Beautiful style gets added to our Lake Cottage Guest Room with the addition of a timeless and classic chair from Old Hickory.

A few years ago we built a guest cottage next to our cabin at Camp Paradise. Our oldest had moved into one of the bedrooms and now as she finishes her sophomore year in college we decided it was time to give her room an upgrade. The room is turning from trophy filled teenager room to a sophisticated space that still reflects our lake loving girl. It’s welcoming for guests and for her when she’s home from school.

Week 4: Seating

I knew I wanted to add a cozy place to sit and read in our Lake Cottage Guest Room. The first place I looked was with one of my favorite companies, Old Hickory Furniture.

Old Hickory

Old Hickory Furniture got it’s start in the 1890s when Billy Richardson began selling hickory chairs and rockers each Saturday on the town square in Martinsville, Indiana. According to legend, Richardson and his father made hickory chairs and rockers for President Andrew Jackson’s home, The Hermitage. Read about the company’s fascinating history here.

Furniture from Old Hickory is timeless. It’s a classic look not only for cabins, but for all homes. Their pieces are comfortable and unique and made with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship that the company has been using for over 100 years.

The Chair

As soon as I saw the blue plaid fabric on Old Hickory’s Lean Back Chair, I knew it would be perfect in the space.

I was so excited when my chair was delivered!

I had my son carry it upstairs to the guest cottage and I unwrapped it.

Designed in the 1930s, Old Hickory’s Lean Back Chair defines rustic comfort. It’s seat and back are available woven or upholstered.

I often come across Old Hickory furniture pieces in antique shops and they are in just as good a shape as new ones. They last forever. When I think about how I spend money on my home, I invest in heirloom pieces, like this chair from Old Hickory. Then, I fill in with my thrifted and bargain finds to stretch my dollars.

Find my favorite local antique shops in this post.

I am so in love with how the chair looks in the room!
