Rustic Blueprint, Tampa FL

We were very pleased with James and Rustic Blueprint for the design and construction of our custom made outdoor dining table. James was very helpful from the start of our project guiding us on all aspects for this design. Communication, skill set, professionalism met our expectations. We would call upon James for a future project and would recommend them.

This is the second time that James has built a table for us. He is a class act and always does what he says he will do!

Jim and his team at Rustic Blueprint are master craftsmen creating beautiful custom furniture! They turned wood I had salvaged from my parents barn in KY into a gorgeous one of a kind coffee table. Jim was extremely patient as he helped me perfect the design. After changing my mind numerous times, we settled on a complex yet unique design. The end result is stunning. This is my second table from this team and I could not be more happy! Thank you Jim and team for helping to preserve a part of my childhood home while creating a unique statement piece for my Florida home!

Our black walnut table that James made for us is truly a work of art. It is beautiful! James is a true craftsman, and we would highly recommend Rustic Blueprint if you are looking for a unique table or mantel.

Customized Love. They build beautiful things. Honest, kind and listening folk. Matt’n Jay are Golden!

James and his team did a beautiful job on our black walnut dining table. It was ever bit as classy as James said it would be. If your looking for something out of the ordinary, definitely take a look at Rustic Blueprint

James created a custom 8 foot cherry dining table with their signature "Monet" base for us. I read reviews for a few local companies before meeting with James and I'm very glad we selected this veteran-owned company to work with. He met with us several times to discuss details and pricing before ordering, and even had us come to the shop to check out the bases before making final changes/staining. The table is exactly what I was looking for in terms of look and quality for our "forever" table!

James built us a custom dining table that was both modern and rustic. We absolutely LOVE it. The quality is superb and it was very personal as we selected the wood and stain ourselves after taking samples home to see how it would look in our space. I would recommend this business without hesitation if you want quality craftsmanship.

I had began a search for a rather large sized desk a towards the beginning of the year. I searched everywhere and was denied or never responded to so many times until I found this place. The owner was very nice and very helpful in creating exactly what I wanted. I visited the amazing shop a few times before finally placing an order. I did inform the owner I had a time restraint as I had to travel when the estimated completion date was. He completed it 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I absolutely love my desk and use it every single day. I also love the unique history of the wood used in construction. I simply could not have bought a desk of this caliber. Whenever I think I need some new furniture or anything, I think of this place. To the owner - I apologize it took me so long to leave this review

James was a pleasure to communicate with, and we love our table! Beautiful quality and we appreciate him working with us to get the exact product we envisioned.

We couldn't find exactly what we wanted for size and material so we went to Rustic Blueprint. It took us a while to decide what we wanted and never felt rushed in the process. We just received our table and it turned out better than we imagined - by far exceeding our expectations. It is a stunning piece.

Beyond disappointed with my experience with Rustic Blueprint. Where to start. I ordered a 30"x60"x1.75" top with a live edge for my desk. What I received was a 30"x60"x0.75" top with a band around the edge, making only the outside edge 1.75". The top is useless to me now as I cannot mount it to my standing desk without jerry-rigging a (non-matching) plywood insert. I paid an additional $95 for a live edge. What that meant to James was to hit the edge with a sander to make a fake-looking live edge. Communications were horrible throughout the process. On the work order, I requested samples of natural wood and grey wash. The sample that I received was natural wood and kona. James provided a time to meet at his showroom for pickup and stated that an employee would meet me there. I showed up at the showroom during the window, and no one was there. I contacted James, and he said that I should be at their shop; mind you, the address is not publicly available, nor was it ever provided to me. He stated that it was only five miles away from the showroom. It took me nearly an hour to get there on Friday during high traffic. I would certainly encourage you to shop around before hiring Rustic Blueprint. If you choose to do business with Rustic Blueprint, ensure that you're incredibly specific and follow up with James daily.

James is professional and takes pride in doing a great job for his clients. I told him what I wanted and he made it happen; we love our wall unit! Looking forward to working with him in the future!

I ordered custom made book shelves from Rustic Blueprint. It is easily the most beautiful part of the house now. James from Rustic Blueprint used wood recovered from the demolition of a 100 years old Florida hotel. The wood is gorgeous. My eyes cant help to rest on it whenever I pass by. It turned the dull hallway into a centerpiece of the house. I am very happy with it.

We have been looking for a dining room table for some time and were not finding anything we really loved. We found Rustic Blueprint and figured we would see if getting a custom table would be something we could do with our budget. James was amazing right from the start and we were able to schedule a time where it was just us in the show room and we could socially distance but still have a consultation session. James has up front pricing that is very reasonable even when compared to places selling non-custom work. We were able to find style that we liked and talk about the dimensions of our space so we could find the right fit. James did a great job updating us throughout the process and we absolutely LOVE our new table. I am excited for the next time we need another piece so we can come back to Rustic Blueprint!

We recently received our custom dining table made for us by Rustic Blueprint and couldn't be any happier. We met with James a couple times and he helped talk us through what we needed to look at before we decided on exactly what we wanted and was honest with what the shop could accomplish. We ended up with a unique table that fits our home perfectly. We were unfortunate to have had COVID delays affect the timeline of our table, but James continued to keep us updated and ensured that he wanted his crew to remain safe during the process. Needless to say, the guys did a FANTASTIC job on our table and it was well worth the wait.

James and the team at Rustic Blueprint are phenomenal! James has helped design and create multiple pieces for me and they have all turned out amazing. For any custom furniture needs I would strongly recommend him!

Great experience from beginning to end. We happened upon Rustic Blueprint one day, and I feel very lucky we did. We were looking for a unique addition to a new construction house we were building. A reclaimed wood counter top and open shelves from Rustic Blueprint were the perfect fit. James could not have been easier and nicer to work with. He showed me several options and tailored the product to exactly what I wanted. It turned out better than I imagined. He accommodated the (often changing) construction schedule and worked with me to get the job done right. James' attention to detail and workmanship are superlative. I highly recommend Rustic Blueprint. I will definitely go to James and Rustic Blueprint for any future projects! Thanks for the beautiful counter and shelves, James!

James at Rustic Blueprint has been great. We have had him build 2 different pieces for our home and they have come out fantastic. We brought him the idea and he was able to bring it to life. Wife and I are super happy with the results. Unique tables you will never find at a store. Definitely recommend Rustic Blueprint!

James was very professional and guided us to make the right choices for our kitchen table and bench. The options are endless, so having direction from him was important. He took the time to look at our kitchen color, style, lifestyle to recommend the table. It took a few months, but it’s handmade and is top quality. It looks better than we anticipated and we would buy from him again. It looks and feels like it’s built to last a lifetime, and the cost was well worth what we received. Highly recommend if you want a unique, beautiful, top quality table.
