A Colorado Springs Homeowner’s Dream Realized — The Custom Cunninghamia Epoxy Dining Table by John Grier
Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado Springs is a city where natural beauty meets modern comfort. For John Grier, a homeowner in this vibrant community, creating a warm and inviting dining space was more than just a design project — it was about crafting a centerpiece that reflected his personal style, the rugged elegance of the region, and the joy of gathering with loved ones. That’s exactly what he found in his custom Cunninghamia Epoxy Table, handcrafted by John Grier (yes, the same name — a happy coincidence!) of Kazanahome.
Why Colorado Springs Inspired This Table?
Colorado Springs is known for its wide-open skies, sweeping views of Pikes Peak, and a lifestyle that values both nature and craftsmanship. John wanted his dining table to echo that spirit — bold, grounded, and uniquely beautiful. He wasn’t looking for a mass-produced piece or a designer’s showroom item. He wanted something made for him, something that would feel like it belonged in his home, not just sit in it. The Cunninghamia wood, known for its fine grain and durability, was chosen for its organic warmth — a nod to the pine forests that dot the Colorado landscape. Paired with high-performance epoxy resin in rich, earthy tones, the table becomes a living canvas — each swirl and knot telling a story of the tree’s life, now preserved in resin for generations to enjoy.
A Table Built for Real Life — Not Just for Show
John’s table isn’t destined for a museum or a boutique hotel. It’s built for his dining room — for weeknight dinners, weekend brunches, and holiday gatherings with family and friends. The thick, solid slab of Cunninghamia ensures stability and presence, while the epoxy inlays create a dramatic, almost geological effect — like a riverbed frozen in time. The contrast between the dark, matte epoxy and the glowing, textured wood gives the table depth and dimension. It’s the kind of piece that invites touch, sparks conversation, and becomes the heart of the home — exactly what John envisioned.
Design Details That Speak to Colorado Living
• Custom Dimensions: Tailored to fit John’s dining space perfectly, ensuring flow and comfort without overwhelming the room.
• Resin Inlay Patterns: Organic, freeform shapes mimic the natural terrain of Colorado — think canyon walls, mountain ridges, and desert stone.
• Durable Finish: The epoxy coating is not only stunning but also scratch-resistant and easy to clean — essential for a family table that sees daily use.
• Black Metal Base: Sleek and modern, it complements the dark epoxy while grounding the table visually — a subtle nod to the steel and ironwork found in Colorado’s historic structures.

The Emotional Payoff
When John first saw the table in his dining room, he didn’t just see a piece of furniture — he saw the culmination of months of planning, the result of working with a craftsman who listened, and the beginning of countless meals shared around it. “It’s not just a table,” he said. “It’s where we laugh, where we celebrate, where we come together.”
That’s the magic of custom furniture espec —ially when it’s made for someone who truly values it. In Colorado Springs, where the outdoors is always close and the indoors are designed to feel like an extension of nature, this table doesn’t just fill a space — it enhances it.
For homeowners like John Grier, the value of a custom piece goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about investing in something that tells your story, that fits your life, and that will grow with your family. The Cunninghamia Epoxy Table isn’t just a dining table — it’s a legacy piece, rooted in the spirit of Colorado Springs and built to last.
