When Jeff and Cecilia Sprouse were building their dream home in Wheeling, West Virginia, in 2019, they knew if they filled their home with furnishings from a typical big-box retailer, it would end up looking like that store, and wouldn’t be reflective of their own sense of style.
“It was brand new,” Cecilia says of the 6,000-square-foot contemporary-style home. “Our thought was we wanted furniture that was of very nice quality, and something that reflected our personalities as opposed to someone else’s personality. We’re not run-of-the-mill people; we like things that are outside the box. We wanted it to be unique.”
And what did Homestead Furniture bring to the table for the Sprouses? Among other things, quite literally a table. “The whole design of our home centered around a large dining space,” says Cecilia. “We imagined a big beautiful table, big enough to seat 10. We didn’t know if we would be able to find something like that until we went to Homestead.” And not just any table, mind you. A wow-factor circular dining room table, with a custom base and a gleaming quartz top that wouldn’t scratch — the type of table Cecilia had always envisioned.
Homestead enabled Cecilia and Jeff to produce similar results throughout their entire house. When they were finished, furniture they had spent years designing inside their heads had become realities, from splashy living room chairs to one-of-a-kind wooden end tables to sturdy metal barstools that are Jeff’s pride and joy.
“It turned out better than I imagined it could have,” Cecilia says. “The furniture is the first thing you notice when you come into someone’s home. The pieces Homestead made for us are definitely eye-catching and, more importantly, fit us and our style. We’re very, very proud and excited to have people come visit us.”
