There’s no denying we are all going to miss the sweet days of summertime. The sun fades into the clear, blue sky earlier each night which can only mean two things: beautiful autumn is approaching, and school is starting up again!
We know that this approaching season may not be the most stress-free time. Students savor the last dregs of summer, sipping it slowly like a steaming cup of coffee. We wanted to help you create a home of peace and refreshment — the perfect place to concentrate on work and the best place to breathe.
A Place to Call Home
The back-to-school rush is a crazy time of shopping, and preparing, and then at last, starting the new semester. The most important gift you can give your loved ones during this busy season is a strong sense of belonging. The best way to do that is through supporting them. The second way — and our favorite! — is through creating a place they can call home.
First, start at the beginning and end of every day…the entry way!
Now imagine that hallway clean and welcoming, no shoes, coats or backpacks cluttering up the floor. With our 36″ Bench, organization is not only attainable, it’s also easy. It’s two cubby holes provide optimal space to hide away the mess. Can’t you just see your students breathing a great sigh of relief, sinking unto to the bench to slip off their shoes after a long day?
Our Large Clothes Tree is a must for a clean and welcoming entry way. With this clothes tree, no has to scramble in the morning to find their coat or hat. The mornings become easier which, in turn, makes the days better.
Amish Insight: As you know, the Amish place a strong importance on their families. As a result, they also create a home that makes returning back from school and work something special to look forward to.
A Place to Work
Everyone is trying to find their own place in the world, and at home, it’s no different. Your students — no matter how young or old — need a place at your home to concentrate, to work without distractions. We encourage you to set aside a place for work only, dedicated to both creativity and productivity.
Our Ladies Shaker Writing Desk provides all the space needed for an efficient work day. Despite the name, this desk presents an universal surface for anyone and everyone to work on. The simple style and drawer for storage offers a minimalist approach to work areas, simple and beautiful. We also have a handcrafted Writing Desk available in Pine, boasting three drawers for storage.
Another office-worthy furniture piece is our solid pine Step Ladder Shelf. Here you will find the perfect place to stack books and store binders fashionably. Its simple design creates a stunning silhouette to work beside. Though stunning with its clean lines and unique design, this shelf also offers three functional shelves for storage.
A Place to Breathe
Ahh, finally home. After a successful day of work and study, there isn’t much left to do beside sit back and breathe.
Yet it’s kind of hard to relax and unwind if there’s no haven to rest in. That’s why we suggest creating a place — a sanctuary among the responsibilities of life — to just breathe.
One of our favorite furniture pieces, the Step Ladder Shelf, can help you create that perfect retreat. Adorn the bookcase with your favorite books, photographs of happy memories, and beautiful decorations.
Don’t forget you may need a chair to place beside the Step Ladder Shelf for some journaling and reading. Our Duxbury Side Chair complements the the shelf perfectly, offering a comfortable yet stylish place to sit back and relax.
Be sure to check out our gliders and rockers for another place to rest. There’s nothing quite like relaxing in a rocking chair with a good book!
