Our house and shop are located in Rockbridge County, very close to Lexington, Virginia. From there, we custom make our Reclaimed Farm Tables and Furniture for the American community.
One of the nicest views I have ever had in my life is the Blue Ridge Mountains. They have captivated my heart; and with their hourly change of shading, still takes my breath away.
Lexington is a beautiful community. Lexingtonians are very friendly, well- educated and happy people. I believe, they succeed because they support their community. The influence of Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and Washington and Lee University (W&L) can clearly be felt in the atmosphere. You do not just visit a university city. You visit a small city full of life, full of culture, full of beauty. Many graduates, stick around because of the charm that the area brings, which in the long term will bring strength and growth to the community .

Lexington is also the home for the Virginia Horse Center where you can find year-around activities; such as, horse sales, competitions, equine events and instruction.
Many other towns in Rockbridge County; such as, Buena Vista and Natural Bridge are right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Many of them are also rich in history, culture and outdoor entertaining.

One of my favorites activities during summer time is the Drive In, the Nation’s First Community Owned Non- profit Drive In.
And I think this brings me back to my point that the success of this area is the sense of community that it has, where it does not let the big companies determine its needs, but looks forward to support community and make it prosper.
We are very proud to be a part of a community that supports our products, and encourages our business. If you ever decide to stop by and see our showroom/home, please make sure to visit Lexington, then you will know that the slogan, ” Virginia is for Lovers,” is certainly true.
