Easy living

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 6, 2008

If the hustle and bustle of city life has worn you down, recharge your batteries in a more rural setting. Some groups this market draw on the time-worn pieces you might find in an old farmhouse, a mountain retreat or a summer cottage. Expect some distressing and rubbed-through painted finishes on case pieces.

1. BUTLER SPECIALTY
   IHFC D-1031
   These nesting tables are part of Butler Specialty's Artists' Originals collection. The $599 retail group of tables has a hand-painted rustic fawn finish.

2. HARDEN FURNITURE
   200 Steele S-133
   This sliding door curio by Harden has lights and glass shelves as well as rope-turned legs and a stretcher base. Made with solid cherry, it is shown here in an antique pearl finish.

3. KINCAID FURNITURE
   IHFC H-1204
   This dresser is part of Kincaid's American Journal line of about 37 bedroom and dining pieces and more than 200 SKUs. This piece looks like farmhouse in this finish, but can look more transitional with a different finish.

4. OLD HICKORY TANNERY
   Market Square 314
   A classic wing shape takes on a western feeling in this loveseat (No. 8010) dressed in acid-washed hair-on-hide leather with distressed wood finish. Bench made in the United States.

   This bed from the Bungalow collection, scaled for smaller living spaces, has a contemporary shutter look on the headboard and footboard.

10. HOOKER FURNITURE
