We are proudly one of the only places in Nicaragua to provide powder coating for our clients.
.
.
.
.
Powder coating is a long-lasting and durable finish for nearly any type of metal. First, the metal undergoes an extensive preparation and cleaning, and then goes into our oven. Once the metal reaches the desired heat, it is removed and we use an electrostatic sprayer to coat the surface with a dry colored powder. The sprayer gives the powder particles an electrostatic charge, which “sticks” the powder to the metal, resulting in a fast, even application. The metal goes back in the curing oven where the heat creates thermal bonds between the powder particles, resulting in a smooth, hard finish. This curing creates a protective seal so the surface will be more resistant against scratches, chipping, wear, and fading compared to other type of finishes. Many think it’s a preferred method for metal finishes because in addition to its physical toughness, powder coating provides superior color retention.
.
.
.
.
.
Oh, and if that’s not enough, it’s not just more durable than liquid paint—it is also safer to store and apply. Liquid paint is hazardous, emits volatile organic compounds, and is source of industrial pollution. Powder coatings don’t generate these harmful solvents or airborne pollutants, so they are a much “greener” choice.
.
.
.
.
Powder Coating = Happy Clients, Happy Earth. So we like it.

Remember those terrifying bunk bed ladders from your childhood? Us too, so we decided to go for something a little different to make the top bunk a little more comfortable and a lot less terrifying.

Making the most of this space without compromising comfort or aesthetics.

Dare to dream big.
.
.
.
As we approach our 10th anniversary next month, we look back at our small team who had the courage to dream big with a vision of something greater. We are now living that dream, and continue to help our clients live out theirs as well. (Nice pad, right?)
.
.

Happy Monday—we hope it’s a productive and inspiring one for you!

Taking a moment to reflect.
.
.
.
Looking back on when we built The Inn at @rancho_santana in 2015, we had no idea that it would become an award-winning hotel, being named Top 100 Hotels in the World in 2017 and 2018 by @travelandleisure. And while we’d like to take all of the credit, we know that The Inn’s success has been because of the people within @rancho_santana. Their team truly deserves the recognition and praise for making it the incredible destination that it has become.

Dramatic music for what will be a dramatic renovation.

This 2-bedroom home will soon expand to have 4, plus a much larger outdoor living space and pool. We’re excited to watch this transformation begin.

Every little step counts.
.
.
.
.
These new aluminum keychains are actually “Safety Keys” that were developed and designed as a tool for a simple and effective way to open doors and push buttons while eliminating exposure to potentially contaminated surfaces. Each key can be used on L and U-shaped door handles and can be used at high-traffic areas at work, shopping malls, public bathrooms, hospitals, universities, ATMs and elevators.
.
.
.
.
These keys are making their way to the United States today, and we look forward to knowing that each time someone uses their Safety Key, their one small act to lessen the spread can be multiplied by others’ acts to create positive, larger results. Every little step counts.
.
.
.
.
What one little step would make life better for you and those around you today? Get in the habit of taking small positive steps, and you’ll create big, lasting success.

Today we say “thank you” to Jose Isabel, who most everyone knows as “El Maestro Chavelo”.
.
.
.
.
El Maestro has been with Santa Ana Madera nearly since the beginning of our existence and if you’ve ever set foot in Rancho Santana, you’ve likely had the opportunity to marvel at his work. He’s been the construction foreman for some of the Ranch’s most incredible homes and spaces, like the award-winning 17-room inn and homes like this one where he stands in this photo.
.
.
.
.
Thank you, Don Chavelo, for your years of dedication, attention to detail, and (albeit sometimes somewhat defiant!) determination. You’re a legend to us.
.

Hoy damos gracias a José Isabel, a quien todo el mundo lo conoce cómo “el Maestro Chavelo.”

El Maestro ha trabajado en Santa Ana Madera casi desde el comienzo de nuestra existencia. Y si alguna vez ha puesto un pie en Rancho Santana, es probable que haya tenido la oportunidad de maravillarse de su trabajo. Ha sido el maestro de la construcción de algunas de las casas y espacios más increíbles del Rancho, como su hotel de 17 habitaciones y casas como esta donde se encuentra en esta foto.
.
.
.
.
Gracias, Don Chavelo, por sus años de dedicación, atención al detalle y (¡aunque a veces algo desafiante!) su determinación. Es una leyenda para nosotros.

Some of you may know that we are part of the incredible @inside14west family, which is based in Baltimore but serves the entire globe. We’re pretty lucky to be a part of that team because they provide us with guidance on strategically navigating through our challenges — both positively and productively — with one of the leading values of the company that creative thinking, exploration, new ideas and opinions are ways in which both our organization and individual members of the team will continue to grow and thrive. We couldn’t agree more.

While we may not be traveling internationally right now, our furniture certainly is. .
.
.
.
Here’s a shot of a gorgeous custom 14-person table and chairs for a project for St. Augustine’s @culinary_outfitters where we fabricated and shipped just over 200 pieces from Nicaragua to Florida for their restaurant. Culinary Outfitters shares the same values and interest as Santa Ana Madera in sustainability and using unique, exotic and organic materials, which is why (as always) each piece of furniture was made of wood from responsibly-harvested forests and certified by the Nicaraguan Forestry Department.
.
.
.
.
Perhaps not right now, but hopefully in the near future, we look forward to the day that these chairs are filled with friends and family, the table is adorned with incredible food, and the room is full of laughter and joy. More photos to come soon of this fun project.

It’s rare in modern times to have the opportunity to build a 16th century-style chapel, so when we were presented with the challenge we eagerly accepted. .
.
.
.
.
Over a period of 14 months of construction and with more than 60 collaborators, we built Capilla Santa Ana, a 2,700-square-foot space along with 32 custom pews, 12 sconces, 8 wall-mounted candle holders, 5 chandeliers, an altar and two 500+ pound doors. We imported incredible stained glass windows from an old church in Maryland and a 440-pound bell from Mexico. We installed a custom dogwood inlay piece by piece and crafted a unique fountain that sits in the 3,000-square-foot plaza in front of the chapel. The aged look of the new structure is created by the locally-mined and hand-cut stone facade alongside the hand-mixed, Venentian-style plaster, and reclaimed and hand-hewed ceiling beams. Built and designed by Santa Ana Madera with an appreciation for the mixture of the Pacific Ocean view and @Rancho_Santana’s incredible terrain, it’s safe to say that this place is truly one-of-a-kind. .

At Santa Ana Madera we take pride in the combination of our skilled craftsmen, the use of sustainable woods, and our focus on creating pieces that reflect our clients’ styles and tastes. .
.
.
.
This is Milton, one of our master carpenters, working alongside Jony. Within our wood shop we have several different levels of woodworkers, and while most of our staff arrive on their first day of work at Santa Ana Madera with a general skillset, we take it slowly, day-by-day to educate, train, and hone their craft eventually to become masters. And beyond teaching the technical aspects of woodworking, we aim to foster an approach to furniture that consistently balances beauty, comfort and durability. .

If you’ve visited our shop or have watched our stories, you’ve likely fallen a bit in love with Bamba; we love her, too. In fact, we love all of our furry friends, which is why we want to support @rancho_santana, @funlimon and @nicavets’ veterinary clinic this Saturday at FunLimón, where services will be provided free of charge to the animals of our surrounding communities. Reach out directly to @animalwellness_tola to learn more about how you can help or donate to this incredible and necessary cause. .
