My parents came to Canada when I was just 6 years old. Since then, we moved around quite a bit but eventually ended up in a small detached house. One of my fondest memories growing up was learning how to work with wood and other materials to build useful things around the house like shelves, frames, wall hangings, etc.
I’ll never forget the smells and sounds of the shop we ended up building out in our garage, and that’s why I created my own little shop in my shed once I grew up and was able to get my own house.
With decorBySoma, I aim to create simple & elegant decor and pieces that serve as a wonderful, but practical addition to your space and life. Nothing extravagant or flamboyant, but beautiful accent pieces that add character to your home, while bringing you utility.
My wife helps with logistics and creative criticism, while our rescue pup Marcey likes to hang around and fetch sticks and drop them at the shop door.
Reach out to me if you have any questions & thanks for supporting decorBySoma.

Branch Manager
The real workhorse of the shop. Hard to get anything done without her. She guards the wood, chasing away all the squirrels and rabbits. She also helps gather all the branches (which may or may not be useful – but she doesn’t need to know that).
Where the magic happens (cameo of my dog)! My humble (but capable) workspace-Always important to keep a clean work area. 
Where and how the magic happens! Being able to find a good purpose for reclaimed wood is both sustainable and beautiful! 
Putting together the next batch of orders. It’s always exciting seeing it all come together every time.
