[post_content] => Set up a traditional style farmhouse dining room table in your home and feel like you have finally inherited the antique farmhouse of your dreams. No matter if you live in an urban loft or a New England cape in the suburbs, incorporating a farmhouse table into your floor plan instantly lends a feeling of comfortable hospitality and unending plenty.
Our featured farmhouse dining room impresses with its inherent checks and balances; dark against light, formal against relaxed and grounded against airy.
Dark and Light
An unquestionably commanding framework is set with dark walnut stained dining chairs and a matching farmhouse trestle table. But what keeps this dining room from getting bogged down with all dark tones is the interplay with the room’s crisp, white elements - the glossy painted ceiling, trim work, wainscoting and chair rail, as well as the white candles, flowers and china. Touches of white as fresh as newly pressed country table linens give an instant lift to spirits.
Formal and Relaxed
One of the easiest and least expensive ways to express individuality in your dining room is through seating choices. Opting for rush seats on these otherwise elegantly turned dining chairs reveals a soft spot for rustic charm. Placing overstuffed, white upholstered host chairs at either end of the table brings a casual feel to the dining room that using all the same chairs would not achieve. The choice of white for the dining chair fabric again lightens things up and also conveys a carefree attitude toward entertaining.
Grounded and Airy
Naturally, the focal point of any dining room is the dining table and chairs, and the darkly handsome pieces in this farmhouse dining room are no exception. But they amiably share the show with all of the other more ethereal elements begging for your attention: the antique botanical prints of lacy leaves and berries, the strong yet delicate blown glass lighting fixtures and the bounty of flowers gracing the table settings. Washing over the whole scene is the light pouring through the large French doors, compelling you to pull up a chair in the moment.
In short, this gracious farmhouse dining room cannot be accused of taking itself too seriously.
Historically Speaking
The trestle table is one of the oldest styles of dining table. With its narrow central structure, trestles were easy to transport, set up and take down. It is also said that trestle tables made sense as people would all sit on one side and be served by one person moving along the opposite side, Additionally, the trestle table, which could quickly and easily be flipped onto its side, was also used as a way to block the onslaught of any intruder who may choose to visit at mealtime in the uneasy days of Medieval Europe.
In the market for a farmhouse table?
We offer many styles of farmhouse table, but the foremost benefit of trestle tables is that they are great for tight seating requirements and provide more comfortable seating because the apron required for tables with legs is eliminated.
All of our hand-made, hand-finished farmhouse trestle table offerings are made in the USA, fully customizable and come in an array of stains, paints and finishes.
Here are a few:
Our Piedmont Country Farm Trestle Table with classic trestle base is one of our most popular farmhouse trestle tables. It is an authentic farm-style table custom built for you with either a planked or seamless top. Constructed with “slow-growth” Appalachian Pine, a renewable resource.
Shown in Blackberry paint over Chestnut stain.
Our Sheffield Barn Wood Trestle Table is a good example of a double pedestal farmhouse trestle table. A true work of art, it is hand-made of wood recycled from old barn boards. Part of our collection of Reclaimed Barn Wood Tables, all bench-built in standard old pine or old oak.Shown with Honey stain top with Tomato over Snow painted base.
The contemporary Moosehead Lake Trestle Table with an inverted trestle and dramatic sweeping curves framing the pedestals is a contemporary version of a traditional farmhouse table. Crafted from dense kiln-dried solid American maple and poplar hardwoods. Table tops are made of solid wood boards joined together in a seamless surface; stained tops are made of maple and standard painted tops are poplar.

The overstuffed white host chairs bring in a casual feel to the more formal dining room chairs and table. The rich mahogany finish creates a stark contrast to the crisp white elements of the plush chairs, wainscoting, and framed ceiling. The large French doors allow the light to pour in creating an indoor/outdoor dining setting. The botanical prints and greenery accents also help to bring the outdoors in.

