Unfinished Caledonia coffee table When it comes to furnishing your home, quality and affordability don’t always go hand-in-hand. However, for savvy shoppers and DIY enthusiasts, unfinished Canadian-made furniture  is becoming an increasingly popular option — and for good reason. It offers the charm of customization, the assurance of quality craftsmanship, and, best of all, significant savings. What Is Unfinished Furniture? Unfinished furniture refers to solid wood pieces that haven’t yet been stained, painted, or sealed. These pieces are typically sold “raw,” allowing the buyer to choose how the final product will look. From dining tables and bookshelves to nightstands and chairs , the options are vast. Unlike flat-pack or imported alternatives, unfinished furniture made in Canada is often constructed from durable, sustainably sourced hardwoods such as maple, wormy maple, pine, walnut, or oak. These materials provide a solid base for long-lasting, heirloom-quality furniture — but without the added cost of factory finishes or branding. Why Choose Canadian-Made? Supporting local manufacturers has a wide range of benefits. Canadian furniture makers are known for their high standards of craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. Many operate on a small to medium scale, which means you’re often getting a hand-crafted piece with attention to detail that mass-produced furniture simply can’t match. A Canadian furniture make can create a custom piece that satisfies your exact needs.

Budget-Friendly Without Sacrificing Quality One of the biggest advantages of unfinished furniture is cost. Because you’re buying a product that hasn’t undergone the finishing process, the price is significantly lower. This gives you room in your budget to personalize the piece exactly how you want — whether that means matching an existing décor theme, experimenting with colors, or opting for a simple natural look. If you're a DIYer or enjoy weekend projects, finishing your own furniture can also be a rewarding experience. Even if you hire someone to do the finishing for you, the total cost can still be less than buying a fully finished piece of similar quality. At Cinnamon Cabin Co, we offer all furniture with an unfinished option. We're happy to provide you with the opportunity to make each piece of furniture in your home your own! Who Is It For? Quite simply: everyone. First-time homeowners looking to save, renters trying to add personality to a temporary space, or long-time homeowners wanting to invest in custom touches — all can benefit from the affordability and flexibility that unfinished Canadian furniture offers. It's also ideal for those who care about sustainability. Finishing furniture yourself gives you control over the types of products used — from eco-friendly stains to low-VOC finishes — helping reduce your environmental footprint. Unfinished Stratford Saddle Stool Final Thoughts In a world filled with fast furniture and fleeting trends, unfinished Canadian-made furniture stands out as a smart, sustainable, and budget-conscious choice. It allows you to express your creativity, invest in quality, and support local makers — all without breaking the bank. So if you're furnishing your space and looking for something affordable, lasting, and uniquely yours, consider going unfinished — and go Canadian at Cinnamon Cabin Co. ~edited by Katherine P.S. It's amazing how we are all like unfinished furniture - but God doesn't look at us as budget-friendly! He created us, and wants to make us exactly into the person He meant. To do that, He became human, lived on this earth, and offered Himself in Christ as the perfect Sacrifice for sin. When we believe on Jesus as the Son of God, and take His perfect offering as ours, God will work on us to finish us as "His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13) meant us to be!

London Mission Chair Remember when everyone was painting their furniture white or hunting for pastel everything? Well, black chairs are strutting back into the spotlight—and honestly, it’s about time. For a while, black furniture had a bit of a cold reputation. It was often associated with either ultra-modern, borderline sterile interiors or heavy, dated pieces from the early 2000s. But now? Black chairs are being reimagined in fresh, stylish ways that feel timeless, versatile, and—let’s be real—pretty cool. 1. They Go with Literally Everything One of the biggest reasons black chairs are making a comeback is their incredible flexibility. Whether your space is boho, industrial, minimalist, or even farmhouse chic, black fits in. They act like the little black dress of your dining room or office—effortless and always in style. Black doesn't clash, and it doesn’t scream for attention. It quietly complements everything around it while still adding depth and sophistication. 2. They're Low Maintenance (Bless) Let’s face it—light-colored furniture can be beautiful, but it’s also a magnet for every fingerprint, coffee spill, and random scuff mark. Black chairs are the practical friend who always shows up dressed appropriately and never complains. They're easy to clean, don't show wear as quickly, and age gracefully. If you choose black stain over lacquer, you can use a stain marker on any scuff. What more can you ask for? 3. They Bring Drama—in a Good Way Interior design trends are leaning more into bold, expressive choices lately. Black chairs, especially with unique textures or interesting silhouettes, can add just the right amount of contrast and edge to a space. They ground a room without making it feel heavy, and they instantly elevate a simple setup. Kingston Mission Chair Pair them with a natural wood table , a plush white rug, or metallic accents, and suddenly your dining room or home office has that cool, curated vibe. 4. Designers Are Into It (So, Of Course, We Are Too) Design magazines and Instagram feeds are full of stunning interiors featuring—you guessed it—black chairs. Whether it’s matte black metal frames, sleek black leather, or classic painted wood, designers are embracing the look for both its aesthetic and practical benefits. And where the pros go, the trends follow. 5. Black Stain or Lacquer for Canadian-made Chairs Black options abound for your Canadian-made, classic chair. Black stain is popular, and, as stated before, has the option of a stain marker to take care of those day-to-day scuffs and scratches that happen with use. It also keeps the unique grain of your solid wood chairs visible, and matches any table - from natural to dark walnut. Black lacquer is a beautiful option, and gives a solid black visual like paint, except way more smooth. The only drawback to lacquer is that it is solid, and as such, we don't recommend it with wormy maple. On clear maple, however? Stunning! Black chairs with dark walnut Bottom Line? Black Chairs Are a Safe Bet with Serious Style If you’re refreshing your space and want something that’s chic, versatile, and not likely to go out of style next year, black chairs are the move. They're proof that sometimes, going back to basics is actually the most modern thing you can do. So pull up a (black) chair and enjoy the return of this underrated design staple at Cinnamon Cabin Co. ~ edited by Katherine
