Murray and Jordan have been best friends since they were 16. Jordan has been a graphic artist and Murray worked at Ikea. Murray started doing a bit of interior design work during which he made a huge mirror for a client from old tin ceiling tiles removed from the ceiling of the house. Everyone loved the mirror and a new business was happily and accidentally born. Murray and Jordan made more objects with the old tin and, when they couldn't find any more, they began experimenting with distressing new tin. It took a full year to find a process that would allow the tin to rust and look old but not continue rusting ultimately damaging the newly painted areas.

Murray and Jordan have collectively acquired over 50 stitches and several tetanus shots over the years. They wear gloves a lot more often now.

The coat rack utilizes a reproduced stars and stripes design originally found in an old Texas courthouse.
