American Made, Child-Safe High End Furniture- Bringing The Outdoors In

Kid-friendly-durable-furnitureOur kids are older now, but I remember when they were little we were always worrying about them getting hurt around our furniture.  Sharp edges and corners, glass tops, coatings and finishes were all a concern.
Well, now parents are getting much smarter about choosing kid-friendly furniture.  One option is to bring the beautiful, American made modern outdoor furniture that's become so popular over the last few years-- inside.
Check out this outdoor polywood furniture,  It doesn't look kid-friendly does it?  It looks like (and is) stylish, high quality, luxury furniture.  But guess what it's made of?  Recycled milk jugs.  It's all non-toxic, inert, virtually indestructible, super easy to maintain and guaranteed to last a lifetime.  There's no glass, no finish or sharp edges.  Furthermore, you can choose from dozens of durable Sunbrella fabrics for the cushions without worry about spills and dribbles.  The deep seating mission collection shown here offers a choice of outdoor faux leather cushions or Sunbrella fabrics.
Parents of small children: give it some thought!  Bring the outdoors furniture in.

Eco Furniture Sale Raises Funds For The Nature Conservancy Rainforest Campaign http://ping.fm/1M9kF
Would you like some trees with your furniture? http://ping.fm/Ws6i6

Eco Furniture Sale Raises Funds For The Nature Conservancy Tree Conservation

Vt-furniture-nature-conservancyThis Saturday, November 12 Vermont Woods Studios Fine Furniture Store will be running a fundraiser for The Nature Conservancy's Plant A Billion Trees campaign.  100% of our profits on that day will be donated to The Nature Conservancy.
Forest conservation has always been a fundamental part of our green mission.  Although Vermont's forests are among the best managed in the world we realize that globally, deforestation is one of the top environmental problems the planet is facing.
In fact, the world’s tropical rainforests are disappearing at a rate of one football field every second!  This deforestation pours carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contributes more to air pollution and global climate change than exhaust from the entire transportation sector.  Hard to believe isn't it?   Furthermore, forest animals and plants are being lost at a rate of over 100 species/day due to deforestation.
So, if you're planning a fine furniture purchase or you know someone else who is, please consider buying your furniture this Saturday.  Put your purchasing power to work and help us use green commerce to change the world!

Eco Friendly Wood Furniture and Green Finishes

Vt-natural-coatingsEco friendly furniture isn't defined simply by the wood it's made of.  Often the finish on green furniture is the most important part.  Beyond aesthetics and ideals, these "finishing touches" can be considered a very real health concern.  Often, one or more members of the family is allergic or sensitive to certain chemical finishes.

Consumers are being made aware of the adverse effects that even trace amounts of chemical exposure can have on those with fragile health. 

Here at Vermont Woods Studios Furniture we offer a number of standard clear, non-toxic finishes including natural linseed oil, poly gel, and low-VOC lacquer. 

Customers can also purchase custom finishes, such as the Vermont Natural Coatings Poly Whey finish which is made here in Vermont from dairy products.

We work with individual customers to understand their specific concerns and needs and to suggest natural finishes that we have researched and tested and found to be effective for protecting our health, our furniture and our planet.

The Internet, of course, has made it much easier for consumers to do their own research on natural finishes and to really delve into a product's specifications.  MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) are available online as well as anecdotal stories and opinions written by professionals and consumers.

Are you looking for help with natural, non-toxic finishes?  Feel free to give us a call and we'll help you select the finish that's best for your needs.

Dancing with the Stars in Vermont http://ping.fm/wwsnp

Dancing with Vermont Woods Studio's Stars

Dancing-with-starsManjula is going to do her $1Million Dollar Dance today.  Why???

Well, we're a small, family-owned company.  At Vermont Woods Studios we specialize in high quality, natural solid wood furniture that's handmade right here in Vermont.  We've been in business almost 6 years now and we're always striving to grow our company so we can get busy changing the world and accomplishing our green mission-- which is the reason we started the business.
Well, today we reached a big milestone:  $1 Million in sales for 2011.  In the furniture world, we're tiny though and with our insistence on natural, eco-friendly, handcrafted, American made (Vermont-made) furniture, we may never be "big".
But we've all worked incredibly hard to reach this mile-marker and everyone's pretty excited about it.  We want to thank all of you who are helping us-- customers, friends, family, vendors, colleagues and readers.  You help drive us and keep us on course and we are grateful for your support.  With your help we intend to continue growing the business while focusing on maintaining the highest standards of quality and customer service-- and delivering on our mission.
Now about Manjula... she's been promising to do a Million Dollar Dance as soon as we made this milestone.  I'll try to catch it on video and post it above or on our Facebook.  Keep an eye out for it :)
