Shop Small with these Women Owned Businesses

It's that time of year again, when we're all looking to support the small businesses our communities hold dear. Purchasing goods and services from the pillars of your favorite neighborhood is the best way to show your support.

Below you'll find a list of 15 Women Owned Small Businesses. If you shop online this holiday season, don't forget these incredibly hard working folks.

1.) Messner Bee Farm

Rachael Messner of Messner Bee Farm in Kansas City spun her hobby into a flourishing business. Her operations began as a 900 square foot urban farm. Over years of never giving up despite what different seasons showered upon her, Rachael and her family now live on a full-fledged bee farm. You can even stop by for a tour if you'd like to know more about where your honey comes from.

“Honeybees pollinate over one-third of all the fruits and vegetables we eat. Of course they also make honey! The best way people can help bees is by minimizing their use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, and supporting other organizations that do the same. Buy local honey, support your local beekeeper.” –Rachael Messner

2.) Woodward Throwbacks

Bo Shepherd and her partner Kyle started Woodward Throwbacks in 2013 as a means to repurpose much of the discarded lumber and abandoned antiques that plagued Detroit's streets. Their shop has moved from location to location, each time scaling up and offering even more goods and services.

I started re-purposing found wood back in college but it became a serious hobby once I met Kyle. We used to bike around the city exploring different neighborhoods and during our excursions we noticed an abundance of wood from illegal dumping sites. We combined our love for the city and the idea that taking materials found in the street would also help clean our neighborhoods." -Bo Shepherd

Through their website you can shop salvaged doors, custom made and reclaimed furniture, and handmade goods. Read more about Bo's story here.

3.) Seattle Urban Farm Co.

Hilary Dahl is co-owner of Seattle Urban Farm Co. and host of the Encyclopedia Botanica podcast. The podcasts are quick lessons in farming, each one is easy to access—you can listen to them online and read the highlights.

Seattle Urban Farm Co. offers many services, and they differ from customer to customer. Their knowledgeable team can plan, build, and maintain the urban farm you always wanted but never thought you could personally manage—perfect for those of us who may not have a green thumb, but love the idea of homegrown tomatoes.

If you are an aspiring farmer or gardener, browse the different webinars Seattle Urban Farm Co has to offer on their website, ranging from soil health to harvesting techniques. These online lessons are a great gift (for yourself or loved ones).

The wood she harvests and brings back to her shop is ancient, packed tightly over years and years.

Our long term goals are to uphold that initial vision and to see it bloom into a more sustainable and profitable branch of the family business.

Shop Live Edge's offerings here. Read more about the family business here.

15.) Five Marys Farms

A few years ago, Mary and her husband Brian were high-powered Silicon Valley lawyers/entrepreneurs who traded it all away to live the Carhartt way of life. Armed with a strong work ethic and the fearlessness to ask lots of questions, the couple and their four daughters who all share the first name of Mary – but who go by their middle name to keep things “simple” – have proudly become a fully-functioning ranch that sells its meats all over the country.

“I am so proud of the life we get to give our girls living and working together on the ranch,” Mary beams when talking about being the mother of four young farm girls. “I don’t think I gave my girls enough credit before we moved here,” she continues, “I made their lunches and filled their water bottles and did all of their laundry, not really expecting them to do too much. By necessity, when we moved to the ranch the girls had to step up to the plate and start helping more, and they are so much more capable because of it.”

Shop Five Mary's here. Read more about this amazing family here.

13 Of The Best Bedside Tables!

Interiors

Lauren Li

The Tuck Bedside table from Jardan. Photo – courtesy of Jardan.

Though isolation might be starting to really test us now, if you’re lucky enough to be able to work from home it’s sheer bliss to wake up without an alarm, make a cup of tea (or even better; have one brought to you) and linger in your cosy warm bed just a little longer in the morning with a bunch of magazines. Or let’s be real… an Insta scroll!

