There is a new girl in town, more specifically a Carolina Furniture Girl, and she has created a new way of shopping for fashionable and comfortable furniture via the net – exclusively and risk free. Carolina girl Pam Hughes, President and Owner of CarolinaGirlFurniture.com, has just opened her new store on-line. There isn’t a brick and mortar store or any retail distributors which allow CGF to produce quick turnarounds on design fashions and affords them the option of keeping the cost low for the consumer. Furniture is made here in North Carolina and shipped direct to the consumer in a ‘white glove’ service. This premium delivery service unwraps and places the piece, then allows the customer forty five minutes to decide if they want it. It’s guaranteed the customer will be happy with cheap furniture free shipping or it is returned. For outside states it’s a minimum delivery charge of $50-$75.
Pam Hughes grew up in the furniture industry and is a 3rd generation furniture maker. Her father taught her the value of listening to the customer and producing a quality product. Since then she has dreamed of manufacturing couch sofas and chairs that would be a one-of-a-kind art piece and yet function as a let-me-sleep-on-it all day comfortable piece of furniture. Her inspiration comes from the Carolina Girl theme song, ‘Carolina Girl – the best in the world, sweet Carolina Girl,’ sung by Chairman of the Board. Growing up in North Carolina made Pam a true naturalist. She loves the outdoors and all aspects of growing up in the south and appreciates what nature’s raw materials have been able to afford her; trees for making fine furniture and cotton for making fine fabrics. Because of this love for nature, Pam has developed a way to manufacture a 100% eco-friendly sofa and she uses American made materials whenever possible.
Her 25 years experience in the business allowed Pam to develop a furniture shopping experience like none other – offering hot couture styles in short runs so they become a one-of-a-kind piece. It’s the garment business model applied to furniture. Each one of her cool sofas and funky chairs is named for their stylish personality. Winey Girl got her name for her rich, deep, merlot look and velvety feel, tailored with brushed antique nail heads. She is perfect for living room lounging while General Girl’s astute mix of leather and textured ribbed fabric along with its silk pillows and bold nail heads make for a sophisticated and strong statement. Each piece has a girl name including, Tweetie Girl, Sweetie Girl, Flower Girl, Lazy Girl, Country Girl, etc. Currently the product line includes small sofas, chairs, ottomans, chaise loungers, sofa sectionals, pillows and doggie beds.
Pam also offers a direct link to the designer and manufacturer for consumers to voice what they want in their home furnishing designs. Pam invites feedback and plans to keep her customers in the loop when it comes to furniture fashion. “I plan to incorporate our fabric shop shopping experience into our blog and Facebook page so people can get first hand experience on what it takes to pick and choose the hottest furniture fashions.”
Speaking of the hottest fashions, Pam is not afraid to mix textures, hues, materials or pillow sizes. “I don’t want to produce the same stuff that has been out there for 20 years, I want different, stylish and fun.” That is exactly why Pam hooked up with designer Kim Luther. Kim is Pam’s head furniture designer and has a flair for creating looks that are funky, creative and colorful. “We have a lot of fun putting together fabrics and frame options,” Kim comments as she busily piles more fabrics onto the nearest table. We want to offer a stylish piece of furniture that is comfortable and sustainable at a below market price. With sofas starting at $699 and sectionals starting at $1299 the consumer is certainly getting the value from these “girls”.
