History of Bruno's furniture restoration experience- short.
Tom helped his dad repair furniture from 1979 to 1982, joined the Marine Corps, (repaired furniture during his 4 years, off and on) was discharged in 1986 and went to work for dad once again until 1990, when he left and went to work for a furniture store from 1990 until 1993 delivering and repairing furniture for them (their own inventory), but also did furniture repair on the side during this time.
In 1993, Tom started his own place and grew it to 6 full time
employees and 3000 sq ft of shop in 1999- which at the time was on Lomas NE. Tom's shop was jammin' with work! He sold his shop in 2001 to a former employee, so he could become a Realtor, however- the buyer of the business recently closed the shop she bought from Tom for unknown reasons in 2010.
In the meantime, as the real estate market and economy continues to struggle, Tom could no longer survive on just real estate sales, and started restoring furniture again on a very part time basis...... realizing that furniture restoration was more of a calling and way more gratifying than real estate ever could be, Tom left real estate altogether and opened a location at 6538 4th St NW, in Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, called Casa de Bruno - just this last December of 2011!
