Hello, my name is Cory Hamilton. I've been designing, building, and finishing custom furniture for over 10 years now. Let me create that custom piece of furniture or piece of artwork you've always wanted!

Cory Hamilton Design

Each one of my pieces are custom designed, and individually crafted. I can produce almost any style furniture you desire including; Gothic, Old World Italian, Southwestern, Rustic, African, Modern/Contemporary, Shabby Chic, and everything in between! Some of my specialties are; Beds, night stands, entertainment center's, bookcases, fire place surrounds, corbels, entry tables, and coffee tables. I handle everything from the designing to the construction, and also unique custom finishes, which include; crackle finishing, faux marble, faux gold leaf, light to heavy distressing, and multi color finishes. In addition to furniture, some other projects I take on are; acrylic paintings, wood sculpting, charcoal drawings, and faux painting.




~Mission Statement~

Hello, my name is Cory Hamilton. I’m 29 years old, and was born and raised in Yucca Valley, CA. It’s a small desert town full of open spaces and beautiful starry nights about 30 minutes north of Palm Springs. I’m an artist who has been designing, and building custom furniture for over 10 years. My brother and I have worked for my father and his business (Hamilton Builders) for 11 years now. My father has been a general contractor for 30 years, so we handle all phases of construction, but we specialize in the design and construction of beautiful, artistic, and unique custom homes and businesses.


I’ve been learning from a young age the basics of woodworking from my father, and how to mix all kinds of construction projects with art. I credit my dad's brother, Bruce, who was my high school art teacher for guiding and counseling me on all the different artistic mediums to work with since I was a young boy. The mediums in which I’ve worked and have loved from a young age are: paintings (acrylic and oil), charcoal (drawings), sculpture (clay, wood, concrete) pen/pencil sketching for tattoos, faux painting, and custom architectural details and finishes. My love for art, and woodworking has inspired me to create one of a kind custom piece’s of furniture and anything art.


~Why custom furniture?~

So are you asking yourself “why buy custom furniture?” These days you can find a mass-produced, good-looking, but shamefully-built piece of furniture online, or at IKEA right? Why find an artistic woodworker to build that piece you’ve always wanted? The answer is simple: because it’s quality, one of a kind, artistic, and custom to you and your needs. Many of the things I build are multi-functional and serve more than one purpose. The piece you picture in your head is the piece you’ll get. You won’t have to settle for something that isn’t what you envisioned. Your money will not be going to an anonymous, foreign place where furniture is built in the thousands, and workers whose lives and yours will never intersect. Instead, you will take pleasure in knowing the piece was designed and constructed specifically for you, and the reasoning behind the design. You will know the name of the designer/builder, the shop in which it was constructed, and you will have piece of mind knowing that it’s the ONLY one in the entire world!

Your money is going to support a true artist in a day and age where his craft is clouded by the machine of mass production. When you see your piece completed you will have in front of you something that has had every detail carefully designed and custom built by hand, with excellent joinery and strength. This is when you will know you have gotten your money’s worth, and that you have brought something of quality into the world that can be handed down for generations to come!

~Getting Started~

The designing of the piece of furniture, is a creative endeavor, which means the process cannot be rushed.

There is a required one-time non-refundable design fee ranging from $100-$300.00. Price depends on the size and intricacy of the piece. This design fee will be absorbed into the entire cost of your project. Within 1-2 weeks I can have sketches for you via email or in person. Once a design is agreed upon, we will then go over a proposal/contract. In this, you will know what you will be getting, and the cost. At contract signing, there is a deposit requirement of 50% down, with another draw at the half waypoint, and the remaining amount due upon delivery. From there, I will get started. You are more than welcome to call about the progress of your piece, or come to my shop and see your piece. But please call first to set up a time.

Thank you for your time!
