Second Chance Art & Accessories

I first came across Second Chance Art at the Wells St Art Fest in June of 2014. I immediately fell in love with their style, work, and art. My fiance and I purchased their wall hanging library piece and we still admire it everyday on the wall in our living room. We visit them every year at this tent and have also purchased a beautiful Paris themed mirror. My favorite pieces from Second Chance Art are two personalized items: a customized floor chest and a customized framed map. When communicating regarding these projects, Amy & Derek were quick to respond, patient, reliable and truly cared about the details of the piece. They listened to my ideas and vision and turned them into a truly unique piece of art, the finished products being better than I could have hoped. Every purchase made with Second Chance Art has been a wonderful and welcomed addition to the art in our home and we will have these pieces forever. I never pass up an opportunity to see what new pieces that have for sale and you shouldn't either!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Second Chance-----their work product and customer service are both off the scale. Excellent work, excellent people. We bought the beautiful North Carolina map and think it is both beautiful and ingeniously done.

Second Chance Art and Accessories made me a custom "Nineteenth Hole Coat Check" wall hanging to fit a wall in my son's room. Amy was super nice to work with, always followed through, went the extra mile to ensure I was satisfied with every detail, and delivered ahead of schedule. The finished product is beyond gorgeous and has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend services from Second Chance Art and Accessories.

Amy and Derek built a custom Library piece for me. Amy was so easy to work with. She was so helpful and I could tell even from our very first interaction how much she cared about the work that she and Derek do. She sent me photos all during the process and we discussed lettering, colors, etc. Derek installed the piece in my home and was great. The piece came out even better than I thought it would and it perfectly completes the room where it hangs. I am already considering having them build a custom mirror for another room in my house. I recommend them to anyone!

We hired Second Chance Art to custom design a piece for our kitchen. Amy was wonderful to work with; she was patient, detailed, and proud of her work. We absolutely love how the finished product turned out and receive compliments on it often.

I came across Second Chance Art & Accessories when they exhibited at the Frankfort, Illinois Fall Fest. I was very impressed with their work then that I bought a stock piece. Since then, I've worked with Amy & Derek twice when I needed custom pieces. The first time was so successful, I had to come back with another order. In both instances, Amy was very quick to respond. I told her what I needed and gave her all my thoughts and preferences. She came back with several designs and was happy to tweak them for me (although she didn't have to do much) until we got to the final design. After that, the turnaround was done in a prompt fashion and before I knew it, both Amy and Derek were at my door to install the piece. I love working with them and would highly recommend Second Chance Art & Accessories to anyone looking for a truly unique or one-of-a-kind vintage piece.

I can say that without any hesitation that I highly recommend Amy and Second Chance Art. They were such a pleasure to work with. They were on time, on budget and delivered exactly what I wanted. They couldn't be any more delightful to work with. I love my piece that they did for me and they came out and installed it expertly, cleanly and exactly at the agreed upon time. If every business did business like Second Chance Art the world would be a better place.

We have several beautiful creations in our home from Second Chance Art; some were custom designs by Amy. Because they are one-of-a-kind, repurposed pieces, they are the highlight in the rooms they occupy. Many of my design clients have added Second Chance Art pieces to their interiors. When we entertain in our home, our guests are often drawn to Amy's work. They are so unique and great conversational pieces.

My wife and I bought several amazing pieces of wall art from 2nd Chance Art. One word to describe each piece ... WOW. That is how all of our guests react to each uniquely beautiful piece of "functional" art. We love it so much that we have asked them for a custom mirror to go in our bar. Working with Amy we modeled a very cool mirror and we cannot wait for it to be ready. Beautiful art. Wonderful to work with. Very unique. That about says it all.
