The people behind the shop

Meet Kim and Bob

What began as a simple way for Kim and her husband, Bob, to showcase and sell his handcrafted and refinished furniture has grown into a cozy little shop filled with thoughtfully chosen home décor, self-care favorites, gifts, and pieces that make a home feel lived-in and loved.

Kim

For Kim, The Napping Gnome is all about creating a place that feels warm, welcoming, and a little like home.

Kim brings the heart behind The Napping Gnome—believing that beautiful spaces don't have to be complicated or extravagant. Sometimes, it's the simple things that make a house feel most like home.

Bob

Bob is the craftsman behind Rugged Timber Revival and one half of the husband-and-wife team behind The Napping Gnome.

Today, Bob's custom and refinished furniture remains an important part of the shop's story, bringing craftsmanship, warmth, and a little rugged charm to the cozy atmosphere Kim and Bob have created together.
