English Country Design was established in 1986 by John Varney, an English Craftsman and Designer with patience and an eye for detail.

In the well equipped workshop everything from a coffee table to a large kitchen job flows with ease and confidence. A separate building for finishing offers a dust free environment for a variety of eco-friendly finishes.

The showroom is a perfect designing space loaded with samples of wood, hardware, moulding, colors, etc. and lots of pictures to aid in the designing process.

In the showroom you can also purchase:

  • Fiddes furniture wax
  • Rocky Mountain Hardware
  • Sun Mountain Doors
  • Michigan Maple Butcher Block tops
  • Spekva Scandinavian counter tops
  • Raymond Enkeboll carvings
  • Shaw farm house sinks
  • Rohl taps and faucets
 

Our philosophy is simple…. “We Care”

Happy customers tell friends and neighbors and come back again and we in turn get to work in a happy environment doing what we love.
