Greetings! Thanks for checking out my work. I am Abigail Sabatino,  furniture rehabber and artist behind Orton Originals. My home and business are located in the eclectic Marquette "Willy Street" Neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin. The neighborhood is also home to the popular and beautiful Orton Park.   

My business model is simple. I use quality furniture from the past as a canvas, and recreate them into original, artful pieces.  When I look at a furniture project I see potential. I imagine how the piece will function in a new space. I honor the time period it was made and the inherent style it carries with it. And I determine what needs to be done to bring it back to life. 

The canvas is extremely important. The piece must be high quality, provide visual interest and functionality.  Design elements may include solid wood, dovetail drawer joints, hardwood tops, quality veneer and ornate details. The craftsmanship of older furniture is superior to much of what is mass produced today, it's already proven it can pass the test of time. 

You can feel good about purchasing from Orton Originals. You are guaranteed quality, one-of-a-kind, furniture art with its own unique story.
