BARTLEBY'S
beginnings

In 1998, Zoey Bartleby started her
first business, Conversation Peace,
with humble beginnings — selling
her handmade wood home decor and hand-painted vintage furniture at arts & crafts fairs, flea markets, and street corners.
She's earned honors academic degrees in Communication & Expressive Arts, New Media Journalism, and Strategic Brand Communication, that include dozens of practical and fine arts courses — stitching together a patchwork quilt of professional experience.
"For many years, as a young adult and a struggling single parent, I lived on a very limited, humble budget — unfortunately, I had a less-than-humble eye for design! But, it taught me to be resourceful with neglected, worn-down, free vintage furniture and low-cost thrift finds.
What started as necessity became an artistic outlet. Through blood, sweat and tears, my labors-of-love furniture art has caught the eye of discerning tastemakers who seek unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. My artfully recrafted furniture pieces have been in art shows and purchased by art collectors.
25 + Years Later
Saint Bartleby proudly goes against the grain of mass-produced furnishings by bringing new life to aged, disregarded diamonds in the wooden rough.
It's fulfilling to provide a conversation piece that carries history and evokes nostalgia into the homes of my valued customers who appreciate the sustainable values and character of recrafted fine art furnishings."
