ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. After three decades and with heavy hearts, we announce the pending closing of our store in Sugar Loaf, New York.  We are deeply grateful to our loyal customers who have been a part of founder and talented craftsman Peter von Uchtrup’s journey from a high school student with a vision to creating this cornerstone business in Sugar Loaf.  We will remain open until the last of our inventory sells. The high-quality furniture handcrafted by Peter has sold in upscale stores around the state for three times the amount we have priced our Sugar Loaf inventory.  We encourage you to call or text the number above so that we can unlock the store door for you and give you an opportunity to own one of his coveted creations. Thank you.
2. The Rekindled Farmhouse store in Sugar Loaf will host a personal household items sale for a limited time. Come and browse the outcome of a major closet purge featuring gently used women’s size four clothing, holiday decor, books, home decor, children’s dresses, and more.

INTRODUCING THE REKINDLED FARMHOUSE —

Formerly known as 18th Century Furniture, we are the retail store for 18th Century Builders. To rekindle is defined as to renew, revitalize, revive, and relight. That is precisely what we do with lumber, which then goes into our creations for businesses and homes — revitalizing indoor and outdoor spaces. Our customers tell us that this, in turn, rekindles their spirits. And since the products in our showroom are authentic farmhouse style, we knew we had the perfect name. All public-facing mediums will fall under this division.

The Rekindled Farmhouse

Our showroom in Sugar Loaf, New York, is under new sales management so our founder can be even more focused on designing and building these high-demand products. Right down to the small wooden stars, what you see in the store exists, so minimal waste is incurred with our more extensive jobs.  Come in and see the beauty and durability of our designs. You will understand why we say, “Our creations last for generations.”

The Beauty and Benefits of Reclaimed Lumber

There are countless benefits to your decision to use reclaimed wood. These are just a few.

You:

  • protect the lives of the forest animals who rely on trees for habitation.
  • receive a product that is more durable. Old wood that has been exposed to the elements for longer has already done its expanding and contracting.
  • experience the depth, character, unique shading, and beauty that can only come from aging
  • help prevent slow-composing wood from entering landfills and releasing the gases that have been blamed for global warming.
  • enjoy wider planks from wood that has had a chance to mature

18th Century Builders is more than a supplier. Working with architects and designers, we custom-create each solution to fit the unique needs of our clients.

Answers to FAQs
from Founder and Master Craftsman,
Peter vonUchtrup

Floors, cabinets, ceilings, hand-hewn wood beams for various accent areas, vanities, kitchens, outdoor spaces, mantels, feature walls, decking, built-ins, furniture, and much more. These are just the more popular uses. The beauty of old wood is the depth of character and colors. If you can envision it, our designers will create it.

We work primarily with architects, designers, and builders but we have worked directly with homeowners or commercial property owners as well.

First, we review or discuss the design plans. If we are installing the items we have created, we plan a site visit. After these are complete, we produce a project estimate and contract. A 50% deposit is due upon contract agreement to begin production. The balance is due upon completion. If the project scope exceeds a certain time period, we break the payments into installments.

Yes, of course. While we install approximately 75% of the lumber we sell, we will execute a direct sale if the homeowner or builder wishes to handle the installation. All of our  lumber (weathered barn siding, antique flooring, and both hand hewn and saw cut beams) are sold by the board foot. If you are calculating your own needs, always add 10% for waste.

We encourage our clients to visit the store if possible. It is a showcase not only of our furniture, but our building material as well.

It is located at 58 Wood Road, Sugarloaf, New York 10981
