Our Logo. Why a bicycle you ask? Actually it was an easy selection. I wanted something familiar yet unexpected, and something that could represent freedom. I named the bicycle the “Freedom Bike” after a walk along the Hudson River looking over to Manhattan and viewing the amazing Freedom Tower. A bike is timeless and classic much like the brand. It’s wonderful to be on a bike without a care in the world and I know how much I enjoy just riding and allowing me to relax. I want the same in your home decor. County Road is designed to give you the freedom to select home textiles for any room of your home with confidence, ease and also the ability to add a personal touch through monogramming. Where does your “Freedom Bike” take you? —Bryan Keith Parker, Designer, Founder, and Owner

From The Heart. Designing and developing County Road has been a journey that brings my life full circle.  Looking back there was a constant in my life that inspired and encouraged me. My Grandmother’s spirit remains with me today even though she is no longer alive, she continues to impact my life. I recall as a kid my Grandmother’s talent of sewing and being creative and I am happy to say she rubbed off on me. Being in the home textile industry for almost 20 years, I have worked with China, India and Pakistan and I never had the pleasure of working with the American Mills. Growing up in the South, I was familiar with cut and sew factory work from family members like my Grandmother, but I never experienced producing product in the USA.  I have enjoyed the experience of traveling abroad, but on all the flights, I have dreamed of a day that I would be producing home textiles in the USA. Well that day finally has come. I am very proud to expand on my heritage of working in the home textile industry and now producing what I truly love in the USA. County Road not only takes me back to my roots, but it also takes me to destinations that inspire and influence design. Where does your County Road take you? Thanks Grandmother for your guidance and reading the road map. —Bryan Keith Parker, Designer, Founder, and Owner

The paragraph above tells the story of how County Road came about, but there is so much more to this journey. Have you ever thought you were singing the correct lyrics to a song and then one day you find out what you have been singing was incorrect. Well one of my favorite songs is “Sailing” by Christopher Cross and it wasn’t until recently that I thought the line in the song— “the canvas can do miracles” was “the cans can do miracles” and this made sense to me. So my thought of having a positive attitude and a can do spirit could take me places and accomplish my dreams……well I continue to sing the song the way I have for years and I think in life, we sometimes have to rewrite the words to make it work for us…

Enjoy our products and the passion that has and continues to drive me. —Bryan Keith Parker, Designer, Founder, and Owner
