Mission
“When my wife and I set out to renovate our newly-purchased home, we hunted high and low for a design firm in Ohio that would share our vision. Coming up short, I forged ahead on my own so I know first-hand the highs and lows of home renovation. Whether you just need a little inspiration for your DIY project or someone to oversee a full-blown renovation design, I am here for you.”
-Dantan Wernecke, Lead Designer
Statesman’s Guide
We here at Statesman C&D learned a lot of lessons “the hard way” through trial-and-error. Learn from our mistakes and let us help you avoid them altogether. These four guideposts help us with the tough decisions. (Admittedly, our first guidepost is attributed to William Morris, but his words ring true.)
01.
–
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
02.
–
Newer isn’t always better.
03.
–
There is a time to save, a time to spend, and a time to splurge. Know the difference.
04.
–
True inspiration is found in the most unlikely of places.
“Loving your home isn’t about being expensive or trendy - it’s about finding what you love and making it a part of your everyday .”

History
Statesman Craft & Design, Limited is an Ohio business that was founded on Leap Day 2020. The birth of our company goes back to 2017 when founder and Lead Designer, Dantan Wernecke, tried to find a local and reasonably priced design firm to assist with his own home’s renovation. Many projects and design requests later, Dantan decided it was time to open himself up to taking on new design projects and challenges.