[post_content] => Choosing a farmhouse table for your home can feel as momentous and personal as picking out a piece of art or even your wedding outfit. Aside from the creative choices involved, such as picking paint or stain colors, there are some basic practical considerations for everyday functionality.
1. What size farmhouse table do I need?
The ideal dining table size for you depends upon the number of people you seat most days, as well as the size of your room or dining area.
This chart shows recommended table sizes based upon number of people for both round tables and rectangular tables with a width of 36”- 42”.
# of people
Seats comfortably
Workable size
4
4' rect / 48" round
42" round
6
6' rect / 60" round
5' rect / 54" round
8
8' rect / 72" round
7' rect / 66" round
10
10' rect
9' rect
Extensions?
If you entertain often, company board extensions are available for most of our farmhouse tables. They slide into the ends of the table to maintain the look of the long planks used in traditional farmhouse tables and to avoid a split in the center. A pair of extensions increases the size of your dining table by 3 feet - space for four more guests.
Adequate clearance?
Allow a clearance of 36”around your table for walking and pulling out chairs (the minimum without feeling too tight is 27”). Make sure that your dining chairs or benches will fit comfortably around your new table, allowing 2-6” between chairs. If you have a banquette, also consider either a trestle or pedestal base for your table to avoid interference with a table leg.
For additional information, please see our Dining Table Seating Guide.
2. What kind of wood should I choose for the top of my farmhouse table?
Selecting a type of wood for your farmhouse table involves striking a balance between appearance, durability and cost.
Appearance
For a farmhouse table with individual character, reclaimed wood such as pine and oak is a popular choice. Other woods, such as maple or new pine, will give your table a classic farmhouse look without rustic details like distressing.
Wood with beautiful graining, such as oak, should be shown off with a stained or waxed finish. If you prefer your table painted, choose a wood with fewer knots (like poplar or maple) for no show-through.
Durability
If you are concerned with keeping the everyday wear of your table to a minimum, consider the hardness of the wood you choose. Softer woods, such as new pine or poplar, can be more susceptible to dings.
Here is a rough guide to the hardness of different woods by density:
New Pine Poplar Old Pine Maple Oak
Soft ---------------------------------------------- Medium ------------------------------------------ Hard
Cost
For farmhouse tables, the harder the wood, the higher the cost. Pine and poplar are the least expensive woods while oak costs considerably more. Reclaimed (old) wood tables, which are more durable than those made from new pine, are also less expensive than hardwood tables.
Based upon our 17 years of experience designing custom farmhouse tables, the most popular wood choices remain pine, old (reclaimed) pine and maple.
3. What is the most durable finish for the top of my farmhouse table?
A clear top coat over either a stained or painted finish is the most durable surface for a farmhouse table top. Remember that any major surface damage to this finish may require professional repair – or just leave the marks to increase the character of the table top.
Whatever finish you choose for your farmhouse table, we recommend using place mats, coasters and hot pads to keep it free of water rings or burn marks.
4. How do I care for my farmhouse table?
The top of your farmhouse table is easy to maintain – clean with a damp sponge and dry with a clean, soft cloth. DO NOT USE CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS (Pledge, 409, nail polish removers, etc).
For small dings or scratches on painted surfaces, touch up paint (not stain) is available from us. A stain from your local hardware store in a similar color to your table finish can fix minor dings or scratches on stained tables, but major repairs or refinishing should be left to a professional.
Only apply wax touch-ups (we can provide brand information) if you have a table with a waxed finish and want to freshen the look periodically. Do not sand before applying wax, then let dry and then buff off with clean, dry, soft cloth.

