Leigh built these custom pieces for our new home. Two were based on photos I brought her and one was based on her sketches based on conversations.She is METICULOUS. She asks a million questions to find out exactly what is desired. Her knowledge of wood is extensive, as is her experience. My door truly is the jewel of our home. My hutches are perfect and add depth to our new home. Quality takes time- don’t expect her work to come in a flash. It is SO WORTH THE WAIT. Quality and one of a kind. I can’t recommend her enough.
KS designed a gorgeous 13 ft table to fit our custom farmhouse and it has been a treasured part of our family gatherings over the past decade. We have seated 20 plus people with ease around the table and with the bench it seems we can always squeeze in one more! Leigh is a pleasure to work with and she is not only an extraordinary artist but she is also a kind and gracious woman . Thank you Karmal Skillington for creating a beloved heirloom!
We recently purchased a custom dining table from Leigh at Karmal Skillington. She was very easy to work with and the the vision of the custom table was very clear. Our table is absolutely beautiful and the highly skilled craftsmanship is evident! It exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Leigh!
I just purchased my second dining room table from Karmal Skillington and it is magnificent. The wood is rich, thick and beautifully crafted. This will be an heirloom piece for my family. Their workmanship is top notch and I would buy from them again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Karmal Skillimgton!
I was walking through The Factory in Franklin yesterday and ran across Karmel Skillington now located in a booth space straight out of a gorgeous horse barn. I was commenting to my friend that years ago we bought a reclaimed wood dining room table and a black distressed buffet. The owner of the store heard me and remarked that I had good taste. We then struck up a conversation. What was really neat is she remembered me and my husband’s name. Leigh is involved in all purchases that go through the store. She also was genuinely interested in how we were using the pieces. I informed her that both pieces have held up well after 10 plus years of constant use. The buffet serves as a coffee station and storage for all things domestic. We have received many adoring compliments over our dining room table throughout the years. We love both pieces very much! Thank you Leigh.
Thank you to Leigh for our beautiful dining table, bench and buffet. Leigh helped my husband and I design this set over 12 years ago and it is still so beautiful today. We returned to the Nashville area after being gone for 9 years. I phoned Leigh, as the pieces need some attention after all these years. Leigh was as sweet and kind as ever and I am looking forward to seeing them shined up a bit! I highly recommend Leigh and company for their craftsmanship, attention to detail, customer service and stunning products!
Thank you so much Leigh for the beautiful kitchen hutch! I would have never found anything so beautiful or the correct size and color I needed for my Kitchen! It is one of kind, It is perfect and I admire it everyday! You made everything so easy and no detail was overlooked ... great quality!! Thanks again!
I learned about Karmal Skillington from a Country Living magazine article. I contacted them that day and was very pleased with the promptness of the return call. I purchased my flooring last month and could not be more pleased with the quality of the product and the personal service I received from Leigh! I highly recommend them for any of your hardwood flooring needs!!
We had a custom desk built for my husbands home office and got the most amazing result! The process with Leah and her team was easy and the wait was well worth it! We got a beautiful L-shaped desk that fits perfectly in our space. Thank you, Karmal Skillington, for building us what we needed and wanted, but couldnt find anywhere! I would recommend to anyone having a conversation with their team about getting a piece built for your home if you know what you want and want it to be gorgeous!
Leigh knocked it out of the park with our coffee table!! She worked with us to create the perfect piece for our family! It has drawers and a hidden space for blankets. It serves all the chairs in our living room AND my kids use it as a stage for their nightly performances so it has already become a piece my family is making memories with! It is so well built it will last forever AND it is GORGEOUS!!! If you need a custom piece you will LOVE for years and years to come. A piece that you can keep in your family for generations then Karmal Skillington is your place!!
Since the beginning, Leigh has been incredible to work with. She understood our exact vision and made it come true. She kept in consistent communication with us and made the process exciting. The kindness and attention to detail they have shows in their work. Weve never had more beautiful pieces in our place. Its not just furniture, its special craftsmanship that makes our house feel like a home. We started with a custom bed and then went on to order a kitchen table from them, both of which are absolutely beautiful. Honestly cant wait to work on more projects with them. Leigh made us feel like we were working with a close friend or family. Extraordinary people, incredible work!
