How to pick a Farmhouse Barnwood Table for your Holiday Dinner

Here are some tips on picking the right Farmhouse style table for your Hoilday Dinner

How to pick a Farmhouse Barnwood Table for your Holiday Dinner

How to Pick a Barnwood Table for the Holidays

Your dining table will be the center of attention for your cookie swaps, Friendsgiving, family feasts and cocktail hours. Our barnwood farm house tables are loved for creating a warm and cozy dining setting while still staying true to the classic and traditional styles we have always treasured.

1. Room size: First, measure the room where the  barn wood farm house table will go. You want to make sure the table will fit comfortably, without hitting any walls. In addition, choose a table width that allows everyone to pass plates around. You know everybody will be eager to eat all the delicious holiday trimmings, so you don’t want anything getting in the way.

2. Guest count: Next, take the guest count into consideration. On average how many people will be attending some of your holiday festivities? You want to make sure everyone has enough elbowroom when sitting down for a meal.

3. Table aesthetic: Lastly, you’ll need to decide on the shape of table that will work best for your home. A round table opens up conversation, where as a rectangle table may seat more.

 

We always have a variety of tables already made and in stock. We suggest taking a look at our reclaimed barnwood tables listed on the “In-Stock Unfinished Furniture” and “In-Stock Finished Specials” pages of our website.

Contact us if you have any questions, we’d be glad to help!

Bring Home Pantone’s Color of the Year: Greenery

Bring Home Pantone’s Color of the Year: Greenery

 

It happens every year; Pantone selects its Color of the Year. For 2017 one of our favorite colors was selected – Greenery.

Greenery symbolizes new beginnings. Pantone states that it’s “illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.”

Love this color, too? Incorporating Greenery into your home, apartment, or office is simple. Here’s what we’ve been doing in our Old Barn Star home.

 

Welcome Your Guests

As the saying goes, “first impressions mean everything”.

We love the look of a freshly painted green front door and are in the process of painting ours! We can’t wait to see our guests’ faces as we welcome them into our home with this fresh, bright color.

Accents, Décor, and More

From accent pillows, to picture frames, and even plants, you can add Pantone’s Color of the Year into every space with ease.

We just redid our guest bedroom with greenery spotted on the pillowcases and lightly painted on the room’s vanity.

In our main living area we like to keep fresh flowers that include heavy greens with one pop of color. It such a simple (and inexpensive) way to switch up your décor.

Bring Home Pantone’s Color of the Year: Greenery

If you’re looking to make a bigger change, we have beautiful handcrafted barnwood tables that can be painted or stained with any color you’d like.

We recently created this piece for our customer and we think Pantone would love it. What do you think?

Design Tip: Decorating with Barnwood Chairs

When you begin decorating or redecorating your home, how much time is spent considering new chairs? Whether in your kitchen, dinning room, office, or other living spaces, barnwood chairs can be the solution to completely pulling together the look of a room.

Customize with Colors and Accents

Whether you need a pop of color to break things up or you’re looking to match the color scheme of a room, a chair is a fun and easy way to incorporate such colors.

We recommend painting a chair or barnwood stool with a bold color for an eye-catching surprise, or try a more sublet approach by incorporating all the colors of the room into a single chair.

Add Some Rustic Flair

Reclaimed oak chairs and stools can completely transform the look and feel of a room in your home or office. Selecting various stains and finishes can take a barnwood chair from dull to full of life in just a coat or two!

The Possibilities are Endless

Who’s to say that you need six traditional chairs around a table? Switch things up by getting three chairs for one side and a bench for another.

Feeling a little more adventurous? Don’t get a single matching chair for your dinning area. People will be inspired by the originality!

Trendy Spring Time Ideas for the Home – Design, Cleaning, and More!

Warmer days are on the horizon! Are you as excited as us? We’re thinking yes!

A new season always brings new design inspirations and we love getting in on them. The truth is, though, that home decorating is expensive and time consuming. So how do you “keep up with the Jones’s” without breaking the bank?

We are sharing some of our favorite tips when we’re feeling a little bored with our space.

Bring in Flowers and Plants

Flowers are a natural and easy way to add a new color in any room, whenever you want. Not to mention – they smell beautiful and are inexpensive! Want to get in on the latest trend? Grab a succulent to place on your living room coffee table. It’s easy to care for and sure to be a hit!

Add a New Coat of Paint

Whether on an accent wall or your favorite barn wood table, a fresh coat of paint is the first step in giving your space a brand new feel. Make it a simple project with some spray paint or step it up a notch with some chalk paint, which gives your furniture a cool matte finish.

Rearrange What You Own

Who’s to say that awesome end table in the living room can’t serve as a nightstand in the bedroom? Take inventory of the pieces you already own and rearrange them to update the look and feel of your home for free!

Clean Your Reclaimed Barn Wood Furniture

Once you’re satisfied with your updated layout and look in your home, be sure to properly clean your barn wood furniture.

Some items to avoid when cleaning our barn wood include:

  • Silicone-based cleaning or polishing products
  • Harsh chemicals such as ammonia, bleach
  • Abrasive powders, pads, or steel wools
  • Sponges or dishcloths that have been used to clean food or may contain oils
