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
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
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.
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
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!
When Panjini Law Offices claimed office space in Fargo’s historic and iconic Ford Building, they came to us needing something special. They wanted a remarkable space that nodded to this history of the building and made their clients feel at-home, and special. Together, we built it.
The Pines Wedding and Events (The Pines) completed its construction and opened for business in the fall of 2018. The venue, located in Davenport, N.D.,
