Rick Tauzer was Sacramento’s best-kept secret for many years – a talented cabinetmaker and finish carpenter who built some of the prettiest custom furniture in town, and did gorgeous interior architecture for many years. He’s retired to Oregon, but his pieces continue to grace some very pretty homes throughout our region.
Diane Ayers in Sacramento’s Curtis Park neighborhood is selling her Tauzer piece, a very attractive tall and deep armoir modeled after a contemporary Stickley design. She won’t ship it, but if you live near Sacramento and are looking for something like this, you certainly won’t find a better deal; in my opinion, $2000 is a steal for such a nice-looking piece of furniture.
If you’re interested, email Diane. If you’d like to see additional photos, she has some up here.
One of my biggest pet peeves – cheap hardware pulls on a beautifully handmade and constructed piece of furniture. If it is worth $2k, then at least justify it by installing some better made and better looking hardware. Those mass produced pressed metal faux finished junk pulls with fake screw heads belong only on cheap particle board furniture (in my opinion).
