You and your family have been enjoying your vacation in Amish country, reveling in the slower-paced environment, the homemade and hearty foods, outdoor activities and samples of a lifestyle not revolved around modern technology and vices.
You feel relaxed and calm as you peruse the roes of chops showcasing custom-hand made products from lace and linens to clothes, bedspreads and even toys.
It's during your shopping that you come by a handmade Amish furniture store.
Unlike the other shops which were cozy and even inviting, this one has the feel of a warehouse environment and is a little overwhelming with the plethora of pieces, styles and options that seem to be crammed into every available inch of floor.
You know the reputation of handmade Amish furniture as one of the most durable and highly crafted forms of furniture on the market, but you're a little unnerved when you consider attempting to navigate your way through the sea of furniture laying before you.
The layout of a handmade Amish furniture store might be a little difficult to discern at first, but most of them are organized in one of two ways.
The store is laid out by room, with all the pieces fitting into each different room or category set together or it may be laid out by furniture style, with each different décor option offered in a different region of the store.
Once you recognize one of these two patterns in the layout set before you, your course of action for perusing the store should become pretty clear.
Set your sights on the style or room that you are interested in shopping, and you can begin your next adventure in the Amish region and hopefully find a perfect accent for your home that will last you generations to come.
