For Paula and Justin King, the couple behind Rexhill Studio, the decision came many years after they first met, as their separate interests and skillsets gradually converged in their adopted home city.  Paula grew up in NJ, attended NYU  and lived in the East Village in the 90s. Justin grew up in Ohio, took an early interest in art and dreamed of escaping the Midwest. They both ran away to the West Coast, each for their own reasons, and met in Portland where they lived for years before moving back East and putting roots down in Beacon.  Over time they realized they had complementary skills - Justin a woodworker of steadily improving ability, Paula a gifted interior designer with the operational knowledge to maintain books and oversee a shop. Thus was born Rexhill, a mom-and-pop cabinetry and interior design studio that has found a niche by resisting the prevailing forces of our economy.  In an age when most manufacturing is modular and mass produced, Justin and Paula have embraced a way of working that is custom and small-scale and local. And they\u2019ve done it together while raising kids, something common in bygone times but very rare these days.
