About Us
An exciting new custom handcrafted furnishings store is coming to Main Street. This unique shop is full of personality and has already received rave reviews even before its official grand opening on March 26.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place March 25.
The new 1,000-square-foot shop, located at 948 Main St., adjacent to the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, features such distinctive furnishings as a bed constructed of 95 percent recycled materials, complete with a headboard that lights up with butterflies, flowers and dragonflies; a garden cart changing table on wheels; and a butcher block with an underside pot rack. The shop also includes mirrors, jewelry boxes, picture frames, tables, garden stands, benches, oil and wax diffusers, candles and more.
The Fremans are not new to business. The veteran entrepreneurs have owned and operated Tropical Air, Inc., a commercial and residential heating and air conditioning business, for the past 19 years. Misty serves as office manager for the family-owned business while homeschooling their daughter, Cienna, 8, and tutoring several other young girls at Classical Conversations home school community.
"I have had the opportunity to meet some unbelievable artists during the course of our air conditioning work,” he says. "We will have some of their work displayed at the new shop, too.”
Resurrected Rustic will also be offering woodworking classes for children and adults.
"In today’s age of technology, people are not experiencing the excitement and pride of building something with their own two hands,” he explains. "We have a fully equipped shop that will allow you to create your own
masterpiece, including how to make jewelry boxes, wood frames and storage boxes. The schedule of classes is available at the shop and will be posted on our website and on Facebook. We’re planning family movie nights, story time, a biker breakfast, artist nights and many other events in the coming months."
"We want Resurrected Rustic to be enjoyable and comfortable, a place where our community can come together.”
Resurrected Rustic was born out of necessity — and passion. Owners Greg and Misty Freman moved to Ramona from Chula Vista in 2002, and like many local residents, purchased their home near the height of the housing market. But their hefty house payment didn’t leave anything left for furnishings.
"That is when the mania began of building furniture out of recycled materials,” Greg Freman says. "I had never constructed any furniture prior to this, but after building a dining room table, I couldn’t stop. I’ve been obsessed ever since. Resurrected Rustic has been a dream after that first dining room table, and I can’t believe that it’s finally a reality.”
