Custom-Made Barnwood Hutch featured in Flea Market Style… Again!

For two straight quarters in 2014, we have been featured in Flea Market Style Magazine for our reclaimed barnwood furniture. We couldn’t be more thrilled! Labeled as “One of a Kind”, an Amish-made barnwood hutch is beautifully displayed with other barnwood-style products for your home.

Being that our reclaimed barnwood hutches are custom-made, we’d like to take a moment to elaborate on the various styles available. Let us help inspire you to create your own custom-made hutch.

Amish-Made Barnwood Hutches

There are so many different ways to create your own reclaimed barnwood hutch. We offer a large selection of paint colors and stains for barnwood furniture, which is one way to customize one of our hutches to match your personal style.

Even more so, maybe you’d like glass on the doors to display your china, or maybe you’d prefer to have no glass present and use the barnwood hutch strictly as storage. Either way, every Amish-made barnwood hutch is made locally with attention given to that piece specifically until it’s completely finished and delivered to you.

“Christmas in July”: Celebrate with Barnwood Tables for your Holiday Gathering

Now, we know you’re probably having fun in the sun, and we’re definitely not trying to rush along these beautiful summer months, but we want to get a little festive. So without further ado, we’d like to invite you to celebrate “Christmas in July” with us.

Reclaimed Barnwood Tables that Keep on Giving

It seems that every year the fall and winter holidays we all love are a whirlwind of turkey, pies and a lot of shopping. And, if you’re anything like us, a lot of time is spent at the kitchen table. We cook there, clean there, wrap there and sit down after it’s all done to unwind with a cup of hot cocoa and reminisce about the holiday fun and madness.

Our reclaimed barnwood table is what always keeps us coming together and we want you to be able to enjoy your holiday gathering as much as we do.

Get Creative with a Barnwood Outdoor Hutch

You don’t need to keep a reclaimed barnwood hutch indoors. Make it into a outdoor hutch by adding it to your patio. When entertaining, a hutch used outdoors can serve as a nice buffet table. For everyday use, consider placing your outdoor hutch near the pool to store pool toys, towels or keep chlorine in a safe place.

We offer a wide selection of paint colors and wood stain options so you can match your outdoor barnwood hutch to the rest of your outdoor decor.

Reclaimed Barnwood Wedding Furniture: “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue”

We know planning a wedding can be a stressful process, but selecting the decor for your special day doesn’t have to be one of the stress points. We suggest considering the incorporation of one-of-a-kind reclaimed barnwood furniture pieces to make the perfect type of statement during your wedding.

Considering the popular wedding phrase, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,” the idea of barnwood wedding furniture present on your big day will fit right in.

    • Something old…Reclaimed barnwood is processed wood that’s retrieved from its original use and salvaged.

 

    • Something new…The wood being repurposed allows for the creation of new furniture that can be customized to your specifications.

 

    • Something borrowed…Refer back to “something old” and further note that the process of creating the furniture results in less trees getting chopped down, which means there’s an element of sustainability in each piece.

 

    • Something blue…With reclaimed wood you can pick from different paint colors and stains, and get your wedding furniture finished in the style you want (even if that means you’d like blue barnwood tables).

How a Reclaimed Kitchen Island Can Enhance Your Home

Rustic Kitchen IslandOne of the most popular additions that homeowners buy for their house is a rustic kitchen island. There are various reasons why people buy kitchen islands.

1. Adding counter space. One big criticism that homeowners have about their home is the lack of counter space. A barnwood kitchen island is a solution that provides the added counter space needed for the cook who needs a place to chop their vegetables or put a breadbasket.

2. Adding storage space. The lack of cabinet space is another big criticism that homeowners complain about regarding their kitchen. When purchasing a reclaimed wood kitchen island, you’ll have the option to get the style of storage space you want. These islands can come with small drawers as a place to put recipes or takeout menus and bigger spaces where you can put appliances or pots and pans not in use.

3. Adding a seating option. For many families, cooking is quality time that’s cherished for a lifetime. Standing on your feet all day isn’t as memorable, which is why kitchen islands are designed to fit reclaimed wood stools, making the cooking process as painless as possible. Family members or friends who are not fond of cooking can also take a seat and join the conversation.

4. Providing a different vibe. If you have an island that doesn’t match the décor that you want in your kitchen, then considering a piece of our Amish furniture could be a good option. If you want a more rustic yet elegant look, find the wood that matches your kitchen cabinets and base your island around that.

Advice on Buying a Kitchen Island

Before you spend money on a kitchen island, we have a few suggestions. First, make sure you consult everyone responsible for big purchasing decisions in the household. Second, you should measure the space you have available to ensure that you invest on one that’s not too large.

Finally, figure out what functionality you’re looking for in your kitchen island. This will be an investment similar to your couch: it has to be something that you’re really comfortable with and will want in your home for years to come.

We offer custom-made Amish kitchen islands, so feel free to get in touch with us if you’re just starting your search or if you’re having trouble finding what you’re looking for!
