Operation Kitty Rescue

"Mama Kitty" the feral Siamese that has lived around our furniture studio in New Waverly, Texas for many years decided to birth her recent litter on top of the "hot house" where painted pieces are left to dry. 

When Shane and Jordan entered the studio this morning they heard loud mewing from the base of the wall of the "hot house." Operation Kitty Rescue was quickly underway.

Rescued Kitty is now snuggled in a box in the bathroom awaiting fetching from Mama Kitty.

UPDATE:  Mama Kitty retrieved her baby and all is well!

From Brick & Mortar to Click & Order

Shane and Kandas

Fourteen years ago Shane and I made a conscious decision to market our custom furniture on the web rather than the "traditional" route. We have done very little magazine advertising and yet have been featured in some of the top magazines in our niche. Likewise, we did very little direct mail.

We focused on building a great website and making sure people could find it! We have done business with some of the top fashion and interior designers plus several well known film celebrities. They all found us on the web.

We were pioneers in "click and order" for custom furniture. Now, we are enthusiastically aligning ourselves with "click and order" greeting cards and gifts.

 Learn how Sending Cards and Gifts to show your gratitude has never been easier and more affordable. 

We continue, and will continue to create American-made custom furniture one piece at at time.

We have been using SendOutCards to reach out to our clients for about 10 months and have received some great feedback on the cards and gifts we've sent.

"I wanted you to know I received the card and cookies.  It was such a nice gesture and everyone should do business more like you. The armoire is gorgeous.  I will send a pic.  Thank You again.  It is little things like that which make a big difference." - Paul Wexler

Shane and I are huge fans of SendOutCards, both its' products and it's mission. If you'd like to make "nice gestures" that your clients won't forget, ask me for a free trial of the easy-to-use, inexpensive, revolutionary greeting card and gift system!

Live on purpose!

Smart TV Stand Design

ShaKa Studios TV Stands are smart.

How so?

They can do calculus.

Okay, so not really.

Shane Rodarte, ShaKa Studios' master furniture craftsman, did create an ingenious optional EZ Access Back Panel that does make our TV Stand design smart.  Hinged bi-fold panels allow for easy access to your components and plugs making it oh so easy to set up and switch out your electronics.  Small TV Stands have one set of doors:
