During June 18 – 24, you will be able to increase your sales numbers by expanding your line. The Dallas Market is right around the corner and as always we are excited! The Dallas Market is a great place to see the latest trends as well as discover new items to offer your clients. You will see 1000’s of products, which will easily jumpstart those creative juices.

AdenWorks has eagerly been preparing for the upcoming Dallas Market June 18 – 24. Our showroom is filled with best sellers, brand new items, The Aynsley Collection, and some of our favorite rustic furniture. Seeing the furniture in person makes all of the difference. Many clients often tell us that the web does not do justice to our furniture.

During market not only do you get the chance to view a wide variety of rustic, lodge, western, and rustic contemporary furniture in person, we have the priviledge of meeting you. In my opinion that is what makes the shows so great.

Be sure to stop by and see AdenWorks this market. We are located on the 6th Floor in the Outdoor Living Showroom (615-502). This showroom is located directly beside the elevators and escalators. I will be working a lot of the show, and I cannot wait to meet you! See you in a few weeks.

AdenWorks is the first to bring you upholstered teak furniture. We are taking rustic furniture to the next level by softening the rustic rugged look. We have created a new line of furniture that will take rustic to a whole new level.The Winston Chair is quite a unique piece to begin with. The backside of this chair is created by two plow handles which bring height and interest to the piece. The back and seat of the chair are formed by original wagon wheel spokes. This chair is made from eco-friendly recycled teak wood.

This chair has proven to be very popular at shows. It is one of our bestsellers with regards to dining room chairs. Since I have seen how much clients like this piece I decided to give it a bit of variation. This was the third chair I chose to upholster.

The upholstery on this piece takes it to a totally different level. It gives it a softened look yet rugged feel. The seat of this chair is covered by genuine rich brown leather making a comfy seat for an evening meal. The inside back of the chair is upholstered in brindle cowhide creating a stunning view from the front. However, I did not want to loose the beauty of the wagon wheel spokes due to upholstery. I still wanted to spokes on the back side to show through so I opted to upholster underneath the wagon wheel spokes.

Ultimately this chair is a beautiful piece to look at from any angle. It was created much like the Hudson Rocker. Each of these pieces have upholstery between the slats and spokes to heighten the detail and interest.

The Winston chair is a perfect compliment to the Junipine Table. However, this chair can easily stand alone as well. This chair was one of the main focal points of our showroom floor.

Well, this wraps up our discussion about AdenWorks brand new Aynsley Collection. I hope that you all enjoy this collection as much as I do. Please let me know if you have any advice on other upholstered items. I am brainstorming for the summer right now.

It is our goal here at AdenWorks to constantly and consistently be bringing new ideas and visions into the rustic furniture industry. Yesterday we added three brand new custom designs to our line. Our goal is to always be improving our line. We look forward to the future and to meeting your needs.

If you have been keeping up with my blogs you know that we have anxiously been awaiting the debut of our new collection, the Aynsley Collection. This collection is a blend of soft and rugged through cowhide and rustic teak. We were so excited about introducing these pieces at the past Dallas and Las Vegas Market. We could not wait for their debut.

Well, now you know what we have been up to lately. I wanted to make our new collection a surprise for buyers. It has been a success! The dining chairs are the Arabella Chair and the Winston Chair. We also have a rocking chair called the Hudson Rocker. Obviously we have other pieces in the works that hopefully will debut at the markets in the summer.

Today I just wanted to spend some time talking about the Arabella Chair. This piece was designed with the feminine spirit in mind. I wanted to take the rustic feel of teak wood a soften it by a dramatically curved, hourglass back. To heighten the feminine factor, I added hide on hair. This was the first chair I designed and from that point on I knew that a collection was in order.

This chair caught the most attention at both of the shows. Its unique modern shape combined with rustic teak creates a chair that appeals to your senses. This chair is quite versatile. It can be placed with a rugged dining room table to dress it up, or it can stand alone in an entryway or living room space. Either way this chair will be a top seller in your store.

AdenWorks is thrilled to introduce our new line. We look forward to what the future holds.
 

As I said yesterday, rustic furniture was definitely a popular choice at the Dallas and Las Vegas Markets. The rustic teak furniture caught buyers eyes throughout both shows. In our line of furniture, we create pieces that fit within different styles. This way you aren’t simply provided just western furniture or just lodge furniture.

Our furniture is a generous blend of rustic, western, transitional, rustic contemporary, and lodge pieces. The rustic look is popular among many different motifs. It simply has to be designed correctly to fit into particular settings. This is why at furniture shows, we attract various types of buyers. Our line is not limited to one style and that has been one of the main reasons people continuously look to us as their provider for all things rustic.

Today I am going to expand upon our latest collection, the Aynsley Collection. You may be able to tell by the name, that I have designed this collection. When I look over our line of rustic furniture I am constantly wondering how I can take it to the next level. I want to give our furniture something that will make it stand out in your store, client’s home, or commercial projects.

Of course the ruggedness of our rustic teak furniture line is one of the most fascinating aspects of our line. The furniture is made from recycled teak wood and includes antique farm implements in its construction. Therefore, the furniture’s construction, uniqueness, and handmade touches easily make it an eye-catcher to clients.