A farmhouse kitchen is the ultimate area to relax and eat meals in the home. It’s an open-concept space in which families can get together and celebrate. But what elements are found in farmhouse kitchens? And how can you create the ideal farmhouse kitchen in your home? In this latest post, we’re highlighting five examples of features you’ll find in the classic farmhouse kitchen.
What to Consider When Shopping for Farmhouse Kitchen Products
Before reviewing the latest items matching the farmhouse kitchen aesthetic, you must keep some considerations in mind. Below are several key questions to help you when making the decision.
Does the Product Match the Colors of My Kitchen?
When adding new products to your kitchen, take the time to review the exact colors of each item, and ensure the colors match the distinct style of your kitchen. You can speak with the sales team directly to learn more about the color-matching process. This can be important to unifying the current look of the kitchen and achieving your design goals.
Can the Item Be Easily Integrated?
When most people are shopping for new feature items in their kitchen, they aren’t considering the process of integrating the new item. A new sink might be the ideal choice for improving the kitchen’s design. But how much work is involved in getting the sink into the kitchen and installing it?
Will the New Feature Offer Lasting Value?
While farmhouse kitchen styles tend to remain similar over many years, you may find that some new additions are simply a recent trend. Take the time to speak with the experts and find out about the lasting value a new addition can bring to life in your farmhouse.
Here are five distinct farmhouse kitchen design elements you might want to add to your home.
1. Exposed Shelving and Cabinetry
The typical farmhouse kitchen will feature exposed shelving cabinetry, which makes the room feel more open and welcoming. Make sure that exposed shelving is near to natural light sources so that you can expand upon the feeling of openness. Exposed shelving and cabinetry take up less visual space, so they make the room seem larger and the ceilings appear higher and the walls further apart.
2. The Farmhouse Sink
The farmhouse sink harkens back to a time when the kitchen was the hub of all activity within the home. They offer the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. The traditional farmhouse sink is noted for its depth and width, as well as its apron, which juts out slightly from the countertop. In the farmhouse kitchen layout, the sink typically contrasts in color from the rest of the countertop.
3. Free-Standing Cabinets
As well as being exposed to the light, farmhouse kitchen cabinets are typically freestanding. That's because space was limited back when the farmhouses were traditionally built, and so homeowners added freestanding features for additional storage. A freestanding cabinet is usually placed against a wall and out of the way to enhance traffic flow in the kitchen.
4. Hardwood Flooring
One of the standout features in many farmhouse kitchens is hardwood flooring. It will look impeccable whether you go for a distressed style or a more natural look. One of the key benefits of using hardwood flooring is that it’s easy to clean. And even wear and tear on the floor will add to the vintage appeal of the space. Many homeowners are now substituting natural wood with ceramic or vinyl for the same aesthetic without the associated maintenance or cost.
5. Traditional Lighting
Traditional farmhouse lighting can become the centerpiece of the room. Simple lighting additions such as Edison bulbs can help that classic style resonate. These features often look better when hanging down into the room. Using a drop-down fixture above your farm table will provide the perfect lighting conditions to prep and eat meals.

[post_content] => Today's renewed interest in self-reliance through gardening means that your kitchen probably serves as a daily way station for fresh essential herbs, fruits, and veggies, en route from your modern victory garden to your dining table. Creating meals is more than enjoyable when your kitchen is light, bright, and trimly stocked with everything you need within handy reach. An inspirational kitchen like the one pictured here, which is big on function but small on space, is all the more impressive as it is actually part of a tiny 200 square foot home.Through just a few simple style decisions - heavy reliance on white surfaces, use of extra windows and placement of open, accessible shelving rather than cabinetry - a seeming abundance of elbow room welcomes the eye. The mixed media walls, done in gleaming white subway tiles as well as both rustic, unfinished and painted white barn board, deftly create a hybrid farmhouse cottage kitchen. And the contrasting vibrant color of the produce and plants in almost every nook make the roomscape anything but a whitewash.

[post_content] => Life in an apartment or an urban space can still hold the charm of the country when cottage style elements are given free rein. White painted barnboard walls and unfinished wood floors provide a clean backdrop for this light and bright urban cottage style dining room. Recessed nooks in whitewashed brick outfitted with rustic wooden shelves create an informal area for storing dishes, herbs and pottery. Displaying everyday staples such as crusty bread, terra cotta vessels and bottles of wine as part of the overall decor taps into a comfortingly familiar utilitarian beauty.Familiar anchors of classic cottage style such as a reclaimed barnwood table and a painted sideboard pair with cafe chairs in untraditional springtime hues to individualize this cheery dining room. Dropped down on a lengthy chain, a pendant light hovers just above the wood dining table to create an cozy space despite the soaring ceiling. A half wall with pass-through shelves creates a continuity with the neighboring room while still preserving an intimate cottage floor plan.

