I specialize in beautifully refinished, one-of-a-kind furniture pieces designed to bring character and elevated style into your home.
Available offerings include:
Available Now: Finished pieces that are ready for their new home.
Custom Inventory: Unfinished or in-progress pieces available for purchase and refinishing through FBF. These pieces may offer opportunities for finish, hardware, or design selections.
I offer refinished and customizable furniture pieces from my curated inventory. At this time, I do not accept commission projects or refinish furniture that is provided by clients.
This allows me to maintain consistent quality, design standards, and timelines across all projects.

For pieces listed as Available Now, simply select the piece you’d like to purchase and add it to your cart.
For Custom Inventory or questions about a particular piece, visit Get in Touch and include as much detail as possible about what you’re looking for.
For local purchase, you’ll be able to select the appropriate delivery or pickup option. U.S. shipping options are available on eligible pieces.

Custom pieces begin with a base price, which includes all preparation work and paint materials. Optional add-ons, such as custom-built bases, drawer liners, and updated hardware, are priced separately based on selection.
Once the customization details are finalized, customers receive an invoice with a full price breakdown and payment instructions. The full project total is due in advance before work begins.
Once payment has been received, the project is scheduled according to Furniture by Fara’s current availability.
Shipping for custom projects is handled separately from the project price. A shipping estimate may be provided when possible; however, the final shipping cost is determined when the project is complete since the final dimensions, weight, destination and third-party carrier rates may affect the cost. Any remaining shipping balance will be invoiced separately before the piece ships.

Delivery is available for local customers within 50 miles of downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Your piece is delivered locally by Furniture by Fara and/or an arranged local delivery partner. Local delivery is a flat $100 fee and is paid at checkout.
Delivery is typically scheduled after your purchase is confirmed, and you’ll receive the delivery details and estimated time window in advance.
Shipping is available within the United States only for customers outside the local delivery area. Pieces are shipped through a third-party freight carrier.
For eligible pieces, customers choosing shipping will add the U.S. Shipping Allowance to their cart at checkout. After purchase, Furniture by Fara will arrange the carrier and confirm the final shipping cost.
Customers will receive an email with next steps and shipping or delivery details once arrangements are ready to be completed.
Please note: Items cannot be held while customers are deciding on shipping arrangements. Availability is not guaranteed until purchase is completed.

Once your order is received, Furniture by Fara will begin arranging third-party freight shipping for your piece.
You’ll receive email updates as shipping arrangements are made, including the carrier information, estimated pickup/delivery timeline and final shipping cost.
Because freight rates and carrier availability vary by destination and timing, shipping is not considered finalized until a carrier and final rate have been confirmed.
If the final shipping cost is less than the shipping allowance paid at checkout, the difference will be refunded to you. If the final shipping cost exceeds the allowance, the remaining balance will be invoiced separately and must be paid before the piece ships.
-
No. If you are within the local delivery area and select Local Delivery - $100 at checkout, you do not need to add the U.S. Shipping Allowance to your cart.
If you are outside the local delivery area and need your piece shipped, select Shipping - Add Shipping Allowance to checkout and add the applicable shipping allowance to your order.
If you’re picking up your piece or arranging local delivery within 50 miles of downtown St. Louis, you do not need to add the Local Delivery or Shipping Allowance to your cart.
-
Timelines vary based on the scope of the project, customization details, and current workload. Estimated timelines are discussed and confirmed before work begins.
While every effort is made to complete projects within the agreed timeframe, custom work requires flexibility to ensure quality and proper curing between steps. Customers will be notified of any significant updates throughout the process.
-
Design details- including color, finish, hardware, and add-ons- are finalized before work begins.
Once work has started, changes may not be possible and may result in additional costs or delays. Custom pieces are considered final once work begins.
If you have any questions about available design options, please reach out before purchasing or before work begins.
-
Available Now Pieces may be canceled prior to pickup, delivery, or shipment being scheduled. In the event of a cancellation, a $150 non-refundable processing fee will be retained. Once delivery or shipping arrangements have been made, this sale is considered final.
All Custom Pieces are considered final sale due to the customized nature of each project. Full payment is required prior to work beginning. In the event of a cancellation request before work has started, a $150 non-refundable processing fee will apply. Once work has begun, cancellations and refunds are not accepted.
Due to the size and nature of furniture, returns are not accepted once an item has left our possession. Customers are encouraged to review all photos, descriptions, and dimensions carefully before purchasing.
Minor variations and character marks are part of vintage and refinished furniture and are not considered defects.