After her teams great workmanship creating our dream dining room table, we again turned to Karmal Skillington to help us create a custom top for a pair of concrete bases for our outside seating area. Leigh was great about giving us options, and ultimately created a beautiful tabletop from reclaimed wood. We appreciate her attention to detail and great customer service. Thanks, Lisa Petty
I had been searching in stores for a kitchen island for over 2 years...after a few easy emails and phone calls I have a CUSTOM, BEAUTIFUL island that I LOVE!!!! I sent dimensions and pictures and then went over details with Leigh on the phone. Less than a month later my island was delivered! I cant tell you how happy I am! I never had to leave the house! Its BEAUTIFUL!
I loved working with Karmal Skillington - their quality craftsmanship, professionalism and superior customer service cannot be beat! I was very impressed by how easy they were to work with and by their desire to meticulously deliver on my vision. They nailed it! They delivered a gorgeous custom piece that far exceeded my expectations!
Top quality and high end. They do quality work.
We needed a cabinet for a very specific part of our kitchen/thoroughfare. Width restrictions made it very difficult to find something that would work just right. Style and finish were a challenge as well - since this sits visible between two differently styled spaces.Leigh was able to help us focus on some options that would meet our need - and she really nailed it. The cabinet showed up today and fits and looks perfect.Craftsmanship and finish is top notch.
I went into the shop knowing what I didnt want for a new dining table and Leigh was able to use all of my nos to figure out my YES! The Karmal Skillington team made me the perfect table that is amazing quality and will last a lifetime. If you need a custom piece of furniture, Karmal Skillington should be your only option!
Leigh was a jewel. I’m not sure how she does it, but she was able to make my non-eloquent verbiage and turn it into an absolutely beautiful dining table. After reviewing several fuzzy pictures that I sent of our home, she sourced marble for the top of the table that coordinates wonderfully with our decor. The men that delivered the furniture were meticulous about the delivery and very detailed measuring doors for the best entry. If you need furniture Leigh and her crew will exceed your expectations
Leigh was well aware of the stress we went through getting our bathroom vanity from another company made wrong, twice! She made us a beautiful vanity that we love! After months of waiting on the first two vanities she turned around and had this made in record time for us! Thank you Leigh!!! Everyone who sees it says it’s beautiful!!! Highly recommend this high quality work!
I was looking for a unique dining table and sideboard to use in a vaulted, wide-open dining room. Leigh and her crew worked with us to create pieces that were the right size, the right look, and beautifully made. So grateful!!! My grown children, who generally pass on my furniture choices, have already asked to inherit it...
Leigh Skillington designed a custom island for my kitchen in 2013. With all that gorgeous reclaimed wood and hand carving, it has been the focal point of beauty and activity ever since. It has held up beautifully to our constant use!She has also built several other pieces for us, and we treasure each one. The details and quality are always so amazing on everything she and her team do. I highly recommend Leigh for her work ethic and her eye for design. She really puts her heart into it!
Leigh and her talented team have created numerous heirloom treasures for our family over the past 6 years. They first crafted a beautiful farmhouse table, and refinished chairs we already had to match it perfectly. Leigh next worked with us to create lovely coffee and end tables, providing paint and varnish wood samples so we could select the correct colors in our lighting. The tables feature beautiful gray blue legs and match our rug perfectly - and Leigh did a superb job shipping the pieces 8 hours from here, ensuring they were well protected to arrive safely! Leigh’s masterpiece is our kitchen island (also necessitating shipping 8 hours away) and though I love each of their pieces, this is my favorite. Leigh spent countless hours discussing my very detailed wishes, reviewing measurements and coming up with creative solutions to get maximum space utilization within our space constraints. Her attention to detail is remarkable, and she truly listens to her customers’ desires, making their dreams a reality. Many wonderful family memories are being created around Karmal Skillington’s exquisite pieces! You are in wonderful hands with Leigh and her artisans, trust them to create incredible and unique heirlooms your family will treasure!
I had a custom coffee table made and it was a bit of a leap of faith that what I envisioned had been communicated. Quality of work exceeded expectations. Leigh is a perfectionist
Leigh does great work. She listens to our needs, works with our budget and delivers on time. We love working with her and her team.
Our search to acquire a custom built, one-of-a-kind, farmhouse table began about one year ago. We looked at custom shops in 4 states. We found Karmal Skillington on the web and made an appointment with the owner, Leigh, and met her at her store on a Saturday afternoon to see what she had to offer as to our dream farmhouse table. Leigh really took the time to capture the essence of what we were looking for, from size to style to colors and tones of the wood. She gave us an exact build-time and kept her word. She sent us pictures of our table through the process and even guided us through the details of making a couple of changes. Our table was delivered and we are more than thrilled with it. It is absolutely perfect! We thank Leigh for being the super artistic, creative, professional person that she is..and now...our friend.Jeannie and Don Hester, Evansville, IN.
