For twenty two years we have evolved a line of simple furniture which offers an alternative to sitting in the common chair. Currently hand-crafted at our tiny cushion factory, our products are built for durability, functionality, and elegance. Our designs are carefully selected and tested by us and our thousands of satisfied customers. They are sold in stores throughout the US. Click here for a list.

Directions from Asheville (one hour driving time): Take HWY. 19/23 North toward Mars Hill. Take the next exit after the Mars Hill exit (about 3 miles on the right). There is a stop light there. Follow this road (19E) about 18 miles to Burnsville and then four miles past Burnsville. Take the Micaville exit on the right and then another right at the stop sign. (There are actually two exits which go to the same HWY 80 S. If you somehow take the second exit because you don't see the first--about 1/4 mile further--you will turn left onto HWY 80 S. instead of right). Follow this road (HWY 80 South) about nine miles. Carolina Morning Designs is on the right 100 yards after the Hamrick sign and immediately before the Amoco station on the left.

You can also take the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville. Click here for Mapquest. It takes an extra 15 minutes, but it's well worth it. Just be careful if there is rain or fog likely. Follow the Parkway North past Craggy Gardens and Mount Mitchell State Park. Get off on the Highway 80 exit. (Turn right off the Parkway then left at the stop sign). You will be heading down toward Burnsville and Busick. Go about five miles until you pass Carolina Hemlocks Campground, then a bridge, then an Amoco station on the right. Carolina Morning Designs is the next building on the left after Amoco. Look for the sign.

Take you shoes off and stay awhile! There's the Bicycle Inn and other nice places to lodge in our valley, as well as the Carolina Hemlocks State Park, Mount Mitchell State Park, and the Black Mountain Campground. There's hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, swimming, waterfalls, traditional crafts and music. A great place to be in nature.
