Redecorating Your Home With Traditional American Made Furnishings
Redecorating your home has always been a very pleasant and fun experience for most of us; it is a time for renewal and refreshment. This is the time when you can start with a blank canvas and create each room in your home in the image that is in your mind. For most of us this means more than just a fresh coat of paint or new wallpaper and curtains, this only scratches the surface of what we have in mind for the new look we are trying to achieve for our home.
It means that this is the chance for us to buy new furniture and decorative items for each room in our home. Some choose to concentrate on a single room, while others go for the complete overhaul and go from one end to the other. In either case it means being able to find the items you need to create that new look at an affordable price.
For those that want to use furniture made in the USA, the reality is that the number of furniture manufacturers in the US has declined significantly in the last two or three decades as offshore companies have flooded our markets with their products. Many of these products are replicas of traditional American styles such as Shaker furniture, but are made from inferior woods and particle board instead of real hardwoods.
While this type of furniture might work well for the dorm room or when you are first starting out in life, when the time comes to decorate your home with furniture that you can be proud of, you need something better. Unfortunately if you go out and look in your local department stores, you are going to find poor quality imported products that are not what you are looking for.
You can go to your local furniture store and be faced with overpriced furniture that may or may not be made in a foreign country. Much of this furniture is still made from veneered particle board; it is just made from higher quality particle board and veneer. Again this is not likely to be what you are looking for and it is not worth the money that you are going to end up paying for it.
Does this mean that you can no longer buy furniture made in the USA that is handcrafted from real hardwoods and is going to both be of superior quality and be affordable? Fortunately, it does not as you will find if you shop at Sturbridge Yankee. For over 50 years they have been supplying Americans with quality hand crafted products in true American traditional styles.
If you are looking for traditional Shaker style furniture such as a Shaker bookcase for your office or a set of ladderback chairs for your dining room, you will find them in our online catalog. More than this, you will find that in true American tradition; most of the items we sell are made in our factory right here in Maine.
Imagine being able to refurnish your kitchen with a set of Windsor stools that swivel so that your children do not end up scratching your brand new hardwood floors sliding them in and out at the breakfast bar. Swivel stools have always been popular and this is one of the biggest reasons. Our selection of swivel stools are made from real hardwoods and not from pressed sawdust with a veneer over the top to make them look good. They are all built to withstand years of watching your children grow up.
If you are redecorating your home in true American country style, you will find that we have a selection of braided rugs that will look fantastic in any room of the house. Add a Shaker peg rack near the door for coats and a Farmhouse or Windsor bench in your living room for looks and style and you are well on your way. In our online catalog you will find everything you need to create and complete that look of country charm you have been dreaming of.
The workshops at Sturbridge Yankee were established in 1953 built in a 150 year old mill and then moved to their new location in 1981. In their online showroom, you will find a wealth of Americana that you can use to redecorate your home in a variety of different themes. For extra savings you can visit their online discount outlet where you can save up to 70% on special items and closeouts.
