Mike Gentry is excited to help customers on big and small projects. He understands how furniture is made, what makes one sofa superior to another and how to pull together a room you can be proud of.

Mike has been in the furniture business on the management side with a major retailer since 1999. Along the way he has amassed a great deal of furniture knowledge and desire to delight his customers. As a father and husband, he understands that furniture has to be functional as well as beautiful. He can recommend the right fabrics for family life as well as formal spaces.

A native of Caldwell County, Mike enjoys spending time with his wife, Michele, and two daughters, Megan and Macie. When he’s not on the golf course, he and his family enjoy travelling to the mountains and beach.

“I just like helping customers solve their problems and their issues with any given project. I enjoy finding the right piece for my customers, a piece of furniture that will withstand heavy use, or fit perfectly in a tight space.”

“Great customer service! Ramsay responded very quickly and was very polite and professional. I felt like she was my ‘personal’ sales representative unlike other businesses that make you feel like just an item.”

Move over chocolate, it’s time for gray to shine!

This season, play down the brown tones in your home and add a transitional pop with the color gray. The same shades that are making waves on runways also belong in your living spaces.

Just like your favorite sweater, gray can be sleek, collected and cozy. Gray first came to the forefront in small ways in 2008 and continues to be a strong trend in home furnishings.

If you already have a tried and true brown leather sofa, try a textured gray pillow with an unexpected pop of bright yellow. Gray flannel chairs flanking your sofa paired with a bright rug also will update your interior. If you want to start small, try gray in the bedroom with a new throw or comforter. Pair gray with white for a tailored look, or mix with blue and even purple for a worldlier, rested feel.

However you decide to bring a little gray into your life, it’s the perfect way to stay on trend.
