From its beginning, the Barkman Furniture Collection has been dedicated to producing the finest heirloom hardwood furniture humanly possible, using a careful blending of generation-old techniques and state-of-the-art woodworking equipment. The mission statement of the woodshop reads: "To produce furniture of the highest quality, always built to the most exacting standards in the industry, and worthy of being handed down from one generation of your family to the next." One of the newest additions to our DutchCrafters Collection, the Barkman Furniture Collection is quickly proving itself one of the finest, competing with the likes of our renowned Keystone and Leola Collections for the title of highest-quality Amish furniture on DutchCrafters - and that says a lot! All furniture from the American Journey Collection, and all furniture on DutchCrafters for that matter, is proudly made in America! Barkman Heirloom Furniture comes to us from the renowned Amish furniture community of Millersburg, Ohio.
The creation of heirloom furniture is, indeed, a journey. Starting with the finest of hardwood logs of many species, hand-selected and harvested from sustainable Midwest forests, and ending with custom-built, American-made furniture destined exclusively for your home, Barkman Furniture has many stops along the way... Hardwood Inspection - Only the finest selection of hardwood logs, harvested exclusively from sustainable forests, are used in the creation of hardwood furniture. In addition, select logs of white pine, red cedar, and aspen are used to create items included the Rustic furniture sets. Fresh from the sawmill, lumber is then graded and sorted to select only the finest boards to be used to build heirloom furniture. Preparation - Boards are carefully stacked and dried to ensure proper seasoning before the manufacturing process begins. Once boards are adequately seasoned, they are moved to panel processing. During this production process, state-of-the-art woodworking machinery produces panel and frame components to incredibly close tolerances.
"Framing" is the actual start of the furniture-making process. In framing, time-honored joinery methods are utilized, such as dovetailing, tongue-and-groove, box joints, and mortise and tenon - all of which of which have been used for centuries to create furniture that stands the test of time and offers a unique aesthetic appeal. Production - Once a piece of furniture is assembled, hand techniques are employed to ensure that each piece of hardwood furniture from the Barkman Furniture Collection is a one-of-a-kind heirloom. Hours of sanding, planing, and, in some cases distressing, ensures that each piece of furniture bears of the signature of the master craftsperson to whom the furniture was assigned. Perfecting the Finish - The process of applying custom finishes utilizes a combination of high-end automated spray applicators, along with masterful hand sanding and wiping techniques. The result is always a finish that enhances the natural beauty of the premium hardwood selected while at the same time providing optimal protection to ensure the wood develops beautifully into its patina tone with time.
Delivery - At the end of the furniture-making journey is heirloom furniture of unsurpassed beauty and durability, as close to perfection as humanly possible, with each piece bearing the signature of the furniture artisan ultimately responsible for its appearance and quality. Furniture is then carefully packaged, blanket-wrapped and shipped directly to your home, wasting no time in a warehouse or showroom where the furniture could be mismanaged and warp. sports equipment and guns for sale French Furniture Orlando 407-270-1111 Free sleeper sofa, free couchClear all selections Departments Dining Chairs Stationary Barstools Swivel Barstools $ to $ Clear all selections $ to $ Clear price Weston Side Chairs - Espresso - 2 pk. | Nolan Adjustable-Height Swivel Bar Stool | Weston Counter Height Chairs - Espresso - 2 pk. | Ellis Swivel Adjustable-Height Bar Stool | Ashton Top-Grain Leather Seat Bar Stool | Talley Captain's Chair with Casters (Assorted Colors) |

Photo By: Marian Parsons Don't turn your back on an old mattress. Hang a mattress spring on the wall for a one-of-a-kind, oversized message board.
Donna of Funky Junk Interiors cleaned the rust from the spring with a wire brush and treated it with a clear overcoat for a vintage look. Simple clothes pins hold up messages, and hangers keep other everyday items at hand. When you think an item has no functionality, think again. Melissa Michaels of The Inspired Room placed a small, brightly colored stepladder on the wall to function as a display shelf and eye-pleaser. The weathered finish on the ladder paired with crisp white frames on the adjacent wall gives the room a classic cottage look. If you don't like the look of an old dresser, update it with a bright color. Janell Beals of Isabella & Max Rooms painted a forgotten dresser with bright pinkish-red chalkboard paint for a playful look that works perfectly in a kid's room. The dresser allows kids to use their imaginations by drawing or writing anything they want on it, keeping the walls safe from any unexpected drawings. This home office is filled with items from the junkyard.
Sawhorses make up the legs of the desk, a wood pallet works as the desktop and an old ladder provides the framework. Donna used a garage storage unit and wood pallets as back support to create an industrial-style shelving unit to maximize storage space. Fill the shelves with vintage-inspired objects to finish the rustic look. When you remodel a room, you oftentimes are left with extra material. After remodeling her kitchen, Melissa Michaels placed her leftover cabinet doors on the fireplace mantel as decor. "I was able to reuse the cabinet door to cover up a hole from the TV," she says. Painting the door to match the room's color scheme and leaning it against the mantel gave it an entirely new purpose and look. Top off the look with a decorative plate and candles. Take an ordinary tea tin and transform it into a stylish storage container using chalkboard paint. Marian Parsons of Mustard Seed Interiors created this look by applying one coat of primer and two coats of chalkboard paint to the surface.
"Fill the tin with office supplies, kitchen dry goods or bathroom toiletries," she says. Write on it with chalk for an easy, creative way to label the contents inside. A piece of old, unused furniture can become functional again with a little creativity. This Hoosier cupboard, popular in the early 20th century, was sitting in a woodshop for years. With some refinishing and paint, Janell Beals turned it into a practical home office desk. The crisp white cupboard against the black walls makes it the focal point of the room. The cupboard drawers allow for an abundance of storage space, and the size of the cupboard provides plenty of room for office equipment. "The piece not only adds to the design of the room but holds great memories as well," she says. Hang framed memorabilia to add to the timeworn look. Damaged furniture doesn't have to be thrown away. Marian Parsons suggests hiding imperfections on furniture with decoupage. She used aged sheets of music to hide imperfections on this neglected dresser, while also giving the all-white bedroom a shabby chic look.
Other items great for decoupaging furniture are maps, book pages, letters and postcards. "The treatment will hide gouges, water marks, missing veneer and other signs of abuse on furniture," she says. Decoupaging furniture will also add dimension and distinct style to a room. A vintage headboard is given new life as a hanging rack. Donna painted the headboard white and attached a rack with hooks, transforming the headboard into a towel or coat rack for guests. "Random house numbers are fun additions that add some graphic interest," she says. The rack is also a great place to hang keys and other everyday items. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint is all a piece of furniture needs to breathe new life into a space. Melissa Michaels painted this once-dull coffee table into an eye-catching royal blue color. "The unexpected pop of color is a fun contrast to its otherwise traditional lines," she says. The bold color makes the table the focal point in this mostly neutral living room. Even the smallest, most outdated items can be repurposed with a little love.
