{ saying hello to the N E W year🔅 } It’s been a whirlwind (maybe a tornado) the past year or so, with happy + incredible highs, but also quite a few painful lows. It’s hard to believe that in 2022 we plan to celebrate what will be nearly a decade in the custom handmade and antique furniture industry in a community of the best talent in so many areas (makers, designers, vendors, etc.) that our industry has to offer. For us, the year 2021 (which felt like 4) had many humbling, breakdown-inducing turned teachable moments with tireless testing of our flexibility, dedication, values, persistence, and patience. 2021 brought huge sacrifices from our team, even larger ones from our personal family, and countless all-nighter work habits(not unlike our first years).
2021 had many successes for which we truly treasured in a hard time, beautiful pieces in even more lovely homes, and even a few unexpected achievements that we never dreamed possible. We endured and overcame relentless obstacles from every direction (both personally and professionally). However, we are navigating the “new normal” as best we can, adapting to changes as fast as possible, and are confident that with the support of our loyal clients, prayer ☺️, hopefully less sanity and bloodshed that 2022 will be better than all the ones before. We are always unspeakably grateful for your patience and want nothing more than to surpass all expectations you’ve come to know us for at the CEH. Thank you for letting us be a part of your homes for almost a decade and counting! We love the appreciation our clients have for the highest quality of handcrafted furniture bench made, each piece different than all others before it. Rest assured that our team has been and continues working harder than ever before to continue to deliver the CEH quality and standards we expect from ourselves, and from which we are known for- our service and the rare craftsmanship and talent of our team. While the conditions have changed largely - we are fully committed to making 2022 our best year yet, building beautiful pieces for your homes and projects for many years to come. With love- justin and diana

{ road w a r r i o r } Hard to believe Justin has been gone half a year now! The seasons have changed three times since he began and we look forward to normalcy in the shipping world again soon. As many of you know, Justin has been doing ALL of the deliveries outside of Texas since May (from CA to MA!) We have missed him dearly at home, as has the team at the ceh workshop who thrive under his leadership, but are all grateful and inspired by his dedication to do whatever it takes in this wacky shipping/supply period to get our handcrafted ceh beauties and antiques safely to our wonderful and patient clients 🤍🚚💨 damage rate is now below 1% on items Justin takes solo to their destination!

Thank you so much for all of the kind thoughts and warm wishes on my birthday! With each passing year, I take a moment to pause and reflect on the past year and what I want for the coming year because I know that each year is truly a gift! Upon reflecting on last year, I have so much to be thankful for.... a wonderful husband, three precious daughters, a thriving business where I get to do what I really love, wonderful in house team who help us keep our company running at a level of excellence we expect, amazing friends, and the best clients in the industry! I am truly grateful. Looking forward to the future, it is my goal to keep our company thriving and moving in a direction that meets the ever changing needs of our clients and market. We have put the right people in place who have a firm grasp of our company values and vision, and are dedicated to YOU! We are so excited that in the coming year, our CEH team will be helping us run the show more than ever, to help fulfill client orders and create truly beautiful bespoke pieces + offering curated antique selections. While I will still be an integral part of our company (especially in the design/aesthetics and HR - and less so in the business management area which my role had evolved). However - it is my number one goal to focus on our girls at this present time. They are growing up so fast and I don't want to miss a moment. We began our business for, with (literally), and inspired by them. The choice to commit to a healthy balance (with no regrets) with my work “baby” (the ceh) and our three precious girls was not one made quickly, but rather with ample trial and error, lots of prayer, lengthy consideration, and a sprinkle of hesitation (I am the ultimate micromanager/over thinker/people pleaser the team may say 🥰). I am confident that the team “has it”, and I know they will make the company better than ever before with the changes made in the past week. We look forward to delivering the same caliber of unique pieces that you can only source at the CEH. Be sure to check our website and Insta soon for the latest and greatest pieces from the CEH. Thank you for your support and understanding. Love Diana & Co.

FAST FLASH SALE ::: too much to take back!! See stories for price and item! ‼️The only catch - buyer must make payment today and also arrange shipping today with show shipper as booth must be clear by tomorrow afternoon in Round Top TX. ‼️

{ M A R B U R G E R F A R M } Delighted to be a part for the first time of the legendary antique show here in Round Top, TX. I’m an attempt to get Justin off the road and back to the workshop, sooner than later, we brought all our best pieces (antique and vintage only) here to take with ya, home! Or they have shipping on site. Come see us in booth AB8. Show closes tomorrow! Our office is closed due to all hands being on deck - here, but our workshop is still in full swing in Dallas for the bespoke items. Please DM us with any questions or needs.

{ currently 🤍}
We are incredibly thankful that for the past eight years we have been able to build bespoke pieces that we know will be treasured by families for years to come. While we will continue to build custom heirloom pieces of the utmost quality in-house at our workshop, it is time that we temporarily adjust the volume of orders processed. Due to the handcrafted, detail-obsessed nature of our items, each piece is carefully and thoughtfully built to last. Due to material and labor shortages, as well as shipping and supply chain issues that have deeply impacted our business, we have made the very difficult decision to temporarily limit the number of NEW bespoke orders that we process at this time, until further notice (which we hope to be soon). We will continue to offer the beautiful selection of our handcrafted designer Capsule Collection pieces, Antiques, Vintage, and CEH label Quick-Ship (of which more options will list soon in all listed sections.) We will still be able to answer quotes, but not all orders will be accepted due to our currently booked solid schedule which is full into next early Spring. Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and consideration for future projects. We look forward to serving you soon. With love - Diana, Justin, the Evans family, and the CEH team.

Install sneak peek! Do you know ? God bless this hard working family. Justin is on the road delivering their pieces personally in an effort to protect their business in a time when shipping companies are failing and materials are sitting in containers for weeks on end. Thank you Justin and Diana for all your hard work, for always delivering a superior product and for always taking good care of us. 🥰

Instagram only shows the highlights, in most cases. I didn’t realize to what extent, I, too, was guilty of this until lately, when more than a few friends were genuinely shocked to hear how challenging this industry is right now- for designers, makers, shippers, receivers, etc. If you’ve been following our stories - you’re probably aware that Justin has unofficially moved into the role since late Spring (and with no end in sight) as our cross country shipper (alone, at that!) My sweet kids tearfully (and endlessly) question me on why I work throughout most of the night, and also during the day- everyday (I knew it was bad when the tough middle kid kept bringing up the subject). Like many right now, we are bone-tired, and too often doubtful that our recent efforts are even making a big enough difference to justify the work-life balance we have going🤪. Tradesmen, designers, and vendors are all working so much harder than ever before, and sacrificing everything (sanity included) as it just is not possible to predict anything right now. It’s not all pretty - and mentally and physically, it is incredibly stressful. And many feel more defeated than ever before with the burden of telling our extremely valued clients the bad news of delays on top of more delays (despite doing 100 times more than we did in the pre-covid times.) There is always much more than meets the eye - and that couldn’t ring more true in this industry, at this time.

Hug your designer or vendor right now - they need it. Many of them are working around the clock, doing everything they possibly can.

Thank you for your kind post tonight, Kara, which gave me the courage to share about the less IG worthy parts that go into design.
