Reclaimed Barnwood Furniture Wows!

Do you ever watch Property Brothers on HGTV?? They're always coming up with ways to make a home functional and beautiful. Creating dream homes out of fixer-uppers! I'm watching that show right now and looking around my own cute cottage! Ummmmmm....

Winter always gives me an opportunity to cozy into my home and entertain friends and fanciful decorating ideas. Layers of clothing and sturdy boots are everyday apparel for this snowy season. How to store mittens, hats, scarves and wooly gear for drying and easy access for outdoor adventure is a must! This fabulous reclaimed barnwood mudroom bench cupboard is a perfect solution!

We're so proud! Here's background on our gorgeous collection.
This historic collection is made from hand crafted and individually finished reclaimed lumber, ranging from 80 to 200 years old, gathered all throughout New England. Each piece of aged lumber is unique with natural imperfections such as cracks, nail holes, and warping. Intentionally left untouched to capture the beauty, charm, and patina of the reclaimed wood; every piece of furniture different and distinguished. The wood may vary in color as the reclaimed lumber comes from different parts of the country and has varying ages; the older the wood, the darker it will appear. Our collection is made in the USA with love and pride. Because each piece is made to order we can customize any piece to fit your design project requirements. Please allow 6-8 weeks lead time.

Can you tell I'm a huge fan??? I'm inspired by the timeless elegance of the many well-appointed rooms. .... Not that I'm likely to be living in a castle any time soon.. :-) ... and yet, I seek to create rooms that offer a dreamy respite from the often hurly-burly of a busy day. A place that both calms and enlivens.

This gorgeous tufted vintage reproduction bed designed by Eloquence, is a wonderful statement piece from which to build a romantic retreat. From its hand carved decorative gilded frame to the sumptuous white linen that adorns the head and
