About Custom Cottage

Hey there, we're Emily and Maree, the faces behind Custom Cottage! Since day one, we've shared this dream of teaming up and making something special together. Emily's expertise in woodworking and furniture design, honed at NMU, and Maree’s background in the world of merchandising and business, creates the perfect team. Together, we believe we've got what it takes to take this business to new heights.

You'll find us nestled right in the heart of Milwaukee, working hard to bring back that handcrafted furniture vibe. We've noticed folks are after unique pieces that tell a story, so that's what we're here to deliver. Whether you're after a cozy bedroom setup, a killer entertainment center, or a dining table that's the heart of your home, we've got you covered. We're firm believers that handmade furniture isn't just about looks - it's about bringing people together, making memories that last.

Situated within the vibrant 30th Street Corridor, once a hub of industrial activity, our workshop stands as a testament to the revitalization of this historic area. Emily’s been the lead builder at Custom Cottage for two years, and when the chance came to take the reins, she jumped on it. Now, as a sister duo, we're ready to roll up our sleeves and take Custom Cottage to new heights!
