Who We Are

Meet the family, become family. See you at [the] Reunion!

Welcome to Reunion Designs, where craftsmanship, creativity, and a love for timeless pieces come together. As a family-run, all-in-one business, we specialize in custom furniture, curated interiors, heirloom restoration, and a thoughtfully collected home-goods shop. Every piece we create, restore, or curate is done with care, intention, and a deep appreciation for the stories that make a home.

Abby Madsen

The Marketer 

Jessie and Johnny's daughter,      Abby, gets to combine her          love of family, fonts, and              formatting. She considers   promoting the shop on social     media and building the Reunion website such an honor!

Grant Russell

The Muscle 

 Johnny and Jessie's son, Grant, is a     skilled woodworker in his own             right. Since discovering his passion for mechanics, he no longer works in the Reunion Woodshop but is always ready to lend a hand!

RoRo Madsen

The Helping Hands

Roselyn Jane, or "RoRo," is Andrew   and Abby's daughter who can be   seen chasing her grandparents'   kitty cat all over the porch. She is always ready to "help" -- usually by wanting to clean breakable merchandise.

Merrin Madsen

The Smiling Face

If you hear a happy pterodactyl   while browsing the market, it's   probably Merrin. She is Andrew   and Abby's daughter who is   always smiling and saying "hey" to anyone she meets.

Wash & Millie

The Airedales

These sweeties are Johnny and   Jessie's brother-and-sister duo.   They are named after George   Washington and his sister Millie.   Curious about the names? Johnny is a Revolutionary-War buff!

Our Faith

The foundation of it all...

We love because He first loved us. 

We love home because we built it on Him.

"Lord, You have been our dwelling place [our refuge, our sanctuary, our stability] in all generations."​ 

Psalm 90:1, Amplified Bible