Around the holidays it's easy to be overwhelmed by traditional red, green and white: wherever you look there is a red velvet throw pillow, a shiny green tree skirt or a candy cane striped tablecloth. For mental health as well as variety, it can be good to inject the mid-winter scene with alternative colors. We love our Metal Bistro chairs for this purpose - they are lightweight, versatile and can be brought out at a moment's notice. Paired with twinkling white lights and gold tulle ribbons, these multicolor mavens can make an appearance for one party, or they can be more of a permanent fixture in your cottage decor if you are craving bright color year-round.
The Paint Chip Micro Hooked Wool Rug is a natural choice for tying several colors together. From coppery brown and tangerine to scarlet and carnation pink, this rug takes on almost every color all in an edgy, modern pattern. This rug looks equally at home against a white wooden cottage floor or in a rustic wood and fieldstone lodge living room. All of our pictured Metal Bistro chairs tie in with this rug, but we do offer additional colors, as well as wood seat versions and stools. In powder-coated galvanized steel, the chairs are suitable for indoor as well as outdoor use and are stackable to boot. The Eastport Side Table serves as a companion piece to our chairs, drawing upon both a traditional and industrial look. The simply styles table is available with a stained top as well as in over 25 paint colors.
What alternative colors do you miss most during the holidays?

This week we pay tribute to the Red, White and Blue, the winsome and revered trio of colors in the United States flag. Just as this nation is a mix of ethnicities and creeds, our picks above represent a spectrum of styles, shades and tastes, from traditional to edgy decor. From bold, billowy patterns to reserved stripes and solids. . . From understated hues to bold primaries. . . . From white with navy and cherry red to variations such as turquoise and persimmon. . . From a nautical bent to an exotic vibe. . . These rooms all make a patriotic statement, yet can definitely also fit into your everyday repertoire. Happy 4th of July to everyone!
How do you red, white and blue?

Longing to go on a summer picnic or lounge in a plein air bistro? The cheery little dining room pictured above pulls the carefree feeling of outdoor dining into your cottage home. Bringing together a mix of natural textures and bright colors, as well as some mismatched furniture styles, creates a chic yet communal dining area.
Varied seating options create an easy charm, as if chairs have been pulled up impromptu to accommodate any and all who care to break bread. Scattered touches of primary colors flit about the otherwise neutral backdrop like the chirping birds on the curtains, and a bright white and goldenrod runner with coordinating pillows ensure a French country look. The natural bleached rug and primitive wicker pendant lamp also help to bring the outdoors in.Anchoring it all is a rustic dining table without pretension but with plenty of character. Find other trestle table and reclaimed barn wood table ideas by viewing our Farmhouse Tables collection.

Sky blue turns heads. The color of the walls in this farmhouse kitchen play against white tile and cabinetry to energize the space in a quietly fresh way. Crisp and clean, this eat-in kitchen gives off an orderly confidence without looking contrived, a magical element of the Scandinavian style. Drawing from both traditional and modern styles, key architectural elements in this kitchen mesh without giving pause.
A gorgeous white antique enameled corner fireplace rules this cheery kitchen, where everything has its place, from the aqua pitcher and herbs to the incredibly mod pinecone lighting fixture. The weathered farmhouse table grounds the area with its sturdy earthiness and ungrudgingly gives over the spotlight to the glitzy lamp. The shiny coat of white paint on the dining chairs furthers the kitchen's signature lightness. The lesson here is to mix and match without fear, from antique with modern to linear with ornate, simply taking care to keep clutter out of the equation and to have fun.
Are you a fan of the Scandinavian style?

Trying to pull together a rustic chic look for your dining room? Look no further than today's Inspiration Board! We pulled together our favorite rustic reclaimed wood furniture pieces, like the old wood table and tear drop chandelier, to set the tone for an all natural style. To introduce color into the space, we chose a warm cherry red for the wall color and suggest using the amazing tapestry style fabric called Riya Red for curtains. This fabric is a soft linen blend and would be a perfect complement to the ink blue modern rug! To tie the space together, and ensure top comfort while dining, we suggest the Elizabeth Parson's chair upholstered in the dark ink blue fabric called Epic Navy. The pieces we chose are not only stylish, but family friendly and practical too. The table has a waxed finish for easy care, and the Epic Navy fabric we suggest for the chairs is stain resistant. Bring on the big family dinners in this low maintenance dining room!
