This is the website of NR Hiller Design, Inc., a business specializing in period-authentic custom furniture and cabinetry for homes, offices, and other spaces in (or made to look as though they could be in) buildings of the late-19th through mid-20th century. The blog’s name is taken from my book Making Things Work: Tales From A Cabinetmaker’s Life, published in March 2017.
