From Pinterest Board to Reality: Turning Inspiration into Custom Pieces

Aug 16, 2025

We’ve all been there. Scrolling Pinterest at midnight. Saving that gorgeous dining table, that sculpted bench, that cozy entryway setup.

You pin it. You dream about it.
And then you ask yourself… “Could I actually have something like this in my home?”

The answer? Yes.
At YEG Woodcraft, we’ve helped dozens of clients turn Pinterest dreams into custom pieces built to fit their space, their lifestyle, and their story.

Here’s how we do it.

Step 1: Bring the Inspiration

You don’t need a sketchbook or a design background.
We’ve worked with everything from Pinterest boards and magazine clippings to phone photos taken at a friend’s house.

All you need is an idea. We’ll take it from there.

Step 2: We Get to Know You

Unlike mass-produced catalogue companies, we don’t just copy an image.

We ask:

How do you use your space?
What woods speak to your style?
Do you need room for six… or ten?
Do you like a soft edge, or a bold silhouette?

Because your inspiration should work for your life.

Step 3: We Translate the Vision into a Plan

Here’s where the magic happens.

We’ll take your inspiration and create a design that feels like it came from you, not just from the internet.
That might mean tweaking proportions, choosing a better-suited wood, or hand-selecting stain samples that match your home’s tone.

Everything we build is made from solid hardwood locally sourced, kiln-dried, and built right here in Edmonton.
No knock-offs. No shortcuts.

Step 4: You Approve the Details

Before a single cut is made, you’ll see the plan, the materials, and the vision fully laid out.

You get to feel the wood. Approve the finish. Ask questions.
Because this isn’t a copy-paste job. It’s collaboration.

Step 5: We Build the Piece That Brings It All Together

Once approved, we build. By hand. With care. With intention.

It’s not just about making something that looks like your Pinterest board.
It’s about creating something that feels like it belongs in your home because it was made just for you.

Why Our Clients Love This Process

Because they don’t want “inspired by.”
They want built for.

As one of our clients put it:
"I thought I wanted the table I saw online. What I got was better because it was mine."

You Don’t Need to Settle for Lookalikes

We get it. You’re tired of finding furniture that looks close but never quite right.
The truth is, your dream space doesn’t live in someone else’s catalogue.
It lives in your vision. And we’re here to build it.
