Area ranch dips toes into design

Jan. 28—WAURIKA — Stuart Ranch is a local hunting cabin with six generations of history and family on its lands. With more than a 150 years under their belt, it is one of Oklahoma's oldest ranches under continuous family ownership. The legacy for rustic comfort caught the eye of an Arcadia-based interior design firm, Designer's Brew and Company, and had inspired a line of furnishings.

According to a press release, the relationship started when Designer's Brew created a collection just for use in the hunting lodge.

"The furniture has been so popular among guests that the collection is now available for purchase at designersbrew.com."

Clay Forst, sixth generation Stuart Ranch family member and current operator, said in the release he liked all the details.

"Everything at Stuart Ranch is meaningful and built with purpose, and furnishings at The Lodge are no exception," Forst said. "They are laced with our family's legacy and serve as a reminder of where we came from and what is driving us on. We are glad to be working with Designer's Brew to share this piece of the Stuart Ranch legacy with others."

Working with the Brew's interior designer, Brett McPherson was just finding premade pieces but designed from what was on the ranch already.

"Working with the Stuart Ranch family has been an honor and a joy," McPherson said in a release. "Designing projects that echo my western roots resonates deeply within me, and the opportunity to be part of the ranch's legacy has been incredibly meaningful."

Now, anyone who loves the western look can showcase pieces within the Stuart Ranch's furniture collection, which is full of unique designs, quality fabrics, and the character that defines Oklahoma's storied western heritage. Each piece within the new furniture line is fully customizable when it comes to the brand it showcases.

The Forst family has been busy diversifying their farm with multiple businesses like a nationally recognized Quarter Horse program, an award-winning cattle program, a nationally accessible meat company, and a regionally coveted outfitters division.