But with all this additional time spent at home, you may also be looking around and thinking that your bedroom could do with a spruce up. You’d love a neat spot for all those mags, books and cups of tea because the last thing you want to see is clutter on your bedside table before you go to sleep at night. A bedside table makeover is a brilliant place to start. Here are a few tips to find your perfect bedside solution.

STORAGE

There are a few questions you need to ask yourself when searching for your perfect bedside table; how much storage do you need? Do you just need a surface to charge your phone and that’s about it? Or do you need your bedside table top to fit ten books, a lamp, jewellery, glass of water, plant, glasses, picture frame, hand cream and a cup of tea? Do you want a drawer, or even a few drawers?

A bedside table with one drawer seems to suit most – there is ample storage, but still a lightness to this sort of design.

SHAPE

Finding a bedside table that is the right height alongside the bed AND that fits into the space is harder than it seems. A small bedside table next to a high bed can look out of scale and it’s also impractical to use. The top of the bedside table should be around the same height of the top of the mattress, give or take 15cm. Could your bedside table be rectangular, round, or maybe even oval? A round shape is wonderfully soft and gives some breathing space around the bed.

STYLE

Sometimes when we’re looking for a bedside table, we should actually be looking for a side table. If you don’t need a drawer then a side table will suit you perfectly, and can allow for a more expressive piece. It could be a sculptural side table, something rustic or an elegant marble table. You can go for aesthetics rather than pure function.

Also, don’t forget that you don’t need to match the bedside tables and lamps on both sides. Mixing it up is a way to bring loads of personality to the room and create visual interest. Even consider a lovely dining chair (with a flat seat) as a bedside table for a super casual look!

One last thing to note…

If you still struggling to find your perfect bedside table… there is a secret weapon out there that allows you to find the perfect height and proportions, in just the right finish – a custom made piece!

There is another world of possibilities that custom made furniture can bring. Consider working with a local cabinet maker to design a set of bedside tables to your specific requirements. It could be integrated into the bedhead with a wall light over. The possibilities are endless! There are SO many great local makers to consider – we could write a whole other story on this! But as a starting point, check out Anthony Kleine of AKWT, Dustin Frische of Softer Studio, Just Adele, Made by Morgen (also listed below), and any of the furniture makers listed here!

Where I Work: Skylar Morgan

Atlanta-based maker Skylar Morgan, who heads up Skylar Morgan Furniture + Design, founded his company in 2002 focusing on handcrafted furniture manufacturing, millwork, and residential and commercial architectural woodwork. His American modern, minimalist-meets-rustic furnishings are designed and built to be used and loved over time. The Montana native and his team elevate handmade dining, living, and bedroom furniture through their impeccable attention to detail, all within their new 44,000-square-foot building located in Atlanta’s West Midtown Design District. For this month’s Where I Work, Skylar takes us through the new showroom, office, and workshop, while sharing more about his work process.

What is your typical work style?

I get most of my work done early in the morning before most people come in. Everything after 9am is fast paced and quick decisions. I constantly jump from one fire drill to the next, which makes for very exciting days.

What’s your studio/work environment like?

Quiet at times, but mostly fast paced with fun jokes and conversations sprinkled in. We are all like family here, so it’s a bit like Thanksgiving morning in the kitchen. Fun, drama, and hard work.

How is your space organized/arranged?

We work in an open office, so we’re all within shouting distance and everyone knows what everyone is doing at all times. (An office would be nice, but it would get boring quick.) Our office is very organized and clean. I work next to large glass doors that enter the wood shop, so I have a good view of the office and into the shop from my desk.

How long have you been in this space? Where did you work before that?

We just moved into our new shop about a year ago, but have stayed within Atlanta’s West Midtown Design District. We are now in a 44,000-square-foot space with room to spread out. Our previous shop was 20,000 square feet, and we were basically on top of each other in the shop and office.

If you could change something about your workspace, what would it be?

It would be nice to maybe have some more antique Turkish rugs in the office and art on the walls, but overall there’s nothing I would change about my workspace. It’s perfect.

Is there an office pet?

No pets in the office yet.

Do you require music in the background? If so, who are some favorites?

