Rustic Dining Room Sets Built for Family and Holiday Gatherings
Walk into our shop on a Thursday afternoon and you’ll hear the planer humming, someone laughing at a bad joke, and a table top getting its last hand‑rub of oil. That’s usually a dining table. Around here, those get a little extra attention. They’re where birthdays...
Benches that Earn Their Keep
Step into our shop on a Tuesday morning and you’ll see a row of bench seats leaning against the finishing rack—oak, maple, a few reclaimed pine boards with nail scars we decided to keep. Somebody’s rubbing oil into one, somebody else is arguing (politely) about stain,...
Farmhouse Pantry Designs That Keep Kitchens Running Smooth
Step into our shop on a Monday and you’ll find flour on somebody’s sleeves (we test shelves with sacks), a fresh stack of oak by the planer, and a sketch of a pantry on butcher paper with coffee rings on it. That’s how our storage pieces start—real wood, real use, no...
Coffee Tables with a Job to Do
Walk into our shop right after lunch and you’ll smell fresh oak, hear the planer winding down, and see a couple of coffee table tops leaning against the rack, oil flashing in the light. Somebody will be arguing (nicely) about whether the knots on a reclaimed board...

A Desk with Dirt Under Its Nails: Building a Real Farmhouse Home Office
Most of us didn’t plan on turning a spare bedroom into mission control. It just happened—pandemic hits, laptops migrate, and before you know it the kitchen table looks like a printer farm. When folks started phoning us for something sturdier, we took the same approach...
Dining Table Essentials: Choosing the Right Table for Every Occasion
At TN Farmhouse Furniture, we know a dining table isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s where stories are swapped, deals are struck, and memories are made. Whether you're hosting holiday dinners, enjoying weeknight takeout, or helping the kids with homework, the right...
Take It Outside: Hand‑Built Porch & Patio Pieces from TN Farmhouse Furniture
When the first warm breeze slips through Clinton each spring, the crew in our woodshop starts talking porches. Front porches, back decks, postage‑stamp balconies—we don’t discriminate. They’re where fireflies get watched, stories get swapped, and supper sometimes...
A Bedroom That Breathes: Crafting Your Retreat with TN Farmhouse Furniture
Step into our woodshop any given Monday and you’ll hear the steady hum of the planer, smell fresh sawdust, and catch someone humming along to old bluegrass on the radio. That’s how every bed, dresser, and nightstand we build begins—real people, real lumber, and a...
