About Us

Our story started in 2014, when my husband and I realized we were tired of the high prices and low quality of commercially available furniture. After completing our second house flip, we knew our way around tools and decided to try building our own pieces. Inspired by Shanty 2 Chic plans, we built our first console table, coffee table, and triple pedestal farmhouse table — and quickly realized we had found something we loved.

What began as a few projects for our own home soon grew into Girly Builds. Over time, we expanded from handmade furniture into personalized products, custom gifts, and bourbon barrel lid designs. After the birth of our first child, we knew we needed to shift toward a more automated process that would allow us to keep creating while also spending more time together as a family. That led us to invest in our first industrial CNC laser, and the business took off from there. Before long, we added a second and third machine to keep up with demand.

As our capabilities grew, so did our vision. We launched Barrel & Banner Co. to focus on genuine bourbon barrel lid signs, personalized bar décor, patriotic designs, and custom pieces built for home bars, man caves, garages, patios, and gathering spaces. We also added UV printing capabilities, allowing us to create bold, full-color designs directly on authentic bourbon barrel lids with a level of detail, color, and durability that engraving alone cannot achieve.

Today, we’re proud to combine craftsmanship, personalization, and modern production technology to create one-of-a-kind pieces that feel meaningful, rugged, and built to last.
