Laying The Foundation

We’re a husband and wife team, who are second-generation in this industry. Shaped by the quiet strength of two immigrant fathers who each built successful 40-year careers in flooring through presence, care, and follow-through.

 

They taught us early that character is everything.

That trust isn’t earned by what you say, it’s how you show up. How you treat people. How you stand by your word.

 

We watched them lead by example, building not just businesses, but legacies. And the values of their legacy is the foundation of everything we do at Abode.

A Humble Beginning

One of the happiest chapters early on was our first home together. We always called it our “humble abode.” It wasn’t just where we lived, it was where we realized how much we cared about space. About making it feel considered, personal, and truly ours.

When we got married, the idea to build something together came naturally. Not just a business, but something that reflected who we are and what we’ve lived.

That’s how Abode began. A name that nods to where we started. Designing a process shaped by everything we’ve learned.

Learning The Layers

We spent years behind the scenes supporting our family businesses and learning every part of the industry.

 

Along the way, we partnered with contractors, vendors, factories, and brands at every tier of the supply chain - seeing what worked, what didn’t, and where things often broke down.

Through those years we built a trusted network. One that gives us the confidence today to stand behind what we source, promise what we can deliver, and ensure everything we present has been carefully vetted through firsthand knowledge.

It’s how we’ve shaped a process that feels refined, reliable, and rooted in our values.

Why We Curate the Way We Do

We’ve regularly visit trade floors, talking with makers, and sifting through endless catalogs to uncover what’s meaningful in our industry.

 

We look for origin stories, for quality you can feel, for innovation that solves problems. From volcanic-grown Japanese oak to finely woven wool rugs, every product in our showroom is there for a reason. We’ve vetted the factories. We know the finishes. And we’ve hand-selected each collection to feel fresh, intentional, and quietly elevated.

 

We built our space to house what we couldn’t find when designing our own home: a refined, globally inspired selection that doesn’t feel generic. What you’ll find here is built to last, beautifully crafted, and tailored to modern living.

Creating A Better Process

Our goal wasn’t just to build a business, it was to elevate the client experience.

The way we organize and manage our process is our personal response to everything we’ve witnessed firsthand: lack of guidance, unclear communication, rushed decisions, and little support after the job is done.

Our process centers around your needs and vision. It's a modern concierge approach built on thoughtful education, personalized support, and the kind of care you should expect when investing in your space.

Abode Takes Root

We built Abode the way we’d plant a tree:
With intention. With patience. And with the quiet hope that, over time, it would grow into something lasting.
 

What began as a pursuit to source, design and serve better has become something rooted. A presence in the community. A place where clients return, not just for materials, but for trust and care for their needs.
 

We don’t see ourselves as just a boutique showroom. We see ourselves as part of the landscape, here to grow alongside the homes, families, and spaces we’re honored to help shape.

We're here to proudly serve from our humble abode to yours - an offering from the roots we've tended, for the space you’re growing into.