We do like to have music in the background, although my personal taste in music is not loved by everyone. I like singer-songwriter, alternative country artists — the sadder the better. We take turns with Pandora to keep it interesting.

How do you record ideas?

Hundreds of Post-it notes — on my screen, desk, work bench, sewing machine, everywhere. I also have a stack of random sketches in a folder behind my desk, with the good ones hung up on my wall so I can think them through more.

Do you have an inspiration board? What’s on it right now?

I do not anymore, but we had one in our old office that was cluttered with magazine clippings and sketches. Instead we now have internal mood boards, which we use for planning and working through upcoming designs and custom projects.

What is your creative process and/or creative workflow like? Does it change every project or do you keep it the same?

It’s generally the same for every project. A concept is created with sketches, and then evolves into CAD renderings over 1-2 weeks. Once everyone is happy, it goes into the shop to be fabricated.

What kind of art/design/objects might you have scattered about the space?

In our office and shop we have a lot of rare or interesting-shaped wood pieces and scraps that I’ve gathered over the years. I also like to collect nice-looking pencils, pens, and markers (many of which I can never bring myself to use) that I keep on my desk, as well as miniature-scale models of some of my favorite furniture pieces I’ve made.

Are there tools and/or machinery in your space?

Most of our furniture is made by hand, but we do have a handful of large wood machinery, and also metal and leather working machines. I love collecting and finding efficient tools and machines of the trade.

What tool(s) do you most enjoy using in the design process?

My favorite tool is my drafting table, which has an old sliding scale and custom diminishing point arms. Sketching out new concepts is the first step in my design process, so my drafting table is where all the magic begins.

Let’s talk about how you’re wired. Tell us about your tech arsenal/devices.

I’m a very low tech man. I’m still learning how to use a computer and hardly ever use my iPhone.

What design software do you use, if any, and for what?

Our designers use Sketch Up Pro, which I have no idea how to use nor have any interest in learning. I will hand sketch all the directions for new concepts I’ve drawn for them to work from.

Doc Chair

Is there a favorite project/piece you’ve worked on?

I have a new favorite piece everyday. I don’t get to physically build as many pieces these days as I used to when we were a smaller operation, but of course I’m partial to the work I did create myself, like the Doc Chair.

Do you feel like you’ve “made it”? What has made you feel like you’ve become successful? At what moment/circumstances? Or what will it take to get there?

I don’t like the idea of considering whether we’ve “made it,” because I feel like it’s too easy to go downhill from there. Obviously, we’re constantly striving to become bigger and better — that’s why I get up early every morning and work long hours at the shop. I have no doubt that we will achieve great success on top of everything we’ve already accomplished (and that hopefully one day I’ll be able to relax), but for now I like the grind.

Tell us about a current project you’re working on. What was the inspiration behind it?

A good friend of mine who happens to be a very well-known architect is designing an amazing pool based on Roman baths, and he commissioned us to create very large entry gates that will lead to the pool. My inspiration was the big heavy wood gates that the gladiators stood behind before entering the coliseum back in ancient Rome. They are almost intimidating, but feature a simple repeating open pattern that provides a welcoming feel. I’m super excited to see those go in.

What’s on your desk right now?

Post-it notes, four old coffee cups, drawings, estimates, easily over a hundred markers, pencils, and pens, as well as interesting new screw and bolt hardware. It’s cluttered, but I know where everything is — in other words, organized chaos.

Do you have anything in your home that you’ve designed/created?

I like to say the cobbler has no shoes. I will make a special piece when Stephanie (my wife and business partner) asks nicely enough, but for the most part it’s left-behind or old furniture that didn’t make the cut over the past few years.

However, I do have a pretty great art collection that I’ve been able to amass through trade with artists and sculptors I’ve met over the years. I also renovated our home when we moved in, and have since built two additions with my background in fabrication. I collaborated with a close friend who also happens to be an architect to keep the original integrity and style of the ‘50s ranch house, while adding more modern additions. The materials we used have really shaped what our home has become — very warm and inviting, but also airy, open, and contemporary.
