Not only are our beds passed down from generation to generation but so is the love of artistry. Meet our father and son artisans Barry and Austin.

**What is your favorite Father’s Day memory with your dad?**  
Austin: *A few years ago we entered a Father’s Day fishing tournament on the James River here in Richmond. We ended up bringing home the grand prize and had a great time together.*

**What is your favorite bed style you made for a BBV customer and why?**  
Austin: *It’s either the Urban Farmhouse bed or the Bungalow bed. The Farmhouse is super popular so we’ve worked on a lot of those, but I’m biased towards the Bungalow since I have one at home.* \[Note: the Bungalow bed can be custom ordered\].
