Uma & Willie

Uma and Willie keep it real in the shop. When it’s too hot in the summer and it’s time to swim down in the spring, they let us know. When we’ve been working too long without a walk around the farm for some squirrel chasing, they let us know. When there is a mouse in the bag of M&M’s… they do not let us know. Guess they think they’re funny.

The Shop

The Shop is a 2700 sq ft renovated tractor barn located in Frederick County, Virginia. Back when we started the renovations in 2017, there were piles of junk everywhere. Since then, we have slowly and consistently bolstered our manufacturing capabilities, including: a full wood shop, full metal shop, finishing spray booth and office. We want to provide our customers with the highest quality products without having to search far and wide.

“What could be a better combination than artist and craftsman/carpenter? I can’t think of anything. Blue Door has done several projects for our historic home, but most recently the team built interior shutters for our main bedroom. The shutters are lovely, the craftsmanship superior, and the project was completed on time and on budget. My recommendation: hire these people.” - Peggy M., Winchester, VA

 

"Blue Door has single-handedly made my house what it is today: comfortable and beautiful. From the steps on my porch, to the elegant cherry bed frame, to the ‘borrow-a-book’ library stand. Best custom builders in the area. Highly recommend them!" - Calvin S., Pine Grove, VA

 

"We hired the Blue Door design company to take our raw walnut trees we had taken down in our yard and make several pieces of furniture for our children for Christmas presents. They made us a large dining table and bench to match, and some shelving to use as cabinets for dishes. All turned out gorgeous. We were on a time crunch because we wanted a lot of items before Christmas and they did not disappoint. They were easy to work with even though I changed my mind on design a couple of times. Soon they will be building more items for an addition being added. I would highly recommend Robert and Co. (Blue Door) for any custom built pieces you might need or want. Quality work and fair prices." - Kim M., Winchester, VA
