# Designs by Baerreis > art for home, art for living ## Pages - [Magnets and Ornaments](https://baerreis.com/magnets-and-ornaments/): Nathan makes magnets and ornaments by taking elements from his larger Woodmusings wall hangings and repurposing them into single layer magnets or ornaments. Magnets are usually about 3.5″ wide and the ornaments are slightly larger. $20 each, free shipping within the US - [Kitchenware](https://baerreis.com/kitchenware/): Phil and I have been making wooden spoons, cutting boards, and kitchen utensils since 1972, always with you in mind. Each piece is handcrafted, carefully designed, carved, and finished by us, so no two items are exactly alike. Our utensils won’t scratch your finest stainless steel or enamel cookware, and we include simple care instructions so they’ll last for years. Every order comes nicely packaged in an organza bag tied with a USA-made fabric ribbon. What you see here are examples – usually we make each piece when it’s ordered and confirm with you before shipping. Long Spreader$20 - [Boxes](https://baerreis.com/woodworking/): Phil and Martha have been doing this since 1972. Follow the links on this page to see more about specific pieces… because of the nature of wood, no two pieces will ever be identical, even if we make another in the same style. For that reason, what you see here are examples – contact us to ask about availability. Most of the time we just make pieces when they’re ordered and email to confirm you like it before we ship. The process is not the same as a giant reseller because everything on this website is made by our hands. […] - [Woodmusings](https://baerreis.com/woodmusings/): Nathan was a professional photographer (and still is, sometimes) for over 30 years. Now he gives his drawings new life by scanning them in, iterating on shapes, cutting multiple layers and painting/mounting them to be hung on the wall, like extruded partially sculpted versions of the original drawings. Take a look, if you have any questions just reach out!

[…] - [Martha and Phil](https://baerreis.com/martha-and-phil/): Martha and Phil Baerreis have built their lives around woodworking, emphasizing clean, functional design. In 1972 they began making a full-time living with their artwork. Before this, they helped establish Austin’s Renaissance Market—an artist-only marketplace known as “The Drag,” still active today in downtown Austin, Texas.  They traveled to art shows throughout Texas and the Southeast for many years, showcasing their work. In 1990, they moved to Charleston, South Carolina, becoming regulars at the Charleston Market six days a week. By 2000, drawn to the Appalachian region’s artistic heritage and the natural beauty of the region, they settled in the […] - [About](https://baerreis.com/about/): A Family of Artists Designs by Baerreis is the Baerreis family’s collaborative art endeavor.  Visitors to one of the display spaces are greeted by one of the artists whose work is for sale.
