VanEss Expressions ~ creating unique, handcrafted wood wall decor - one-of-a-kind clocks, original accent mirrors, decorative sconces & shelving and unusual picture holders. Choose one of our original designs; or maybe we can custom make that perfect piece for your unique situation or current home decor.
One-of-a-Kind Wood Wall Decor ~ Each of our wood wall accent pieces is 100% hardwood, an original design, personally handcrafted by us - one piece at a time. Two of our over-size diamonds sconces can bracket a door way, but three can really set of an otherwise plain wall. Unique wood decor can dress up your walls, provide a focal point, or maybe beautifully hide a problem area.
Handcrafted Wood Wall Clocks ~ Functional does not need to be bland or common. Our wall clocks come in a variety of sizes, shapes and woods - and can match or provide woderful contrast to any existing home decor.
Unusual Wood Wall Accents ~ Sconces, mirrors, unique picture frames, decorative display shelves and more. Our original wood Family Tree photo holder is a great gift for parents or grandparents, and can be custom made to meet your family size (also available for the mantel).
Functional Wood Wall Art ~ Wall decor & assessories do not have to be typical or ordinary. Make yours unique, unusual, one-of-kind and, of course, make them wood. Original, handcrafted wood wall decor and wall accents can turn your walls from ordinary to extraordinary.
VanEss Expressions is more than just Wall Decor.

VanEss Expressions is all about Wood
All of our pieces are 100% solid wood ~ no plywood or laminates. We typically use domestic hardwoods such as Ash, Oak, Maple and Walnut, but do use some more exotic woods as accent pieces and have a large variety of other woods available by special request. We have a many different wood stains and dyes in stock to match your current decor or give a splash of color without covering up the grain; and we can special order others. We do not paint wood.
VanEss Expressions is all about Quality
All of our wall accent pieces are made to hang using a key-hole design - which is much more secure and flexible than zig-zag or other mechanical fastening systems.
Every peice we make is hand-sanded to a super-smooth finish, but we go that extra step of applying felt to the base of each piece intended to sit on your fine furniture.
We apply multiple coats of an extremely hard interior polyurethane varnish to give a durable, long lasting and easy-to-care-for finish.
VanEss Expressions is all about Customer Satisfaction
We personally examine each piece of stock to determine the best shape to showcase its unique grain, but to also give the very least waste.
From the original design, to the selection of wood, to the shaping of the piece, to the last coat of varnish ~ each item is individually & personally handcrafted by us, one piece at a time. It is our name on, and our reputation behind each piece.
We are the ones our customers talk to ~ for general purchases, that unique custom wood item, or (heaven forbid) a complaint. We stand behind our work and work with our customers to make things right. Most of our sales are from repeat business or referrals ~ and that's the way we like it.
