I recently remembered this home remedy, because my daughter got a little bit of a stomach virus with diarrhea. She is just under 3 yrs old, and I try to treat our family with gentle remedies before resorting to other means, which is one reason why we use natural finishes on our kids furniture. I […]
Furniture is MADE
The other day, I was thinking that I thought it was really cool that our 4 yr old son realizes that furniture is actually “made.” He was telling his little sister that “Dadda” had made a table for her. It’s weird sometimes, but I feel like a lot of customers seem to look over the […]

We just finished up the big ABC Kid’s Expo that was here in Louisville, KY again for the second year. It really takes a lot of work for us. We finished up the catalogs, furniture, photos, and booth designs and details just in the nick of time, well, actually we were still finishing things up […]
Here We Go Round with the Yellow Stool.9…ooops, Blue Stool!
This week we decided to give the yellow stool a break. We took our new color “Cruise” stool to Cherokee Park to try it out! Our son was so excited to show it off to the other kids. He couldn’t wait to get it out and sit on it. He did a nice job sharing […]
Here We Go Round with the Yellow Stool.8
Our yellow stool took a really fun trip with us last week. We went to Henry’s Ark, in Prospect, Kentucky and we had so much fun! It was a beautiful day, and we fed deer and goats, chickens, and a pot belly pig. Henry’s Ark is like a farm mixed with a petting zoo. […]
