I deally the conversation would go something like this:

Friend: I love that table.You: Thanks, it’s one-of-a-kind.Friend: Really?!You: Yeah, I had it custom-made.While the script sounds like a cheesy com-

mercial, it actually reflects a growing and in-creasingly accessible option — one-of-a-kind, custom-made furniture for homeowners look-ing to create their own style.

During a recession, people put off buying new homes or remodeling existing ones. One of the upshots of this trend? Not a lot of new furniture being purchased. Given all of that, the idea of buying a custom piece may be pushed aside as wanton wastefulness.

But custom-made furniture is hardly a mono-lithic behemoth to be dismissed with such fi-nality. Local designers and artists exemplify the incredible range of techniques, styles and functionality that fall under the term of “custom furniture.” And, as designer Carol Lippert put it, for around the price of a designer handbag.

Art teacher from The Netherlands, Nelleke Demmer, is known mostly as an artist and mu-ralist, designing large wall paintings for bath-rooms and children’s bedrooms. Before moving to Los Altos, Demmer began customizing fur-niture by painting chairs, chests and tables.

Her pieces are, in her words, “whimsical” and “playful,” painted in vivid colors with creative

patterns: a tartan cupboard, a harlequin bu-reau, chairs adorned with Dutch children.

“It’s about giving a new life to old furni-ture,” Demmer said. “I take a piece someone might not like and re-imagine it in a way that is personal to both me and the client.”

She strips a piece completely, both of paint and hardware, and then, using stencils, sponges, tape, paints, small tools and what-ever might strike her fancy, she recreates it to reflect the style of the owner, the artist and the item itself.

“Sometimes I make things whimsical be-cause I like that style, but there are pieces that just need to be traditional,” she said.

And if it doesn’t work the first time?“The great thing about paint,” she said, “you

can always paint over it and change the piece completely.”

Brooke Grafstrom, an interior designer in Menlo Park, scours salvage yards and demoli-tion or deconstruction sales for forgotten or neglected treasures.

Stacked in the corner of her garage are a half dozen shimmering blue chair seats.

“A couple of chairs in this set broke; they were throwing them all away,” she said.

So, Grafstrom rescued them, repurposing and refashioning them into bulletin boards for her daughter’s room or into a milk-can stool with a swivel seat for her son.

“My kids are fidgety,” she said. “You have to think of how a piece will be used.”

In the same spirit of repurposing, she’s turn-ing her grandmother’s linen napkins into seat covers for the dining room.

Many of the napkins, for one reason or an-other, can no longer be used for their original purpose, she said. “But I could never get rid of them; they mean too much to me.”

People often have things from their parents or grandparents they can’t bear to part with: a chair, a blanket, a lamp. Grafstrom figures out a new way to use the item in the home that suits a client’s aesthetic style as well as lifestyle.

The process is a bit like a puzzle, taking seemingly disparate objects or styles and combining them to come up with something useful, creative and wholly original.

“People want something that not a million people will have. They want something that reflects their own house and their own his-tory,” she said.

For more than 20 years, Carol Lippert, a

Palo Alto interior designer, has been designing custom furniture for private and commercial clients in the Bay Area.

“Custom furniture is a lot easier than peo-ple think for a designer to build,” she said. “It works really well if you have a house where normal things don’t seem to fit.”

By “fit” Lippert means both physically and contextually. She designed a piece for a client’s 1930s era cottage. The client wanted some-thing that reflected a style contemporary with the home’s construction, Lippert said.

“We wanted it to have the almost French feel of furniture built before World War II that fit the feel of the cottage,” she said. “To get a real piece would have taken a lot of time and been really expensive, but I was able to design something that fit everything the client needs.”

The creation, a cabinet piece with mirrors for the dining room, looks like a vintage piece, fits stylistically and was constructed with the physical space of the room in mind. A true antique, Lippert said, would have had to have been modified.

In an area where organic, local and sustain-able foods continue to grow in popularity, Lippert and Grafstrom have noticed that using recycled and sustainable material is becoming a trend.

