A Place Called Home - Your Native Range — bath tray

When you’re looking to make a house feel like home, there’s nothing quite like adding a few handcrafted touches. At Native Range, we believe every piece of wood tells a story, and we’ve made it our mission to turn those stories into beautiful, functional décor for your space. From our custom coat racks to our welcome signs, each item is crafted with care, passion, and a bit of our own story, too. But why choose handcrafted, custom woodworking over something mass-produced? Let’s dive into the unique charm and value that custom woodworking brings to your home.

1. Unique Pieces for Unique Spaces

Let’s face it—cookie-cutter furniture from big box stores can get a little boring. When you choose handcrafted items, you’re bringing home a piece that’s truly one of a kind. Think of the difference between a custom-made coat rack with beautiful wood grain and a plain, factory-made alternative. No two pieces of wood are alike, which means every coat rack, shelf, or sign has its own personality and texture. That uniqueness adds character to your home and makes it feel more personal.

Take our custom welcome signs, for example. One of our customers wanted a specific message that celebrated their family’s roots. We created a piece that didn’t just greet their guests—it shared a piece of their family’s story. That’s something you simply can’t get off a shelf.

2. Quality and Durability That Lasts

Mass-produced items often focus on volume over quality, which is why they’re usually made with cheaper materials like particle board or veneers. With custom woodworking, you’re investing in quality. We carefully select solid wood that’s durable and beautiful, ensuring each piece will stand the test of time.

For instance, when we make a floating shelf, we’re not just thinking about how it looks now—we’re thinking about how it’ll look ten, twenty, or even fifty years from now. Each item we create is built to last, so whether it’s a kitchen shelf or a bathroom organizer, you can trust it to handle everyday wear and tear.

3. Supporting Local Craftsmanship and Sustainable Practices

When you buy from local artisans like us, you’re doing more than just purchasing an item. You’re supporting a craft, a small business, and often, more sustainable practices. Big factories prioritize speed and cost-effectiveness, which can come at the expense of quality and environmental impact.

In our workshop, we source local materials whenever possible and use sustainable practices to minimize waste. Not only are you investing in a well-made piece, but you’re also choosing to support craftsmanship that respects the environment. Plus, it’s a great feeling to know exactly who made your item, and that it was crafted with purpose, not just speed.

4. Adding Character and Warmth to Any Room

Wood brings warmth and comfort that’s hard to replicate. A handmade coat rack in your entryway or a custom shelf in your living room can transform the entire atmosphere of a space. There’s something inviting about natural wood grain, the rich tones, and the way it makes a space feel alive.

When we install a custom shelf for a customer, we often hear them say it just makes the room “feel right.” Wood has a grounding effect, creating a connection between the indoors and the natural world. So whether it’s a bathroom shelf or an entryway organizer, it’s more than décor—it’s about making your home a place of comfort and warmth.

5. Versatile Design for Any Décor Style

One of the best things about handcrafted wood pieces is their versatility. Our items can seamlessly blend into various styles—from rustic farmhouse and bohemian to modern minimalist and industrial. A well-made wooden piece is like a blank canvas; it can either stand out as a focal point or subtly enhance the room’s existing style.

Consider our wall-mounted coat racks, for example. They’re simple enough to complement a minimalist space but have enough character to fit right into a cozy, rustic home. That versatility means you don’t have to worry about trends—they’ll always look beautiful and timeless, no matter how your style evolves over the years.

6. Customization and Personalization

Finally, customization is where handcrafted items truly shine. With mass-produced items, what you see is what you get. With custom woodworking, you get what you want. Whether you need a specific stain to match your décor, a particular size to fit an awkward space, or even a personalized message on a welcome sign, we can make it happen.

One of our most rewarding projects was creating a set of shelves for a family with a unique kitchen layout. They needed shelves that fit just right in a tricky corner, and they wanted a particular shade that tied into their existing cabinetry. Custom woodworking made that vision possible, giving them a result that was both beautiful and practical.

A Lasting Investment in Your Home

Handcrafted, custom woodworking isn’t just about buying a product; it’s about bringing home something with meaning, character, and a story. It’s about investing in quality and supporting local artisans who pour their heart into every piece. When you choose handcrafted items, you’re choosing to make your home truly yours.

So, if you’re ready to add a touch of art to your home with custom pieces that fit your style and needs, check out Native Range’s collection of coat racks, shelves, welcome signs, and more. Or better yet, reach out to us with your ideas—we’d love to help bring your vision to life.

Enhance Your Bathroom with Our Handmade Bathroom Trays

There's something undeniably luxurious about stepping into a beautifully decorated bathroom. It's not just a place for practicality—it’s a personal oasis where you can unwind and recharge. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to elevate your bathroom experience is by incorporating a handmade bathtub tray into your decor. Let me walk you through why this small addition makes a huge difference and how it can be part of creating a spa-like environment in your home.

