Once upon a time there was an adult with a child-like idea...
make grown-up furniture little.

Couches, ottomans, a chaise, and umbrella. Then came sinks, stoves, even a refrigerator. More and more the adult thought like a child. She made a teepee to hide in, a tent to sleep in outside, a small desk to color on, little poufs to sit on, trays to eat on, and the ultimate...dishes to match them all.

We continue to grow under this philosophy:

Polly Wilson’s inspiration came from her love of vintage textiles that she uncovered in her husband’s family's 100 year old barn in Colorado and from her obsession of vintage toys and children’s furniture.

Barn Dandys earliest products incorporated at least one aspect that was old: Whether it was an old furniture leg, a vintage western textile, or an antique spindle. As the business grew it became harder and harder to find vintage legs and spindles. That was when they began building their own furniture in a small barn in Colorado. They made Teeny Weeny Footstools, Small Chairs, Itty Bitty Benches, and Tiny Couches. The collection grew into products that even adults dream of having. Beautiful Teepees, Tents and Bedrolls that you fall asleep on immediately.

Polly’s success in the children’s world was limited to the lack of vintage textiles so she began to design and produce her own. She has also licensed several fabric designs with Robert Kaufman Fabrics.

Barn Dandys still has a small factory located in Oklahoma and with several full time employees, Wilson and her team continue to create children’s products that are whimsical, beautiful, and based on the simple idea..

We want children to play outside, hide, rest, color, giggle, and make messes in a play place that they will remember when they have children of their own.
