Rustic Entertaining

Here at Rocky Top, we pride ourselves on crafting furniture that is both hard-working and beautiful. We often describe our log furniture as "heirloom quality" because we build it to last and these stunning pieces are a testament to not only the quality you get when you shop with us but also the versatility. Today we'd like to shine a spotlight on the versatility of two of our favorite pieces, our Northern White Cedar Log Entertainment Dresser with Shelves and our Walnut Log Mission Chest.

Both pieces are sanded-smooth to the touch and feature beautiful, natural details in the wood. Though intended for use in a bedroom or family room, both of these hard-working pieces would function beautifully in a dining room as a rustic sideboard or buffet. With plenty of drawers and shelves, both generously-spaced pieces would provide plenty of room for storing all of your entertaining necessities, from extra glassware to wine and spirits, and ample surface space for serving.

Where would you use one of these stunning, log dressers?

Log Entertainment Centers

As the kick-off to the winter season quickly approaches, here at Rocky Top we're dreaming of cozy nights spent indoors with friends and family; glorious, relaxing nights with snack food, warm blankets and movie marathons. It is nights like those which inspired our collection of rustic, log entertainment centers.

Three-Drawer Log Entertainment Center

Our log entertainment centers and log tv stands offer numerous options for storage and presentation. Perfect for any cabin or lodge setting, each comes in a varitey of designs. Our larger entertainment centers feature adjustable shelves and swinging doors. The 2,3 and 4 drawer options offer perfect storage for a DVD player as well as pictures and decor. Each is also available in a wide variety of texture and color options. If you're looking for something more rustic and gnarly, our Logheads rustic entertainment centers will be the perfect match.

Cedar Log Bar from Rocky Top Log Furniture

Entertaining guests in style doesn't have to be a headache. With our Cedar Log Bar and these easy tips, you can easily create a laid-back atmosphere for your next gathering! Here's our tips for stocking your log bar for easy entertaining:

1. Get the right equipment

Stock your log bar with a few simple but hard-working bar essentials. You'll need:

• Ice bag
• Bar spoon
• Muddler
• Jigger
• Cocktail shaker
• Strainer
• Blender
• Ice cube trays

2. Choose the right glassware

Start off with six to eight glasses of the basic types of glassware. You'll need a set of short glasses, tall glasses and stem glasses.

3. Build your foundation collection

You will be able to make almost any cocktail with these items in stock:

• Cognac
• White Rum
• Gin
• Bourbon
• Vodka
• Tequila
•  Cointreau
• Red Vermouth
• White Vermouth
• Bitters 

4. Plan non-alcoholic offerings

It's a good idea to offer a few non-alcoholic options for your guests other than a can of soda. Before a party, pick up a few fruit juice offerings to mix with seltzer water. 

5. Offer self-serve snacks

Avoid missing out on conversation with your guests by setting out some simple, self-serve snacks like spiced nuts.

Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors

This season as we gather with friends and loved ones, it is with grateful hearts that we remember the sacrifices of the men and women serving our country. And not only do we lift them up but also their families, who are often overlooked for the many sacrifices they make. That is why we are so honored to work with Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors to furnish their brand new rustic retreat in Bluemont, Virginia which will serve as a getaway for wounded soldiers and their families. At Boulder Crest, these honorable men and women will have an opportunity to work on everything from securing housing to remedying financial woes with their families nearby.

It was a great honor to host Technical Sergeants Joseph Deslauriers and Adam Popp here in our manufacturing facility in Bryantsville, Kentucky and work with Boulder Crest Retreat Chairman and founder, Ken Falke on log furniture plans. We will be building special log furniture adapted to the abilities of these wounded heroes and others like them. Please go here to check out more information about Boulder Crest and learn how you can help!

A majority of our furniture is pre-assembled prior to shipping. To mention a few, we pre-assemble headboards and footboards for beds, seats and backs for chairs and rockers, table tops, and even our railing sections. This is for your convenience and to save you time.

Rocky Top takes great pride to be sure your items are packaged well before shipment. In taking these extra pre-cautions, we help to ensure the safest delivery possible for your furniture and/or railing. When your order has been shipped you will be called so that you can make the proper arrangements for your delivery.
A majority of our items will ship via freight carrier. Due to the volume of shipping that we do annually and the fact our shipping is freight collect, Rocky Top receives a substantial discount with our shipping carrier. This discount will then be passed on to you, insuring you the lowest shipping rates possible.
There are two different options when it comes to shipping your order, with Option 1 offering the greatest discount:

Option 1

Place of Business in a Commercial Area OR to the Nearest Shipping Terminal
Shipping to either of these locations will save you money. If going to a terminal nearest you, the shipping company will call to let you know that it has arrived. It is the customer's responsibility to make arrangements to pick up the order in an appropriate time frame.
Note: A business in a home is not considered a Place of Business in a Commercial Area.

Option 2

Behind the Scenes: Reclaimed Wood Furniture

Here at the Rocky Top blog, we talk often about our furniture being "heirloom-quality." What does that mean? It means that each piece of furniture is handmade with great attention to detail and it shows. It means that each piece is well-built and will last. You see, we sell heirloom-quality furniture because we take the time to build something worthy of being passed down for generations to come. To give you an idea of the level of care we put into building our furniture, we thought we'd share this video of the boss man, Tommy Mitchell, at work.

He endures many trials and when he makes it home after his ill-fated journey, his wife does not recognize him in his ragged clothes. He reveals to her a secret that only the two know, that their bed is carved of wood and still rooted to the earth, and she throws her arms around him with great relief and joy.

Five Traditions to Start at Your Rocky Top Table

Here at Rocky Top, we believe that tables are more than just a place to set your plate down. It's where you gather with friends and family to break bread, share stories and push the pause button on the hustle and bustle of life for awhile. It's the heart of the home. For that reason, we thought we'd share five table traditions we love just in time for the Thanksgiving season. Do you have a family tradition you think should make the list? Let us know and we'll share it with our friends!

1. The Thanksgiving Tablecloth
Dress your beautifully-crafted log table with a simple tablecloth and invite your guests to sign it with permanent markers. For something extra-special, you could hand-embroider the signatures to create an heirloom piece that will be treasured for generations to come.

2. A Thankful Tree
Create a simple center piece for your table out of found branches arranged in a pretty vase. Invite guests to share why they are grateful on paper leaves. Save the leaves in an album or scrapbook so your family can reminisce on their many blessings each year.

Source

3. An Heirloom Table
Instead of decorating with the tradition pumpkins and fall details, create an heirloom table. Display photos of your family and treasured heirlooms down the middle of the table. It's a great conversation starter and will allow you to create many new memories as well!

4. Hidden Meaning
Hide handwritten notes of gratitude in the crescent rolls and take turns breaking the bread to read the notes.

5. Table Games
Instead of rushing off after the dishes are cleared, invite guests to hang around for an after-dinner game night with a coffee and dessert bar.
