i enjoy pecking around, and wish that i had discovered these gorgeous found barn beam pillars that have been repurposed into some pretty nifty side tables myself, instead of in a catalog — but i’m glad somebody found them!

wood adds so much warmth to a room don’t you think? i love the idea of this mixing into a space with leather and metal - great balance.

purchase the tables and lots of other goodies at viva terra.

boy oh boy do i like this rustic patchwork furniture collection from georgia artist margaret taylor for her company dryads dancing. she incorporates reclaimed barn wood, moldings and bead board to create each one of a kind piece. margaret’s business started out as a hobby and time spent helping her dad with house projects. through this journey of time and experience, the soul and ultimate beauty of the materials she worked with were revealed. now look at what she has created from the fruits of that labor…

it’s got a lot of heart and good energy, doesn’t it? i would love to see any of these pieces in a room sparsely populated with furniture and a neutral color palette on the walls. what a stunning showpiece it would be!

the linear form and ample functionality of these pieces is the cake; a beautiful selection of color palettes to choose from is the cherry on top!
