Last summer the Moorestown Sun ran an MBA Member Spotlight on Townehaus. Seeing our story printed in the local paper felt both surprising and deeply grounding.
The piece, titled “Townehaus: A Place to Call Home,” captured something we try to live every day: that a furniture business can be more than a showroom. It can be a place where quality, relationships, and a sense of home still matter.
Carrie and I opened Townehaus in 2023 after years of designing and manufacturing for other people. We wanted to put down professional roots in the town where we were raising our girls and to offer something we believed was missing—solid wood, American-made furniture and thoughtful design services delivered with real care.
The Sun article touched on several pieces of that story:
- The showroom tucked behind Moorestown Hardware in a historic building
- Carrie’s background in jewelry design and quality control at Lagos and David Yurman
- My years designing spaces across the region and creating collections that ended up in hundreds of stores
- Our decision to work with Amish factories in Ohio and Indiana so we could keep production quality high
- The simple belief that furniture should be built to last
One line in particular still lands for me:
“We believe wholeheartedly in quality pieces that are built to last.”
That has been the through-line from the beginning. The world does not need more disposable furniture. It needs pieces that can be lived with, passed down, and still feel right decades later.
The article also noted our work with clients that range from local homeowners to designers across the country, and even a few projects that surprised us—custom work for the Biltmore and pieces that have traveled as far as Paris and Dubai. It mentioned the Adirondack chairs we donated (and helped sponsor) for the Perkins Center for the Arts lawn. Those details still feel true. Community matters to us. Moorestown is not just where our business happens to be; it is home.
A year later, a few things have continued to evolve. We keep refining the collections, adding new pieces, and updating the showroom so people can see and touch what we make. We still work strictly by appointment because real design takes real time. And we still host Open Haus days when the space is open for anyone who wants to walk through without an appointment.
What has not changed is the core reason we do this. Carrie and I complement each other in the work. We rely on each other. And we still get quiet satisfaction from watching a room transform from the first conversation to the day the last piece is delivered and the client can finally settle in.
If you have not yet visited the showroom, we would love to show you around. The furniture is meant to be experienced in person—the weight of the wood, the grain, the way a piece sits in a real room.
You can book a private appointment anytime, or watch for the next Open Haus dates on our site and social channels.
Thank you to the Moorestown Business Association and the Moorestown Sun for the kind coverage. It was an honor to be featured in the paper that so many of our neighbors read.
We are still here, still building, and still trying to make work that feels like it belongs in a real home.