Leigh does great work. She has a great eye and ensures every project is done right. Ill use her again for my next project.
I needed a large sideboard/credenza/buffet for my dining room. I shopped everywhere including online and just couldn’t find the look I was wanting with the size needed. Enter Leigh at Karmal-Skillington!! She saw my vision, adder her own magic to it and I now have the most gorgeous piece of custom furniture that will be a forever piece. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the delivery! Next up, bedroom pieces! And I’m excited to use Karmal again!!!
We love our beautiful farmhouse table and it was delivered just in time for Thanksgiving as promised! Thank you Leigh for the excellent service amazing craftsmanship!
Leigh and the team at Karmal Skillington are amazing! Their reclaimed wood flooring and furniture is absolutely gorgeous. They will sit down with you, walk you through the process and they will turn wood into a masterpiece. They continue to stand by their work and provide better service than Restoration Hardware or any other Custom Furniture and Custom Reclaimed Wood Flooring Company around. Best decision youll make!
Some of our favorite, forever pieces are those we have collected from Karmal-Skillington. Leigh is also one of our favorite people. We trust her. She listens and will create pieces to fit your personal style. Go visit her fun, eclectic store and meet her talented team.
I’ve been buying from Karmal for 15 years. You just can’t beat the service and the furniture has stood the test of 3 little kids. It’s fabulous!!
Leigh and staff made our beautiful pedestal legs. Great quality and nice to work with.
Karmal Skillington is the best! Over the last 18 years Leigh Skillington has designed many small and large pieces of furniture for 2 of our homes. I would tell Leigh what we wanted and she and her team would make it happen. The attention to detail, workmanship and quality is excellent.Each piece we have in our homes is exceptional and the use of reclaimed wood is absolutely beautiful.
Leigh Skillington and her team at Karmal Skillington created the perfect dining table for us from a photo! They customized it to fit our space and we are very happy! Their skill and the pride they take in their workmanship is evident. We appreciated their excellent service and highly recommend them.
Leigh, the owner of Karmal Skillington, helped my wife and I design a custom island for our loft. I cant say enough how much we both loved it. Its truly a work of art, right down to the hand-carved cherry blossoms on the backsplash. Weve also purchased two bathroom vanities at KS and are as happy with them as we are the island. From start to finish she was wonderful to work with and the finished products all turned out incredible. She has the best stuff in town with quality that cant be beat. Check her out!
Leigh and her team at Karmal-Skillington created a beautiful table for us just in time for Thanksgiving. Our dining room looks perfect!From start to finish the process was easy and we were made to feel like every question and request mattered. Thank you Karmal-Skillington for an incredibly memorable holiday season and a table that is sure to bring us years of stunning memories!
Been going here since 99. Great place and service.
It has been said that kitchens bring families together. For our big family of eight, the kitchen table serves as the heart of our home. In 2007, we purchased a custom farmhouse table from Leigh at Karmal Skillington. The matchless, custom quality of her one of a kind tables ensure that each timeless piece is forever in style. When we recently considered shopping for a larger table for our growing family, our adult children quickly rejected the idea of parting with beloved table. They explained the table’s patina marks and well worn seats serve as reminders of the cherished memories made and moments shared around our family’s farmhouse table from Karmal Skilington. If you are looking for a centerpiece table to anchor your home, to gather your loved ones, to foster family moments, and to collect life long memories … go see Leigh at Karmal Skillington.
Leigh is fantastic, knowledgeable beyond what I can articulate, has a great vision for how to produce a quality product and was able to produce exactly what we wanted. I can’t recommend them enough and I’m sure we will be back for future needs.
Karmal Skillington has proven to stand for excellence in craftsmanship, quality and style. I have had the pleasure of working with Leigh, the incredible woman behind the name, on several projects and my experience has been nothing but professional, her craftsmen take pride in their work and I have never been let down. Skillington built furniture and cabinetry is absolutely gorgeous, the finishes are unlike anything Ive seen, unique with character and timeless design . Each custom piece is not only built to last, but built to be handed down from family to family for ages to come.-Julie Whitten, Owner, Whitten Kitchens and Baths
These guys will bend over backwards to get you what you want! I love this place.
NOT open the Saturday we drove 1 hour to visit although the website says they ate
Great customer service!
