Key takeaways

Since 2019, built around the wall
Every brand and finish, side by side
Book ahead; walk-ins welcome
Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm

We moved to Fir Street in 2019 and finished a full renovation around a single idea: you should be able to see every brand and touch every finish in one room.

The hardware wall

Floor to ceiling, arranged so finishes sit side by side. Comparing unlacquered brass against satin bronze on a screen is guesswork. In person it takes ten seconds.

Booking a visit

An appointment is best, but we will always try to welcome a walk-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment?

An appointment is best, but we will always try to welcome a walk-in. Booking means someone is free to walk you through the wall properly.

Can I bring my designer or builder?

Please do. Most of our best sessions involve a homeowner and their designer comparing finishes together.

Designers we work with: Stephanie Brown · Gregory Funk · Trade Program

Do you hold samples I can take away?

We keep finish samples for most brands and can often loan them for a project so you can see the metal in your own light. Explore the Finish Gallery →

Where do I park?

Street parking is available on Fir Street and around the Armoury District. We are at 102 - 1880 Fir Street.

Living Finish Explained

A living finish is unsealed metal. It reacts naturally to air, moisture, and touch, developing patina as it oxidizes. Patina is the surface change that occurs over time — gradual, natural, and unique to each piece.
