King's Living Room

A sneak peek of Mr and Mrs Kings house and living room. 

The bare bones of a room is four walls a floor and a ceiling.  

It is an art and takes skill to turn a blank space into a place where someone wants to live. 

Smart design + beautiful furnishings + personal accents >>> define a home.  

When you drive down the cul-de-sac a shot of their house.   

The porch is spruced up with evergreens. 

 when you enter the house you step right into the living room. 

It just recently got a fresh coat of white paint (Simply White) and a new carpet.

I love how the old sentimental pieces accent the quality products as well.

The couches are a part of the Bentley collection from Kings Acres

Piece with so many drawers - from Great Uncle Jake's woodshop. 

Extend-a-Bench

If you love hosting people and struggle to find seating, let us recommend a bench that extends much like an extendable kitchen table.  

It doesn't take much space, but they can seat up to six adults. 

There are many styles available to fit any home. 

As all our furniture, they are available in multiple types of wood and stains to compliment your existing furniture or to complete the set you are currently ordering (or eyeballing)

Gingerbread Men Cookies

We have found the best gingerbread cookie dough recipe to date! 

and with a bit of imagination and frosting - They become their own personalities. 

 The week of Thanksgiving it just seemed fitting to make gingerbread men...so we did > and we fell in love with them.  They are the best, also having little helpers in the kitchen while making them certainly ups the cuteness factor. 

The recipe can be found on Taste of Home's website. Although we didn't follow the frosting recipe and stuck with a simple -er version I remember from my childhood. 

10x sugar with just enough milk to make the frosting the desired consistency. 

One of my favorite thing about this, if you can mix up a batch (or 3) wrap them up and chill in the fridge until you are ready to make some more cookies.  You can even freeze the dough for later although we've never done that because we have darling 3 year old who says..."mom, we should make cookies right now!"  before having breakfast. 

Make them today.

They are so delicious you'll have a hard time keeping your hands off of them! 

Simple Christmas

We were scrambling this past small business Saturday thanks to all our loyal customers - 

and we THANK you.  It is our pleasure to serve you, and we are grateful we have such a lovely group of people to provide quality furniture and home decor ideas. 

This is new to the showroom floor again.
Traditional Dining room set in Oak wood and Provincial Stain.  

 I can't help but love a very simple red and white Christmas paired with a simple soft needle pine green for accents. 

The red ticking Candy cane satchel is American made and has the lovely-est peppermint scent. 

Also available in a green ticking Christmas Tree with a evergreen scent. 

Ken's Garden & Terrain

Thanksgiving week the ladies of my husband family took a trip to Terrain and did a bit of shopping in the area. I always fall even more in love with plants when I walk through their showroom, everything is so tastefully arranged.

 The place is an experience. 

and as much as I adore Terrain, 

when I come back home - I feel the need to swing by Ken's Garden.

If you are in the area, you should check them out! They are a small (although not too small) greenhouse with friendly staff and the high quality plants.  

In the winter they do a train display that always has our boys begging to go back to Ken's.

They have their open house the same weekend as King's Homestead and the rest of the Kitchen Kettle Village - so a trip to Lancaster the first weekend in December is a lovely idea. 

Customer Feature: Horst's Dining Room.

How beautiful is the Horst's dining room!?! Thank you for the lovely photo Anita! 

Biltmore Table paired with Cape Ann Chairs in Brown Maple wood with Asbury Stain.

Simple Christmas Vignette

We have the Christmas music playing, and are on a roll with Christmas decorating, and crafting simple Christmas arrangements that you can make in your very own homes. 

My current favorite is this Christmas Tree Vignette. 

The battery operated string of lights on a timer can take almost any arrangement from cute to absolutely darling. 

Beddys Zippered Bedding

When making your bed is a zip. It makes mornings easier. We love Beddy's for bunk beds yes, but also on bed with storage so you can easily access those drawers without shifting all the bedding. It makes it far too simple to make your bed in the morning - so there are no excuses. 

👦🏽👦🏼Bonus points if your children make the bed for you because it is so easy! 

Featuring: Cabin Creek king sized bed with under bed storage. 
Wood: Maple
Stain: Asbury
And chic white bedding from Beddy's

Dipietro's Kitchen

I just want to call this kitchen my own.
The gorgeous white cabinets are accented perfectly with the elegant Constance Bay Island painted black.   The Dipietro's provided their own top for the island so that it would match perfectly with their kitchen counters.  They did a lovely job choosing their island.

Old Cottage Bed

This beautiful bed is found in an octagon home right here in Lancaster County.

Rich Tobacco Stain.

Barrington Collection

Lena did a wonderful job redecorating the Barrington Collection.  The clean modern lines in the Barrington collection paired with several statement pieces add to the elegant feel of the room.

The Ivory/Quarry rug from the Kivi Collection from the Magnolia Home Line designed by Joanna Gaines adds a beautiful contrast to the dark stain of the bed; and would make it enjoyable to jump out of bed onto the soft rug. 

