New England - Handmade furtniture
Hello, I would like to know if anyone has bought/window shopped for any handmade furniture (bedroom in particular) in the New England area? Last year my wife and I stopped in Waitsfield, VT and were a little shop called the Green Mountain Workshop. They had some of the most beautiful handmade furniture (beds) and we would like to visit similar workshops this year before we decide on a bed(s) for our children. Any suggestions for handmade bedroom furniture would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Since no one else has replied I might be of a little help. Last summer there was a beautiful handmade furniture store (all made to order) on Nantucket. I can't remember the name, but it was on the main street near the wharf and it was upstairs- maybe someone else can remember what it is called. I can't remember if there was any children's furniture, but I think they would make anything that you wanted.

Try www.custommade.com . I collect contemporary turned wood, and occasionally run across the furniture guys at juried craft shows. I envy you your search--there're some beautiful things being made out there.

Thank you for all the replies thus far. However, I don't think I was completely clear in my origianl post. I am looking for little shops (not corporate). I know this might be a stretch, but I thought I would throw it out there again. We would really like to find an independent furniture maker who has a workshop where we could go and look at his pieces.
Thanks again for all the help so far!

I know that you're looking for New England but for some really nice handmade furniture I can recommend the Amish around Lancaster PA and there's another settlement near Waldorf Md (outside DC). They ake beautiful furniture to your specifications and they're actually not at high prices.
