Custom Design at La Puerta
Time and Attention. La Puerta's designers work closely with clients to design and create the most unique products and finishes for their home.

La Puerta Originals transforms architectural antiques and old wood into modern day treasures for your home. Our collaborative design process blends your aesthetics with our skills. One-of-a-kind doors, luxury cabinets, furniture, fireplace mantels…the possibilities are endless!

Our team of project managers will collect information on your project and schedule a design appointment. Design appointments are scheduled in advance. At the design appointment we learn the scope of your project, review existing architectural plans and determine a budget. In addition, we offer professional design services to help you create new, detailed drawings for your project.

Our team will help facilitate the creative process and expertly guide you through our amazing raw material inventory to select the perfect combination of woods, finishes and complementary hardware. The design appointment includes a tour of the inventory yard, and provides a brief cultural history of the material as well as
provenance. The client can personally select materials or the designer can provide recommendations. By personally choosing material from the inventory, the client is able to participate directly in the design of their unique products.

Using your approved designs and materials, our talented master craftsmen bring centuries-old wood back to life with many of the same techniques and simple hand tools used to fashion the original doors and hardware

Attention to Detail
Each of La Puerta Original’s wood products are handmade, often using the same techniques and tools that were used to make the original antique doors, old wood, and hardware. This attention to detail ensures that the end product is beautiful, unique and authentic.

What you can expect
