Wooden Hearts

What Wooden Hearts does

Wooden Hearts Inc is a Cold Spring, Minnesota-based, privately held handmade crafts e-commerce company that designs, fabricates, and sells rustic farmhouse-style home decor directly to consumers. The product line is hand-built from real wood with hand-painted and distressed finishes, and spans more than 316 in-stock SKUs across signs (70), wall decor (44), door hangers (46), mason jar bathroom and kitchen sets (53), welcome signs (27), and jewelry (27). A signature proprietary feature is the interchangeable magnetic season changer sign system, which uses industrial-strength magnets to swap accent pieces (hearts, snowmen, pumpkins, bunnies, clovers) on a single base sign throughout the year. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from $7.99 for small signs to $59.99 for larger centerpiece and tray sets, with season changer add-ons priced at $6.50; no subscription, recurring, or licensing revenue model exists.

Revenue is generated exclusively through direct-to-consumer channels: a Shopify-powered storefront at woodenhearts.org accepting major card networks and digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay), and an in-person pop-up retail sub-brand, Deb's Closet Boutique@Wooden Hearts, operating on scheduled weekends (Thursdays 12-7pm, Fridays 10-5pm, Saturdays 10-2pm) across six 2026 summer windows at 22502 179th Ave, Cold Spring, MN. Marketing runs primarily through organic social on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, supplemented by an email newsletter and in-person event promotion.

The customer base is highly fragmented across two articulated segments: individual home decor consumers seeking personalized farmhouse pieces or gift items for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, and holidays, and wedding/event planners needing customizable rustic decor including centerpiece trays, welcome signs, and photo holders. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no disclosed revenue, no disclosed headcount beyond an 11-50 employee band, and no disclosed leadership team.
