Furniture Shopping in Farmville

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I’ve got two weeks until my due date and my husband and I are still trying to find a glider/rocking chair we like. We’ve been all over checking out chairs, but so far have come up empty handed. This past weekend my husband suggested we check out what Farmville has to offer, since they are known in Virginia for their furniture. Neither of us had shopped in town before, but had heard great things and it was a pleasant hour drive to get there. Needless to say – they have a TON of furniture shops/warehouses/showrooms to browse through…you could spend a whole weekend!

Unfortunately, we did not come home with a glider, just a new rug for our bedroom. But, we will definitely be going back for any future furniture needs. There are so many choices and the prices are quite friendly. I recommend going when the weather’s relatively nice. You can stroll through town and hit all of the stores on foot. These are some pics I took while shopping to give you an idea…you must check it out!

Hudson Furniture Inc.

I was browsing the November 2009 issue of Elle Decor at the doctor’s office this morning and noted several things to look up when I got home. This furniture and lighting company from New York, called Hudson Furniture, is one of them.

Hudson Furniture Inc.

Aren’t these pieces incredible? The Monastery chandelier on the left, designed by Barlas Baylar, is made of nickel mesh.

About Hudson Furniture’s sourcing practices: “None of the woods [they] use are harvested from old growth forests. [Hudson Furniture] wood slabs are domestically sourced from either salvaged trees or wind/storm damaged trees.”

Gorgeous…
