Memory-Making Log Furniture Gifts

When you think back to Christmases past, what do you remember as your favorite gift? Here at Rocky Top, we think the best gifts are something that make you feel something, well, special. Rather than wrapping up a forgettable bauble or trinket, we thought we'd suggest a few of our favorite memory-making rustic gifts. These heirloom-quality pieces of log furniture will last for generations and will surely top the list of the recipient's favorite fits of Christmases past!

For the new parents: 20th Anniversary Walnut Log Rocking Chair

Imagine all of the memories that will be made in this stunning, American-crafted log rocking chair. The chair features our signature Northern White Cedar logs and beautifully-rustic Eastern Black Walnut planks. It is a gift that will be enjoyed for years to come.

For your love: Reclaimed Wood Log Bed


In the great epic and timeless love story the Odyssey, the hero Odysseus struggles to make his way home after the Trojan War to his love, Penelope. 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. We love that story of two lovers, deeply rooted, which is why this reclaimed log bed tops our list for most romantic gifts.

For him: Cedar Log Bar






Crafted of hand-peeled, Northern White Cedar logs, our log bars make a perfect place to gather with friends. Many wonderful memories will be had here!



For the kids: Cabin Log Bunk Bed with Built-In Ladder

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.

One Guest Room, Three Ways!

Hey There, LogHeads! Happy November! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just 21 days away? To help you get ready for your holiday company, we thought we'd share three easy guestroom plans. Also, don't forget to check out our "Deal of the Week" to snag great deals on our Northern White Cedar log furniture. This week's special is a free nightstand with drawer with the purchase of any Rocky Timber bed.


Plan 1: Deluxe Hospitality

If you have the space to designate a room as a full-time guest room, meaning the space is used only for entertaining overnight guests, then we have a variety of beautifully crafted log beds that will suit your needs, no matter what your budget may be. Many of our clients opt for a more streamlined design like our Kentucky Log Bed for a guest room because it is comfortable without taking up much-valued extra space in smaller rooms. Crafted of hand-peeled Northern White Cedar, it is one of our signature beds and it boasts a classic design that stand the tests of time.


Plan 2: Double-Duty Room

If you want to create a space for guests but need the room to be functional when you are not entertaining, our futons are a perfect choice. Featuring our bolt-lock release system and a full log structure, the bed is durable and comfortable with log braces attached underneath for additional strength. Available with our custom finish or unfinished, this log futon provides for the ultimate in comfort and durability.





Plan 3: Stay and Play

Perfect for entertaining grandchildren or providing an extra space in your child's room for slumber parties, our collection of log bunk beds boasts beauty and brawn. Rocky Top offers 3 log bunk bed options. Our Lodge bunk bed is the tallest and allows room for a box spring and mattress system. The Cabin log bunk bed is a little shorter, and features our bunkie-board sytem allowing use of a mattress only. Both Lodge and Cabin bunks feature cedar logs sanded smooth to the touch, with the option of purchasing either unfinished or finished. Our LogHeads® bunk bed includes our custom finish and features a rustic look, with logs showcasing more natural character and knots. Each bed will come with an adjustable log ladder, and will arrive with the headboard and footboard pre-assembled. All of our log bunk beds are available in twin/twin, twin/full, full/full and queen/queen sizes.
