Working with Tan, owner of the TYMporium, was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my home. She took my vague ideas for a built‑in office wall and transformed it into a stunning, fully custom piece. From the quality of the materials to the woodwork and cabinetry to the lighting and the pop-up outlets, every detail was thoughtful and beautifully executed.
What impressed me most was her love for the project and the way she truly listened to what I wanted. She asked questions, offered smart suggestions, and never rushed a single decision. She has a natural eye for for what is aesthetically pleasing and knows how to balance beauty and function with a perfectionist’s commitment to getting things exactly right. She has trusted relationships with specialists (electrician, plumber, structural engineers etc.), and coordinates with them to make sure everything is safe and seamless.
Tan is talented. Her pricing was reasonable, her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% satisfied. As a woman, I had some prior bad experiences with contractors who had either overcharged or underproduced, or both. For this reason, I intentionally chose a small local woman‑owned business for this project, and Tan’s craftsmanship and professionalism confirmed my choice was the absolute right decision. Working with her was truly a pleasure and I am already planning other projects for her to build. I would recommend Tan to anyone looking for high‑quality craftsmanship and a contractor who genuinely cares about the final product. She makes sure her clients are thrilled with the final result — and I absolutely am. Here are before and after photos.

Blown away.
I am absolutely hiring Tan again in the future.
I recently bought a condo, and the renovation in the kitchen was a cheap and incomplete flip. The wall was not properly sealed, which allowed pests to come in, which isn’t going to work for any sane person. In the corner, they installed two small base cabinets, which really did not leave any meaningful storage in what was already a very tiny kitchen.
I wanted to pick up all of the base cabinets, properly seal the wall, and install a corner base cabinet in place of the two small base cabinets. Other contractors told me that the backsplash would have to come out, the countertop would be cracked, the project would take 4-5 days, or some configuration of that.
Tan immediately understood what I was asking for, and she and her team worked with the utmost care. They removed and re-installed my countertop without any damage, removed the improperly installed drywall, replaced it with mold-resistant drywall, and sealed everything properly. With the whole process, they did not need to remove any of the backsplash to do so. For the small piece of drywall that needed to come out for the countertop to come out, it was patched up very well. For each step, they made sure the drywall mud was completely dry before something else was added. All of this work was completed in about a day and a half.
It is very rare to find a contractor who actually cares about the final product, and who cares that the customer is satisfied with the work. If you want to risk working with a contractor who will inflate the timeline just to dig into your wallet, hire someone else. But if you want your repair/renovation to be professionally and neatly done, you need to hire Tan.

I ordered a custom loft bed from The TYMporium, and I can’t express how thrilled I am with the entire experience! From the initial design consultation to the final installation, Tan and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.
The craftsmanship is top-notch—the bed is incredibly sturdy and beautifully made, with so much attention to detail. Tan listened carefully to what I wanted and added creative elements I hadn’t even thought of, making the loft bed not only functional but a true centerpiece in the room. My child absolutely loves it, and it has completely transformed their space, giving them both a cozy place to sleep and extra room to play underneath.
The communication was seamless throughout, and I appreciated how transparent and patient Tan was with any questions I had. The team delivered on time and the installation was flawless. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
If you’re looking for custom furniture that is built with care, precision, and an incredible attention to detail, I highly recommend The TYMporium. They truly exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be back for future projects! Thank you Tan!
