Specialties
Furniture is a functional and decorative part of your home, a lifetime of wear and tear can compromise those well used chairs, or much loved dresser. I repair a wide range of furniture styles - from antiques, to mid-century, to modern day.
My services include fixing, or replacing broken and missing parts; tightening loose joints; repairing chairs, tables, rocking chairs, dressers, desks, beds, etc.
I also do seat weaving and replacement including cane, rush, Danish cord, Shaker tape, etc; small upholstery projects like dining room chair seats, stools, and more.
I do not do refinishing, except to repaired areas.
Each project is unique – contact me for a free consult and estimate. Shop visits by appointment only.
History
Established in 2016.
Naomi Aubain, the owner of Furniture Fixitor, has almost 30 years of experience in cabinetmaking, custom woodwork, and furniture restoration. She started as a partner in a small custom cabinetmaking shop in Brooklyn, NY, specializing in built-in bedrooms and kitchens. Later, she worked in architectural woodworking and freelanced for the South Street Seaport Museum in NYC.
Naomi and her family then moved to New Paltz, NY, where she downsized to a smaller shop specializing in fixing furniture. She quickly became established with the local antique dealers and residents as a reliable and accessible resource for all types of furniture repair and seat weaving, like cane, rush and Danish cord.