Why Choose a Handmade Bathroom Tray?

Handmade bathtub trays, like the one in the picture, aren’t just functional; they’re crafted with care and attention to detail, adding a warm, personal touch to your space. Our trays are perfect for holding all those little essentials—bath bombs, candles, books, or even a glass of wine. Imagine slipping into a warm bath, your favorite book propped up on the tray, candles flickering softly—suddenly, you're not just in a bathroom, you’re in your own retreat.

The Power of Personalization

When you add a handmade piece to your bathroom, it reflects your unique style. Each tray, because it’s handcrafted, has its own subtle characteristics—whether it’s the grain of the wood or the smoothness of the finish. This is not some mass-produced, generic item; it’s a piece of functional art that brings warmth and charm to your space. One of our customers once said, “It’s like bringing a bit of nature indoors, and it makes bath time feel so much more indulgent.”

A Blend of Function and Style

What’s more, a bathroom tray can make your life easier. No more reaching for things on the bathroom counter or precariously balancing your phone on the edge of the tub. Everything you need is neatly organized and at your fingertips. Plus, it just looks so chic. Pairing the tray with matching accessories—like a soap dispenser or plant—helps create a cohesive and stylish look.

Let’s talk about versatility. While most people use our trays for bath time relaxation, some customers get creative! They use them as countertop organizers, placing them on vanities to corral beauty products, perfumes, or even fresh towels. The possibilities are endless, and with our sleek yet rustic design, it fits into almost any decor style—from modern minimalist to cozy farmhouse.

How to Style Your Tray

Need some inspiration on how to style your tray? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Spa Vibes: Add a candle, a rolled-up washcloth, and a small plant for a calming, natural touch.
• Reading Nook: Prop up your tablet or a book, and keep a cup of herbal tea nearby for the ultimate relaxation session.
• Glam Touch: Place luxury bath products, a pretty soap dish, and a loofah for that high-end spa feel.

The best part? You can easily change up the look depending on the season or your mood. During fall, think about incorporating autumnal scents like cinnamon candles or dried flowers. For summer, add fresh greenery or a light, citrus-scented soap. The flexibility makes it a must-have for any home decor enthusiast.

Creating Your Bathroom Sanctuary

Adding one of our handmade trays is about more than just decoration—it’s about creating an experience. Whether you're treating yourself to some self-care or just want your bathroom to feel more organized and aesthetically pleasing, these trays do the trick. One customer shared, “Every time I walk into the bathroom and see the tray, I feel like I’ve treated myself. It’s such a small thing, but it makes a huge impact on my day.”

The Artisanal Touch

As artisans ourselves, we take great pride in crafting these trays from high-quality wood, ensuring durability while keeping the look elegant. Each tray is finished with care, designed to withstand the moisture of your bathroom while maintaining its natural beauty. You won’t find anything quite like it in big-box stores, because we believe in creating pieces that make your home feel more personal, more “you.”

For those drawn to the allure of a steaming tub, it is not just about cleansing the body; it's an art, an experience to indulge in self-care and find solace amidst the chaos. Native Range, in its ode to unwinding, has crafted a bath tray that promises to elevate your bathroom sanctuary to a personal spa. Here's a comprehensive guide on transforming your daily soak into a ritual of renewal.

The Blissful Merits of Bathing

A Dip for Your Health

The merits of bathing stretch far beyond the soothing of everyday aches. Epsom salts and warm water combine to offer relief to sore muscles, making it an invaluable practice for athletes or anyone in pursuit of bodily rejuvenation. Buoyancy in water has a therapeutic effect, reducing pressure on joints and promoting recovery.

Sanctuary for the Mind

A bath's tranquillity is unsurpassed; it's where many find solace from stress and a concoction to brew ideas, much like the great thinkers who did so in their bathtubs. The permeating warmth can ease a worried mind and set the stage for a peaceful night's sleep.

Detox for the Soul

While often considered a modern luxury, bathing has been integral to cultural and spiritual rituals across centuries. It's a concept that speaks to a deeper level of purification, offering a brief respite to cleanse not just our bodies but also our spirits from the toils of day-to-day living.

Elevating Your Bath with Native Range

The Bath Tray Experience

Native Range's bath tray is more than a utility; it's an embodiment of luxury and convenience. Crafted from solid wood, its design encompasses space for all your bath-time essentials. Whether it's holding a good book or a glass of your favorite Merlot, this tray ensures that everything you need is within reach without the worry of wet pages or wine spills.

