Hidden Gems

Hidden amoung the name brands and the major department stores and the mail order catalogs are gems that everyone ought to know about, but alas, they remain a private secret known only to a few. Have you found a gem of a manufacturer that you think we should know about?

YOUR PICKS:

Oley Valley Reproductions - Situated in the middle of an Amish corn field in Pennsylvania is this small showroom next to a barn. Get there during planting season and the smell of manure will knock you out. But fortunately you can visit them online. I first heard about them when a saw a kitchen table and chairs in a house in Atlanta made by Oley Furniture and purchased sight unseen from their website. It's beautiful, well made and classic 18th century American reproduction furniture. My pick! Dwight Ball
