Creating Spectacular Furnishings for Over Five Decades
Founded in 1964 by Jack Stanley and Ross Brushett as a custom cabinetry and finishing shop, Creative Custom Furnishings quickly evolved into a full-service destination for Toronto designers. The launch of the Jones Collection in 1988 marked a new era of design innovation, followed by the addition of new lines over the next 30 years. Acquisitions of Guildhall Cabinet Shops in 2004 and Hugh Davids Refinishing in 2014 further expanded our capabilities, uniting exceptional craftsmanship in cabinetry, upholstery, and finishing—all under one roof.
Get to Know Our Services
Cabinet Shop
We craft custom pieces—from sofas and stools to beds and forty-foot dining tables—bringing your vision to life with precision and artistry. Each item is made to designer specs using locally sourced stones, metals, glass, hardwoods, and veneers whenever possible.
Restoration, Refinishing & Reupholstery
For over 30 years, we’ve offered expert reupholstery, refinishing, and repair services across Ontario, restoring furniture with the same care and craftsmanship we bring to every custom piece.
Finishing Department
Finishing reveals a piece’s true character, enhancing the grain and natural patina. Our artisans offer hand-rubbed lacquer, antique replication, distressing, gold or silver leaf, trompe l’oeil, plating, casting, and powder coating to elevate every detail.
Frames
Built from kiln-dried Canadian hardwoods, our custom frames provide a solid foundation. Notched, doweled, and glued joints, plus extra-wide cross-sections, make them up to 30% heavier—and stronger—than standard frames.
The Art of Cutting Fabric
Precision cutting and pattern matching transform upholstery into art. Our expert cutters work closely with designers—often right at the cutting table—to ensure every fabric is placed for maximum visual impact.
Tailored Upholstery
Renowned across North America, we craft custom upholstery that offers tailored comfort and support—from behind the knee to between the shoulders—fitting each client like a finely tailored suit.
Cushions
Our cushions are the finishing touch, crafted within a muslin case before being fitted into the final fabric. Available in various firmness levels—firm, medium, soft, or super soft. Dacron® wrapped foam offers a tailored look, while down and feather blends provide luxurious comfort. For easy upkeep, we offer down-filled options with foam or spring inserts to retain shape without frequent fluffing.
Interior Construction
Our sofas feature hand-tied coil springs for unmatched durability, though we also use rubber webbing and no-sag springs for modern styles. Built with premium materials—foam, felt, Dacron®, and Fortrel®—each piece meets the highest standards of comfort and design. We prioritize sustainability with soy-based foam, VOC-free finishes, and no cardboard fillers—using canvas or webbing instead for lasting quality.
The Jones Collection
At Creative Custom Furnishings, we craft tomorrow’s heirlooms today. The Jones Collection blends timeless design with enduring quality—pieces made to be cherished for generations.
