And lately, the peace sign and other mid century items have made a big comeback. So why not live the dream and upholster your home furnishings with peace, love and happiness.

It doesn’t always have to be wood.  Mix things up once in awhile and use some metal cabinets or tables and you’ll feel right at home.  If you are lucky enough to find some rusted metal ones all the better.  The doctor will see you now!

Recycled wood ... Read More »]]> Big frame, big wood, big mirror.  I like the size of this mirror and I like it even more because it’s made from salvaged wood.  Taking old used wood and recycling it into new home furnishings adds style and character to your home.  And it makes your home look lived in.

I can’t remember the last time I smelled a fresh baked pie but I would gladly take this wood cabinet home with me.  Maybe I could heat up a few Mrs. Smith’s deep dish pies and just put them inside the cabinet.  I think ...

I like rustic wood end tables with distressed painted wood and natural finished tops.  But here is rustic taken to an extreme.  Going green helps us appreciate our natural resources and sustain our environment.  These salvaged wood logs have been refinished and recycled into cool end tables.  I also like the added touch of combining the rustic wood with metal bolts.  Great by the sofa, chair or even to put your feet up on.  Paul Bunyon would be proud!
