I have been working with precast concrete for 25 years now. In 1997, after many years of making all wood furniture, I felt like my pieces needed some other material added to it to give it more life. I started working with concrete to create table tops for the tables I was making at that time. By 2001, I was doing custom concrete countertops and fireplace mantels as a full-time business. In 2014, I decided to retire from doing custom concrete work and dedicate my time to making one-of-a-kind items to sell and Atmosphyre was born. Since my background before concrete was woodworking, it only made sense to combine the two in the best way I could. That is how the bathroom vanity and concrete sink combination was born.

She is perpetually curious about the world, near and far, and learning new skills and trades.

Yukon (aka fluffy love and chair theif)

Named after Yukon Cornelius, his name fits him so well because he acts like he has the strength of a lion. The only things that scare this puppy are fly swatters, handtrucks, blowing leaves and baby crickets. Other than that he fears nothing. :)
