I Love New York! (singing the jingle)

Just got back from the big apple and surrounding counties.  We love our NY customers!  I think I can see one of my repeat customers' apartments from here...

What's your favorite flower?

Waiting, waiting, waiting...  It's almost time for the sunflowers to burst into bloom and shine their round, bright faces up to the Creator's sun!  Sunflowers are my fave flower.  What's yours?

Cat in the Barnwood Mirror

Here's my big baby, Cloud.  He spends his days lounging outside of our backdoor.  He is usually chooses to lay immediately outside of the door to get as much attention as possible from us as we make constant trips from the backdoor to the furniture shop.  He gets what he wants.

Mirror, mirror, who is that on the wall?  It's Cloud.  Little did we know he made it into this shot of our barn wood mirror.

Our Blog's Wood Background Story

This is the story behind our blog background.  This is our barn wood after is has been gently removed by hand from barns that could have easily been filling landfills or even burned.  Sad, right?  We have saved it from it's demise.  Now it's waiting to be made into something wonderful,
 reclaimed, beautiful, and historical just for you!

Happy Birthday Gus!

Happy Birthday to my boy, Gus.  He turned 23 years this week!

Gus is the Vanna White of my business.  Isn't he a handsome model for this equestrian themed hall tree?  That' s his friend, Harry stealing the shot.

  He loves to have company, at all times, in his pasture.  Meet Lucy, she and Gus are admiring this awesome sideboard.

Gus would like to invite you to come to our farm to see more of our reclaimed barn wood pieces.  Visit our website for an appointment at furniturefromthebarn.com.

My Favorite Color

Armoires are such a versatile and functional piece of furniture.  Use it in a living, dining, kitchen, bedroom, anywhere. This is one of my all time favorites.  Anything blue quickly becomes my favorite.  What's your favorite color?

Inside there's plenty of room for your treasures, sweaters, blankets, collections , you decide.

What a popular color!  Armoire Milk Painted in Turquoise with Matching Crystal Knobs.  (Just noticing how beautiful it looks against the creamy yellow walls in our showroom.)

The Farm Table

furniturefromthebarn.com is your source for the perfect farm table.  These timeless pieces of Americana stand the test of time, from year to year and generation to generation.  It's the hardest working piece of furniture in your home.  It's the location of yummy, family meal gatherings, coffee and a chat with a friend, school projects, and homework. The farm house table is truly a part of your family.  


The reclaimed barn wood farm tables are available in chestnut, oak, and pine.  Our chestnut wood was harvested before the blight killed the American chestnut tree in the early 1900's.  This historical quality of chestnut has made this farm table one of our most popular items. The wood is very hard and heavy  with warm brown tones.

We hand-select each board for age, distress, worm holes, saw marks, and refining. Hand planing is also available.  Most customers choose a simple finish of tung oil to bring out the simple beauty of the chestnut.  Feel free to make the choice yours.

This rustic table made from reclaimed, chestnut, barn wood has optional, removable company boards  for those times when you need just a little more elbow room 'round your table.

Has spring sprung?

 Here in the mid-Atlantic portion of the USA, the weather has been mild all winter.  How about in your neck of the woods?  We have averaged about 50 degrees most days.  We have had only two snows, which did not accumulate to much and did not close the schools (sorry to my niece and nephew).  My crocuses are up and the daffodils are so patiently awaiting to burst open.  

The mild temps are coaxing out  customers to  visit scenic southern Chester County, PA to our showroom.  We are delighted to welcome customers, shoppers, and the curious to our farm to see what's happening here at Furniture From The Barn.  However, if you are not able to visit our location because you live afar, as some of our recent customers are from  Fargo, ND, or San Diego, CA, Bristol, ME, Fort Worth, TX, Fernandina Beach, FL then we are more than happy to accommodate you via phone, 610 932-1122 and email kelly@furniturefromthebarn.com.

Check out our website, furniturefromthebarn.com to see what is trending in Eco-friendly furniture.  Lately, our most popular items are beds!  We have  requests almost daily.  Is it National Bed Month? ( Mental note, "Add National Bed Month to calendar.") We can make any size bed, in any style, and in any finish.   Platform beds with or without drawers and traditional with foot-boards and side rails are available.  Of course, nightstands are the perfect compliment.  Yup, we make those too.  You can choose nightstands with doors, shelves, or drawers or a combination.
