We came home last night with some new furniture for our house: a bed and an armoire. It was ordered from Brandywine Furniture (303.343.5224), about two hours North of Columbus, near Cleveland, in Amish country. A nice lady named Erin runs this place as a small business that sells Amish made furniture at great prices. Laura’s mom found Erin years ago and she and her daughters have purchased many things from her over the years.

We have a coffee table, two end tables, and now a bed and armoire. The craftsmanship is exquisite and the prices are amazing. Erin doesn’t mark up prices like other “Amish Furniture” places do. She’ll sell a dining table and six chairs for thousands less than those discount Amish places. My coffee table cost less than one with cheap particleboard and veneer from a regular furniture store. It’s incredible, and we want to buy all our furniture there. The mission style wood is timeless and will last forever. We don’t have the money to buy cheap stuff over and over, so we save up for the best, and buy it once.

Once we finish our bedroom set, we’ll look for a dining room set. Our bed is Cherry wood and the armoire is Oak. The armoire will give us additional storage space outside our bedroom and will someday be used in a guest bedroom. We’re happy with the purchases and look forward to adding to our collection, slowly, piece by piece.