“More people are interested in repurposing and salvaging things because of the media em-phasis on ‘green,’” Grafstrom said.

Lippert said her clients appreciate knowing what exactly goes into a piece of furniture.

“We want to make sure the lumber we buy comes from a green source, that the finish isn’t toxic. There are very different standards,” she said.

By custom-designing a piece, she and the client have control down to every micro-level of the process.

The rise of stores such as Ikea has normal-ized the anonymity of furniture. Custom-made furniture is a way to buck that trend. The new dining room table might not be from the 1870s, but it will have an interesting back-story.

Demmer, Grafstrom and Lippert use mate-rials and techniques to different ends. These differences only serve to reinforce the idea of custom furniture as a showcase for individual style and personality.

Interior designer Carol Lippert fashioned a mirrored dining-room cabinet to fit the mood of a 1930s-era cottage.

I n my efforts to educate consum-ers about the positive effects of cumulative green choices, I

occasionally have my own “aha” experience. In a recent interview I was innocently asked, “How can I really know if the choices I make daily are green?” Additionally, “What difference are these choices going to make in the long run, any-way?” Put plainly: “What is the big whup?”

I told the interviewer that all green choices are ultimately relat-ed to our health. Even if we don’t think enough of ourselves to make healthy personal choices, we care enough about the people we love to influence them toward healthy choices. (Ever have a parent who threatened punishment for smoking with a lighted cigarette in hand?) Who of us isn’t interested in our

children and grandchildren having a bright and healthy future on this little planet?

I have be-come extreme-ly aware in this

economy of what happens to our personal and community health when the negative effects of our unsustainable choices come home to roost. Fast food for breakfast, lunch and dinner with produce from God-knows-where has super-sized too many of us and certainly affected our personal health nega-tively. Do any of us ever wonder if fast-food chains buy lettuce or beef locally? Could this seemingly insignificant fast-food choice af-fect our local farmers’ economic

conditions? What are the long-term consequences for our community when local farmers cannot earn a living wage?

My uncle in North Carolina was a farmer all his life, just like his father. Uncle Buddy also had a “day job” for decades working at the paper mill, which was over an hour’s drive from his home. He did that because running a small farm on the rural land he owned was not enough to financially support his family. His primary crop was tobacco, because it had the highest dollar value return.

A devout Southern Baptist, Un-cle Buddy did not smoke or believe in smoking (plus he was cured of his own urge to smoke when my grandfather caught him smok-ing as a young boy and made him keep smoking until he got sick). He wrestled with the ethical dilemma of raising an unhealthy product in order to be able to provide for his family all of his farming life.

Besides being harmful to in-hale, tobacco also depletes the soil.

Somehow we have ended up with a great demand for a product that harms the health of those who use it and harms the soil where it has been grown. How did we get trapped in this unsustainable, unhealthy habit and keep it going for almost 400 years? Are we going to blame Sir Walter Raleigh who took it from the Native Americans and sold it to the British? Are we going to blame the Native American for growing it? Or will we step up to the plate and be accountable for our own seemingly unconscious decisions and reevalu-ate our daily choices?

We are now painfully aware of the negative effects of unsustainable choices that have become habits for ourselves and those we love. We are witnessing how interconnected our personal choices for food or other products grown in the soil are and the effects those decisions have on us and our community.

If we demanded locally, organi-cally grown food from the super-markets that’s what would be avail-able in stores. Our personal health

would be positively impacted as would local farmers’ economic conditions. If we stopped buying tobacco today, that crop would no longer be grown and depleting our soils. These two examples demon-strate that our personal health is af-fected when we make simple daily decisions. Our community’s health is affected by our support of local suppliers. And our planet’s health is affected by whether or not we treat our finite amount of soil in an en-vironmentally healthy, sustainable way.

The big green “whup” is that every choice we make has an im-pact on ourselves, our community and the Earth. I, for one, am going to be more conscious of my daily choices. I don’t want people asking in 2050, “What in the world were our ancestors thinking?”
