We don't shop for rooms. We build them.

Design × Global Sourcing × Custom Manufacturing

Dallas–Fort Worth · Working directly with makers worldwide

We design it. We source it. We make it. We bring it home. Somewhere in the world, someone can make almost anything. Our job is finding them, then getting closer than a catalog ever lets you.

    Design

    Rooms specified to the piece, not chosen from what happens to be in stock.

  2. Manufacturer showroom in Guangdong during a factory visit 02

    Source

    Direct relationships with factories and workshops, evaluated in person.

  3. Lounge chair being checked on a workshop floor 03

    Manufacture

    Modified or made new. Sampling, production and inspection, all one thread.

  4. Finished high-rise living room 04

    Deliver

    Freight, customs, warehouse, installation. Handled, start to finish.

A finished downtown Dallas high-rise. Furniture, lighting and fixtures sourced and made for the project.

The finished roomis only half the story.

Where it starts. A factory floor in Guangdong, on a sourcing visit.

The other half happens on factory floors, in sample rooms, at trade fairs and in shipping yards. We're there for it, so our clients don't have to be.

Source. Modify. Make.

Source

We look at how a thing is actually built before we care how it's styled. The weave, the frame, the foam, the hardware.

Modify

An existing piece is a starting point. Dimensions, finish, upholstery and construction change to suit the room.

Make

Sampling, approval, production, inspection. Then it's packed the way it needs to be to cross an ocean intact.

Then bring it home.

Delivered, installed, done. Freight, customs, warehouse and white-glove delivery are part of the job, not an afterthought handed to the client.

Downtown Dallas high-rise. Full furnish: indoor, outdoor, lighting and fixtures.

The Source Book

A private, editorial library of what we can source, modify and make: seating, casegoods, lighting, stone, kitchen and bath, outdoor, hardware and hospitality product. Not a store. A starting point for a conversation about your project.

Start a project Full specifications, lead times and pricing are shared per project.

Public and client views show what a piece is and what can change about it. Maker identity and factory pricing stay private.

Every entry begins as something we've seen, handled or made. Nothing in the book is a stock listing pulled from elsewhere.

Designers, builders, developers and boutique hospitality can source through the book on a trade basis.

Jessica Wynne Thomas · Founder & Creative Director

She went to where things are made.

Jessica started The Bad BHouse because the rooms she wanted to build didn't exist in showrooms. So she went to the source: factories in Guangdong, sample rooms, trade fairs, and the long conversations with makers that turn a good idea into a finished, delivered piece.

She designs, she sources, she stands on the factory floor, and she brings it home. The Bad BHouse is that whole line of work under one roof, for clients who want something they cannot simply buy.
