Custom Projects

Shoe Bench

New Prairie designed and built this custom bench to fit under a row of windows in a mudroom.  The slots underneath provide plenty of space for footwear, and the bench is polyurethaned for easier cleaning.

This picture rail, which wraps around the walls of a breakfast nook, was handcrafted of clear white pine and stained to match the adjacent cabinets.
