The GD & Pines Story

Since our inception in 2013, Grain Designs has grown from an apartment garage, to multiple locations in Fargo, and then to a rural property that we called the Pines in 2014. We made this property our permanent home in 2018, purchasing the property and launched our sister company The Pines Weddings & Events.

Watch the video below and view the timeline of our shop progression; beginning with our start-up in a two stall apartment garage!

FALL 2013

The progression of our studio space is a visual understanding of our dreams for gd and where we started. Our first shop was in a two-stall garage apartment garage of GD partner Blain Mikkonen.  No heat, no air, but here the dream was started

WINTER 2013

From there we grew into our first “OFFICIAL” address as Grain Designs in West Fargo complete with a custom reclaimed basketball hoop, pull-up bar, and our first office

SUMMER 2014

In 2014 we had the opportunity to expand our operations and rent a farm shop southwest of Fargo . This was the perfect rural location with room to grow, and hit golf balls around the yard.  I guess you could call this location Grain Designs world headquarters; internally we called it “The Pines” to differentiate the property from our other shop location.

SUMMER 2018

We took on more expansion in 2018 with the addition of a Fargo furniture showroom, Grain Designs Home + Office. Our first permanent showroom allows customers to view and shop furniture, review wood or metal finish samples, or shop our line of custom signs and home decor products. The Fargo home and office furniture showroom also has a design/build center to explore and design your custom project with our in house design team. 3265 45th St. S Fargo, ND

 

FALL 2018

In addition to expanding the Grain Designs brand we made ‘The Pines’ our permanent home and purchased the entire property! With this purchase we added capacity for growth and started a new venture, The Pines Weddings & Events!

With the new shared property of GD/Pines, there was lots of under utilized acreage that we were wanting to take advantage of. With a proof of concept and 3 awards for Best Wedding Venue in the valley under our belt. We broke ground on the newest building on property, Pines Black. Construction completed in June of 2022 and with it 2 more Best Wedding Venue awards have followed.

Now, after 10+ years on property, this is how the property sits… for now. Ideas area always floating on how we can best use the space we have and how it can be expanded or improved. Stay tuned because who knows what might come next!

HISTORies AND GD TALES:

You Betcha! Fargo Media Company Office Furniture

When Myles, the You Betcha Guy was building their first Fargo headquarters, he came to us in search of office desks, meeting tables, work tables, and a container bar to turn their new YB! workspace into something more. Myles’ creativity isn’t limited to creative scripts and video, he helped design a one-of-a-kind office desk fit for a mob boss. In fact, many of the custom office furniture pieces were designed in collaboration with Myles himself. We outfitted his dark reclaimed wood office desk with a glass block Peeky Blinders -esque leg feature, a fridge drawer, a whiskey cabinet and an integrated phone charger.
