Rosewalker is very proud that our dedication to quality and service above all has not gone unnoticed. We've been fortunate to have our work included in many articles in both local and national press publications for a number of years.
Here are some excerpts:
"Rosewalker...redefines what it means to restore furniture." -Nashville Lifestyles
"Their skills run the gamut: high-end antique restoration,
architectural woodturning (think custom balusters and sconces)
and even their own line of hand-made decorative
art pieces, which are available from Rosewalker." - Nfocus
"...if you're renovating a 19th-century house, chances are you won't find a newel post for your house in the aisles of a warehouse store. In that case, you'll look up Richard Sullivan..." - The Tennessean
