Celebrating Made In America

Made In the USA

We are often asked about our Made in America products. Yes, we sell many lines manufactured right here in America.

First, Breezesta is our poly outdoor furniture made from milk bottles. It is strong, heat and cold resistant, colored all the way through to avoid unsightly scratches, comfortable and made here! It has survived hurricanes. A strong American product.

The Frog At Home Label

Our Frog Furniture line is from Greene Brothers, in North Carolina. We have visited the factory and spoken with the workers, from the man who cuts the wood frame to the woman who sews the fabric upholstery... an all American team!

 
Bernhardt Portfolio Collection upholstered sofas are made here. We love them and sell a lot of their styles.

We have melodic wind chimes from QMT Windchimes made in the USA and cheerful Betsy Drake pillows made here.

We sell fragrant Archipelago candles from America. Come in and smell the heavenly aromas.

Countless big and small products in The Frog At Home are American made. In our recent trip to Atlanta Market, we just discovered wall decorations which are sepia photographs on wood from Mill Wood Art made here. My favorite is a bathing beauty contest with American girls from the 1920s.

Come to think of it, I was also "Made in America"!

So please hop on in to either store and buy our American products. We look forward to seeing you!

Green Brothers

Greene Brothers

My Design Program Custom Sofas, North Carolina

Greene Brothers began making sofas and chairs over sixty years ago in the mountains of western North Carolina. Brothers Curtis Greene, an expert frame builder, and Olin Greene, a master upholsterer, combined their talents to create a line of fine upholstered furniture. They soon became known for their integrity and the quality of their work, and demand for their furniture grew.

Their goal was to build sofas and chairs that would provide years of comfort and satisfaction to their customers. From their start in 1946, Greene Brothers has earned the reputation as the best-built upholstered furniture in the industry.

As a company, we create products that help people enjoy, relax and take a break from their busy schedules. But that's only part of the story. Our gentle and natural based bath and skin care formulations are loaded with pomegranates and other powerful antioxidants to help keep skin looking young, healthy and vibrant.

Breezesta

Breezesta

Outdoor Recycled Poly Furniture

Casual Living Unlimited LLC recycles post consumer plastics, primarily milk jugs, and manufactures residential furniture and commercial site furnishings that are durable, colorful and low maintenance. These products have exclusive product designs and quality features.

Breezesta is made from 100% recycled poly lumber which is durable and maintenance free. Even in harsh outdoor conditions, such as sea-side homes where our furniture is exposed to wind, salt and sand, Breezesta needs little care and maintains its attractiveness. Many Breezesta owners leave their furniture outside year round.

Corinthian Bells

QMT Windchimes, Corinthian Bells

Windchimes, Virginia

QMT Windchimes™ has been manufacturing hand-tuned wind chimes in America for over 30 years. They manufacture chimes in Manassas Park, Virginia and use raw materials from American lumber and aluminum suppliers.

Corinthian Bells® wind chimes are the first in a new generation of wind chimes to combine excellence in design with incredible tones and resonance. The centrally suspended heavy-walled aluminum tubes along with the high density striker give these chimes their outstanding tones and resonance. The tubes are powder coated to match the dome and wind sail, giving a complete finished look to the chime.

Corinthian Bells® are available in ten sizes, with each size available in four to six colors.