Well, what better way to bring out the ruggedness of our teak wood furniture than to juxtapose it with upholstery. I have stayed within the bounds of rustic by adding brown/white, black/white, and brindle cowhides to the backs of chairs, while the seat is covered in a rich brown leather.

With this in mind, I created some dining chairs and a rocking chair that combine the rustic qualities of the wood with the softness of natural cowhide. However, if you have projects or clients that are desiring a different look other than cowhide, we can do custom orders as well.

This has been a long-anticipated collection and I am glad to say that we are the first to develop this combination in our designs. I look forward to designing more upholstered furniture in the future and I have a few ideas for the upcoming markets this Summer.

Rustic furniture is a popular choice at the furniture markets. During the Dallas and Las Vegas Market, rustic furniture was a top pick among designers, stores and commercial accounts. Our rustic teak furniture for western, ranch, barn, lodge, cabin, and rustic motifs were what shoppers were looking for.

The upholstered hair and leather pieces from the Aynsley Collection caught the eye of many buyers. Some people were drawn to the lodge settings, others went straight for the wagon wheel western look, and then there were those who found the organic root furniture mesmerizing. Overall the Dallas Market and Las Vegas Market were a great way to keep buyers updated on where our line is headed next.

Well, I must say, it feels like forever since I have been able to sit down and write. This is refreshing. I am sure you know how it is. Work can get overwhelming sometimes and in the end you just can’t get everything done. Well, now that the markets have slowed down for a bit, I can get back to sharing tips and thoughts with you about the rustic teak furniture world.

Over the next few blogs I thought it would be helpful to you if I went through some of the top sellers from both of the markets. This way you can be up-to-date on which pieces are a guaranteed sell. I try to study people’s purchasing decisions at the markets in order that I can design furniture that people are searching for. So, over the next few entries I will expand on which pieces and motifs people were focused on.

I hope that this insight helps you with your next purchase. Maybe you will stick with the popular pieces or venture out and see what you can do. Either way, rustic teak furniture will be a great choice.

Well, the countdown is on! We have 12 days until The Total Home & Gift Market at the Dallas Market Center.

This huge show begins January 16 - 22. Come see us in:
The Garden District: 6th Floor, Directly Beside The Escalators and Elevators. Showroom 615:502

We are more excited than ever about this show. During our last Dallas Market back in the summer we debuted all new bedroom furniture, several new dining chairs, and new benches. All of these pieces have done very well over the past six months.

This was very exciting for me as a designer. It is always great to put your designs out on the market. I have enjoyed getting feedback from all of you. I truly take to heart your suggestions and greatly appreciate your compliments. I want our designs to be exactly what you are looking for. So with that in mind, keep the critiques coming. We are here to serve your needs.

 This show will be especially exciting because not only are we debuting new furniture we are also introducing an entire new line, The Aynsley Collection. I can’t wait for each of you to see this new collection!

As for now, here a few friendly reminders and helpful hints as you prepare for the Dallas Market…
 
       - Make sure you have booked your flights.
       - Make sure to book your hotel. I would suggest that you find a hotel close to the Dallas Market Center. This Dallas and there is a lot of morning traffic!
       - Begin planning on what vendors you definitely want to visit and make a list so you don’t miss any of them.
       - Take advantage of all the Big D has to offer! Make plans to visit some of the hot spots and find some restaurants you can enjoy after an eventful day of shopping.
       - Plan out what exactly you are looking for. Are you going to the show to simply look around and get ideas, or are you going with specific intents in mind?
       - Make sure you have registered with the DMC.
       - Plan to bring a friend, family member, or fellow co-worker. Having a companion to bounce ideas off of is always beneficial.
       - Come prepared to have a blast!

We can’t wait to see you at the show. Stop by, I would love to say hello. See you soon! To view more of our rustic furniture visit www.AdenWorks.com

Things to do:

Get Ready For The Total Home & Gift Market and the Dallas Market Center:

January 16 - 22.

This is pretty much how my “things thing to do” list is panning out. All focus, time and effort are going into the quickly approaching show.

But before I get completely caught up in work and an overflowing plate, let me just say that I hope each and everyone of you has had a wonderful Christmas season and happy New Year.

I was blessed to be able to step away from the office and studio and relax in the mountains of Colorado. It gave me the perfect amount of time to clear my head and begin brainstorming for the future. I hope you were able to do the same. We all truly need a break from work every now and then.

And here’s where we are: Ready for the new year, excited about the endless possibilities and anxious to see how far we will fly.

I am more than excited about this upcoming year. I am getting ready to celebrate my first year with AdenWorks. Now that its been a year I am ready to stretch my wings in a huge way.

This year holds a great deal of excitement for AdenWorks. We are starting the year off with a bang at the January Dallas Market, so I do hope you can come. AdenWorks will definitely catch your eye.

The show begins in 13 days, so over the next 2 weeks I will be focusing on shows, particularly the Dallas Show so you will be ready when you get here.
