Timpson Creek Gallery

Timps!"#k G$%y Treasures to Mirror Your Soul

Timpson Creek Gallery has maintained a customer centered approach from the day they opened their doors. Gallery owner, Cecile Thompson, in collaboration with her husband, Dwayne, and his Timpson Creek Millworks knew that they wanted to provide an experience different from other stores. Dwayne began creating one of a kind pieces constructed of natural materials often including local Mountain Laurel. Many of his creations are adorned with found treasures from his years of “acquiring”, as his collection developed from ordinary to extraordinary high-style rustic designs. Meanwhile, Cecile began searching the region for pieces to accent Timpson Creek Millworks furnishings and brought in complimentary antiques, home décor, local art and accessories that would become part of the Timpson Creek experience.

With more than 38 years in the Gallery, Cecile has seen trends come and go. She holds on to the ones she loves and brings them through to meet and marry with the next. She has ventured beyond the region into the whole of the United States and into Europe to bring the ÄULZ[HU[PX\LZM\YUP[\YLHUK\WOVSZ[LY`MHIYPJZHUKLTILSSPZOTLU[Z[V9HI\U*V\U[`;OLZLWYVJ\YLTLU[ZOH]LHSSV^LK*LJPSL[VWYV]PKL her clients an eclectic custom home through Timpson Creek Gallery’s interior decorating service.
