Kitchen and Dining Room Furniture

Filed under: Uncategorized — Burress @ 1:27 PM

Here is a little history about kitchen and dining room furniture.

The word “kitchen” comes from Middle English kichene, from the Olde English word cycene, from Late Latin coquina, and from Latin coquere meaning to cook.

Early Colonial American settlers often had a fireplace in the corner of the cabin that served as the “kitchen.” They prepared food, ate, entertained and slept in a common room. Eventually, separate rooms were designated for cooking and dining, and along with the advent of indoor plumbing, stoves, refrigerators and other now-standard items, furnituire appeared to both complement and decorate kitchens and dining rooms.

At Burress, in our custom furniture showroom, you will find kitchen and dining room furniture in many styles to meet your needs. Each is made with the finest quality and care from our Amish craftsmen.

We have new arrivals in our “Special Discounts Room” and invite you visit us in online or in person.