As with all our bed, the Barrington is available with or without underbed storage.  This collection can also be purchased with fabric or wooden panels on the headboard, providing a variety of different styles in the more modern realm. 

Bentley Sectional

Our most popular sofa and sectional in the showroom, due to it's versatility in sizing and style options.  

The Bentley sofa is comfortable and provides plenty of seating without being overpoweringly large. This sectional is only 92"x 94".  

 Each of our King Hickory couches comes in your choice of fabric and down pillows in the fabric of your choice.  

You can check out their website to see the variety of options and sizes.

Golden Apple Punch

After searching Pinterest for a while we finally came across Golden Apple Punch from Stone Gable Blog (check out the blog post it is loaded with beautiful photos). We tested it at our gender reveal party, and it passed the test for Open House.

We happily served it here in the showroom, and got raving reviews.   We adjusted the recipe slightly, because we preferred less ginger ale, but you could tweak it to fit your tastes too.

Sutter Mills Table

With the roughsawn top and breadboard ends, The Sutter Mills has been an attention grabber since we first put it in the showroom.  We have typically carried it in Rustic Cherry wood, and this time chose a Knotty Oak wood in a light stain - and are really enjoying the contrast.   

 The lighter stain really accent the rough sawn marks beautifully. 

No longer do you have to obsess about you brand new table being babied to keep all the scratches away...the extra scratches just add to the character and help you remember the special moments happening around your table.

Farm House Table

You know the saying, "go big or go home"?

Well, with this table you get to take big home with you. 

This table has a stately presence with a thick top and over-sized legs.  

The Vienna Premium Chairs have a classic look with fabulous lumbar support making it one of the most comfortable in the showroom. 

The Extendable benches won't take up too much space in your home.  They are available in several sizes 3'-6', 4'-8', 5'-10'; and work with the same as an extendable table,

Chestnut Live Edge Table

This one of a kind live edge table made from a Chestnut tree proudly displayed on a metal base is the newest table in the showroom.  

The imperfections in the slab of wood adds to the beauty of it. 

maple pumpkin custard

A favorite fall recipe for three reasons.

1. its so simple to make

2. it tastes like pumpkin pie without the crust (without the sugar)

3. they look so adorable in their little half pint jars, that you can't help but eat them right up. 

Honestly, you should go make it now! then let us know what you think.  

Pinewood & Posies

If you are a part of our weekly mailing list you should remember Pinewood & Posies I just emailed out about them saying that I would love to visit them. AND today we did!

The place took me a little by surprise because of the tiny sign out by the road, then there was a long driveway, and a building still a bit under construction - but there was a sign on the door letting us know we were at the right place.

 We went inside and they were very welcoming and gave the boys each a pair of trimmers (Alex used them under lots of supervision, he would have loved to cut every flower of right below the head)

They warned us that some of the pathways were muddy due to all the rain yesterday, but we were excited to be out and cutting our own flowers anyway. Boys and mud - What could be better in their minds? Cutting flowers while walking around in the mud!!!

Ryan chose a large variety of flowers not wanting more than one of each kind, and touring the whole garden.

Alex chose the colorful Zinnias and cut of many different ones quickly.

Both boys (and Mama) were quite please with our new flower location, just several minutes from work with lovely scenery on the way. 
When we were finished, she wrapped them in a wet paper towel and cellophane, and made them feel like they picked the most beautiful bouquets ever!

They also have two refrigerators with beautiful arrangements already made and ready to go.

We had an enjoyable experience, and I'm sure we'll be visiting here again several times this summer.

Pinewood & Posies

4547 White Oak Rd., Paradise, Pa 17562
Open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.
I just heard about a place locally that I can NOT wait to check out! It is a local florist only 5 miles from here. They have a 2-acre flower garden open that you can "pick your own" arrangements or buy an already arranged bouquet.

Guttenburg Bed with underbed Options.

Are you tight on space in your home? 

or would you just prefer a bit more storage space?

Under bed storage is a perfect solution. You can say goodbye to the plastic containers underneath your bed that are hard to get to and tend to make your room look a bit more cluttered.

With drawer storage underneath your bed you can have just as much space as you would with a dresser.  In fact, one side of this bed is larger than any dressers we have in the showroom. 

There are several different options for the sizing of the your under bed drawers you can opt for 

6 drawers

3 deep drawers 

These drawer units are available in several different bed styles as well, like the Breezewood Bed we currently have on our showroom floor.

Finishes

Customize your furniture with a variety of stylish choices
of Ohio Certified Stains. 

A well finished piece of furniture preserves the beauty of wood for the years to come. On our stain wall in the store we feature four types of wood including: Oak, Maple, Rustic Cherry, and Quartersawn White Oak. We also work with other woods such as, Hickory, Elm, and Walnut upon request.

Pictures cannot do the stain options justice, to get a better feel on how the stains actually look your best option is to come into the showroom and see them in person.  Each of the swatches can be pulled off the wall and taken the the piece of furniture you'd like in that stain to help you envision the piece that you design.  We will be happy to help you.
