The Thanksgiving Table, Adirondack Style

We had always wanted to have Thanksgiving in the Adirondacks. Now that we have a year-round home, we celebrated the first Penwood Thanksgiving at this table. The table is by Stickley, as are the chairs. The chairs are Harvey Ellis by Stickley, each with inlay in the back of the chair. The snow was beginning to build up outside and the fire was burning inside. The table was set for the culinary show. We love round dining tables like this one because nobody is at the head - and it promotes great conversations.

The Adirondack Boys Recommend: Stickley Furniture

Stickley furniture doesn't need our recommendation. It has its own storied past and was part of the venerable Arts & Crafts movement; antique pieces are auctioned for tens of thousands of dollars or more today. But that's antique Stickley. Here, new Stickley furniture fills the living room at our camp. This is all oak furniture. The settle is very traditional Arts & Crafts style and is upholstered in a thick, green, textured fabric. The sitting chair on the left is upholstered in deep red leather and is adorned with detailed inlay on the sides and back. The lamp is a new Stickley lamp as well, in oak with a mica shade. The mica is very fragile; it's a natural material and can easily break or chip. Our experience with Stickley was great. The salespeople are very helpful, the furniture is of excellent quality, and the designs are timeless. For more information about Stickley, go to www.stickley.com.
