Our Story

Since 1997 Rustic 101 has been a thriving connection to the old world of craftsmanship and care.

Hand Crafted Culture

In our small workshop, tradition is the heartbeat of everything we do. Our team, a close-knit group of artisans, works side by side, sharing techniques that have been passed down through generations. Each project we create is a testament to the care and craftsmanship that defines us. With the love and dedication of a team that is like family, the spirit of our heritage lives on in every piece.

Our Family Values

 At Rustic 101, we see our clients as part of our community, and we take pride in supporting them with the same values of care and dedication that Jaime cherishes. With both our San Diego and Laguna Beach locations being owner-direct attended, you are assured to have a warm and dedicated experience. We believe that the best customer service comes from those who are passionate about their craft, and we take pride in being directly involved in every interaction.

Jaimes Journey

Jaime grew up surrounded by the rich craftsmanship and artistry of Mexico, where every piece told a story and served a purpose. When he founded Rustic 101, he brought this heritage with him, aiming to create functional art that meets the unique needs of each customer. With 27 years of dedication, we are proud to have completed over 7,000 custom projects, bringing the Rustic 101 mission to homes across California and the United States.

 Life on Hwy 101

Rustic 101 began its journey on the historic Highway 101 in 1997 in Solana Beach, CA, where it quickly became a beloved destination. As time passed, Jaime decided to move up the coast in 2014, to a quaint spot we affectionately named “Casa Amarilla,” a charming yellow beach bungalow filled with character, hinting at the whimsical display of our pieces inside. In 2022, we expanded our horizons by opening a new location in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe. Now, in 2024, continuing our tradition of life along the 101, we are thrilled to announce our newest gallery in Laguna Beach.

Now Open in Laguna Beach

We are pleased to announce the opening of our new gallery in Laguna Beach.

 We invite you to visit and explore our curated collection of inspirational pieces to help bring your project dreams to life.