The Functional Elegance

Within the simplicity of its design, the bath tray enhances the practical aspects of bathing. Adjust the stand to hold your tablet or book at the perfect angle, stow your cosmetics securely, and keep your accessories dry and organized. Its collapsible frame also makes for easy storage when not in use.

Crafting the Perfect Bath Atmosphere

The Musical Muse

Whether it’s the calming notes of classical music or the rhythmic beats of a favorite playlist that soothe your soul, a waterproof speaker adds an auditory dimension to enhance your bath-time reprieve.

Lighting the Moment

The right lighting transforms the atmosphere, and in the bath, ambience is everything. Soft, warm-toned lights or the glow of a flickering flame, curated lighting can create different moods and highlight the experience as per your preference.

Aromatherapy Oils

The bath is the perfect conduit for aromatherapy. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to the water, and with the help of the bath tray's oil vials, the therapeutic scents can turn a regular bath into an olfactory sanctuary.

The Art of Bathing

Temperature Precision

The ideal bath temperature is subjective but generally ranges between 92-100°F. There are apps and thermometers available for the meticulous bather, ensuring that your water is always at the perfect degree for maximum benefit and comfort.

The Right Duration

To leverage the healing powers of a bath fully, 15-30 minutes is generally recommended. Prolonged exposure to hot water can lead to relaxation and dehydration, so it’s best to time your baths and have a glass of water ready on your bath tray.

After-Bath Practices

After your soak, take it a step further with a post-bath ritual that includes hydrating your body, moisturizing, and perhaps a few minutes of gentle stretching. This is the hour you’ve carved out for yourself, so ensure that it ends on a note that pampers your entire being.

Unwind and Recharge

The benefits of a thoughtful bathing ritual extend far beyond the elbow room of the bath itself. It's an investment in oneself, an opportunity to find balance in an unbalanced world. By integrating Native Range's bath tray into your ritual, you don't just soak; you surrender. And with the myriad accessories to choose from, your bath becomes more than an escape; it becomes an assertion of personal well-being - that's an art worth mastering.

In the quest for a little peace, a bath is not just a dip — it's a portal to another world, one where time slows, and the ripples in the water carry your woes down the drain. With the right tools and a little intention, your bath can be the haven you've been looking for. And with Native Range, that haven can be more than segments of time stolen in the day; it’s an experience woven into the very fabric of your home.

Bath time is a cherished ritual for relaxation and self-care. To enhance this experience, consider incorporating a bath tray into your routine. A bath tray is a versatile accessory that offers both functionality and style. It provides a convenient space to keep your essentials within reach while adding a touch of elegance to your bathing space. Here are five ways a bath tray can improve your bath time:

1. Ease of Organization

A bath tray is the perfect solution for keeping your bath essentials organized and easily accessible. With dedicated compartments and slots, you can neatly arrange your soap, shampoo, loofah, and other bathing necessities. No more reaching over the edge of the tub or fumbling for items that are out of reach. Everything you need will be right at your fingertips, making your bath time more efficient and enjoyable.

2. Relaxation and Comfort

Transform your bath into a spa-like experience with the help of a bath tray. It provides a stable and secure surface to hold your favorite scented candles, soothing essential oils, and calming bath salts. As you soak in the warm water, you can create a tranquil ambiance with flickering candlelight and delicate fragrances, allowing you to unwind and relax after a long day.

3. Entertainment and Convenience

If you enjoy catching up on your favorite book or watching a movie while in the bath, a bath tray is a game-changer. It provides a stable platform to hold your reading material or electronic devices securely. With a specially designed slot for your tablet or phone, you can enjoy your entertainment of choice hands-free. No more worrying about dropping your device into the water or straining your neck to find a comfortable position.

4. Personalized Self-Care

Make your bath time a personalized self-care ritual with the help of a bath tray. You can use the additional space to place a glass of your favorite beverage, a cup of aromatic tea, or a refreshing fruit-infused water. Indulge in a moment of tranquility and nourishment as you sip your drink and pamper yourself with a luxurious bath. The bath tray allows you to create a unique and personalized experience tailored to your needs.

5. Decorative

Even when not in use, a bath tray can add a decorative touch to your bathroom. Its stylish design and the array of materials and finishes available make it a versatile accessory. You can choose a wooden bath tray for a rustic and natural look, or opt for a sleek and modern design to complement a contemporary bathroom decor. When not in use, you can place candles, small plants, or decorative items on the tray to elevate the aesthetic of your bathroom.

A bath tray is a simple yet transformative addition to your bath time routine. It provides practicality, organization, and an opportunity for relaxation and self-care. Whether you're looking to enhance your spa-like experience, declutter your bathing essentials, or simply add a touch of elegance to your bathroom, a bath tray is a must-have accessory. So, treat yourself to a more enjoyable and rejuvenating bath time by incorporating a bath tray into your self-care routine.
