Restoring Furniture.
Rebuilding Lives.
A purpose-driven organization helping youth in recovery renew their lives through the hands-on practice of restoring vintage, retro, and forgotten furniture.
What We Do
A workshop. A classroom.
A second chance.
Inside our shop, broken furniture and broken routines get the same treatment — slow hands, steady mentors, and the time it takes to do something right.
Hands-On Training
Stripping, sanding, staining, upholstery, hardware, and finish work — taught one piece at a time.
Real Skills
Marketable craftsmanship and shop habits that translate directly into income and independence.
Recovery Support
Daily structure, accountability, and mentorship rooted in a community that actually shows up.
A Path Forward
Each finished piece is a milestone — proof that renewal is possible, one project at a time.

A second chance
Through the slow craft of craftsmanship.
Founded in 2024, The Picker Brothers was created to give young people in recovery a structured path toward purpose, discipline, and self-worth.
Restoration is more than repairing furniture — it's a living lesson in patience, responsibility, creativity, and renewal.
The heart of it
"What others throw away,
we teach them to restore."
We work with furniture that has been scratched, broken, outdated, forgotten, or nearly discarded — because many people in recovery know what it feels like to be written off.
Nothing is too far gone to be renewed.
