The fledgling chair company started in Marietta shortly after the Civil War with the purchase of a $25 hand lathe. James Remley and his brother Thomas M. Brumby together formed Brumby and Brother and by 1884 the company was incorporated as The Brumby Chair Company. The company has remained in the family, and in Marietta, ever since. For the next 70 years, the Brumby Chair Company flourished as it was passed from generation to generation, growing to produce almost 200 lines of fine hand-made furniture while operating their own shipping company and printing press to print their catalogs. Once the largest employer in Marietta, Georgia, the factory housed over 350 employees. Finally, in 1944, the inevitable happened. The factory was closed and sold to a short-lived Ohio furniture manufacturing company. But after 70 prosperous years of business, the Brumby family was not ready to let go of the family company entirely. As a result, the family retained the Brumby Chair name and the Brumby Rocker trademark.
This proved to be a wise decision. Following several years of inactivity, the Brumby® Jumbo Rocker was produced again under a license granted to Frank and Carole Melson in 1972. The Brumby Rocker became, once again, an instant fixture in homes and on front porches across the country. With over a 100 years of producing rocking chairs, Brumby® Rockers can be found on porches of luxury resorts from Yellow Stone National Park to Naples, Florida. Once found on the Truman Balcony of the White House, Brumby® Rockers have seated presidents, dignitaries, industry leaders and iconic American authors, and each Brumby Rocker is made to last for generations. When Carole Melson retired from handcrafting the Brumby® Rockers in 1991, The Brumby Chair Company President Otis A. Brumby, Jr., the youngest grandson of founder Thomas M. Brumby, couldn't bear to see his family heirloom threatened by extinction once again. He obtained permission from the five family members who owned the Brumby trademark and brought the Brumby Chair Co. back to life.
In Spring 1992, he reopened The Brumby Chair Co. at 37 West Park Square, located appropriately on historic Marietta Square. The new showroom and workshop sit only blocks away from the original Brumby Chair Factory on Kennesaw Avenue. When asked about the significance of his family's company to Marietta, Brumby says, "The Brumby Chair Co. and the Brumby Rocker have been a part of Marietta's history since 1875, and I hope to help insure the continuation of this heritage." Upon the death of Otis A. Brumby, Jr. on September 8, 2012, ownership and management of The Brumby Chair Company transferred to his wife Martha Lee Brumby and his five children. Under the leadership of his youngest daughter Anna Brumby and his eldest daughter Spain Brumby Gregory, The Brumby Chair Company is once again flourishing and is determined to continue to offer the world's greatest rocking chair. The Brumby Chair Company represents over a century of history, craftsmanship, and quality. A Brumby® Rocker is more than a rocking chair, it is a legacy, it's one of America's last heirlooms.

Also, change out your lighting for a fixture that fits better with the style of your home. Make your yard look as good as you can, by keeping your lawn cut and fertilized and choosing plants that fit with the scale of your home, says Kip Matthews of The Gardeners’ Guild, a California company and member of the National Association of Landscape Professionals. One of the smartest steps in improving curb appeal is make sure the landscaping is uniform and directs the view to the front of the home, says Bruce Holliday of Landscape Plans Plus in Georgia. Also, as this home in Atlanta's historic Druid Hills neighborhood shows, you can accent the front of the home with a festive flag.
Path lights that fit your home's style are functional and decorative. These path lights from The Home Depot are placed in a mulched area with dainty flowers, creating a cohesive look for guests. Bring in an accessory, such as a cute birdhouse, to liven up a tree in your front yard and to attract fluttering creatures. This bird nesting house is from Sophie Conrad's collection for Burgon & Ball. Update your planter beds with colorful flowers and plants, says Kip Matthews of The Gardeners’ Guild and a member of the National Association of Landscape Professionals. A rock wall, created by Georgia-based Landscape Plans Plus, also adds to this home's curb appeal. Create a cozy spot with a bench and a garden stool, which can do double duty as a table or ottoman. You can buy a neutral bench and bring in pops of color through pillows, such as these from Decorative Arts in Vero Beach, Florida. For a simple update to the front of your home, add a new mailbox. Choosing a vibrant color, such as these mailboxes sold by HomeGoods, and a style that matches your home's design, can get the attention of your mail carrier and guests (or potential homebuyers).
Adorn your front entryway with DIY or store-bought wreaths and a pop of color, such as teal, for instant curb appeal. Show guests you are ready to host them with a tea or bar cart and rocking chairs on your front porch. You can find antique tea carts or purchased new ones from retailers such as Macy's. A cart can be used for entertaining outside or indoors. Also, green up your entryway with hanging plants for additional curb appeal. Create and update garden beds that direct people's eyes to the front entry, says Bruce Holliday of Landscape Plans Plus. Adding pine straw also can freshen up a space. Whether it's an multimillion-dollar Atlanta estate or a smaller home, add containers at the front door. Personalize your property by adding a small sign with the nickname of your home or your house numbers. Also, freshen up your stairs and porch with a coat of paint. Using an arbor can bring structure and style to your walkway or a section of your front yard. You can find used arbors at garage sales or antique stores.
