A second chance
Through the slow craft of craftsmanship.
Founded in 2024, The Picker Brothers was created to give young people in recovery a structured path toward purpose, discipline, and self-worth.
Restoration is more than repairing furniture — it's a living lesson in patience, responsibility, creativity, and renewal.
The heart of it
"What others throw away,
we teach them to restore."
We work with furniture that has been scratched, broken, outdated, forgotten, or nearly discarded — because many people in recovery know what it feels like to be written off.
Nothing is too far gone to be renewed.
The Program
Three pillars. One arc of renewal.
01
Restore the Piece
Hands-on training in furniture restoration, refinishing, repurposing, and resale preparation.
02
