Integrity of form comes from excellent design, craftsmanship and materials. Vernacular Design specializes in custom kitchen cabinets, furniture, millwork, and woodworking. We offer clear communication and creative approaches to projects, whether restoring, replacing or fabricating. Vernacular Design creates well-made woodworks that will age gracefully and live well amongst your life.

Jack Decker and his team are inspired by simple, well-executed designs. Jack grew up in the Hudson Valley where these principles are exemplified in the historic buildings of the region. He has extensively studied historic design principles, patterns and tools. His knowledge became comprehensive when he did his first complete restoration of his 1790s home in Athens, NY. Working with designers and architects has given him the experience of witnessing these same principles in modern and contemporary furniture and home design.

Let’s discuss your project.
