with a mahogany finish to match the dining table top.

The Zen House

For our Zen House, Chris did a more minimal design for the beds, headboards, and ledge desks. We even had Chris put together the trapezoidal wood panel for the art in the living room painted by artist @swietstuff.  His most notable piece in this house, however, has to be the dining table that dons a gorgeous live edge slab of oak for it's top.

The Afro Future

In collaboration with the New Orleans African American Museum, Chris lent us his skill to create these stunning mahogany-stained white oak beds, custom frames for our curated pieces, floating desks and this sleek simple dining table.

At The Waterline

Sam's favorite beds are the ones Chris built at this house. They're not just pretty but are the sturdiest beds he's ever built (maybe!). He also made a great indoor dining table and an equally great outdoor dining table, both stained a beautiful black walnut.
