{reclaimed table...}

At last, the beautiful table that C has been working on is complete and ready for dinner party hosting! We found reclaimed barn board on Craigslist, used steel pipes from Home Depot for the legs, stained and varnished it all for just over $100!


Boomer can't resist a photo shoot ;) He loves these chairs that I found on Craigslist. The seat is lined with studded leather which I think keeps him cool.

{harvest table & chairs...}

I'm considering purchasing these 4 chairs for our dining room - I have always wanted a mix-matched set. The question is whether or not they will match the harvest table C and I are going to build this summer that is a grey-ish wood like the image above. I could always paint the chairs white...? Suggestions welcome!

{reclaimed...}

I recently discovered Pacha Design -gorgeous furniture and home accessories made from reclaimed wood and metals. Owners and designers Glenn Rushbrooke and Samantha Robb spend heaps of time sorting through heaps of tossed timber and scrap metal to create these eco-saavy pieces with a japanese twist.

I simply cannot get enough of these leaf lanterns made from plant fiber and skeleton leaves... so pretty!

{barn board tables...}

A few weekends ago C and I picked up our reclaimed barn board that we're going to use to build a dining room table. I just love these images and can't wait for the weather to warm enough so we can get to work in the back yard!


I love the contrast of the light wood and dark legs above, and those light fixtures!

We've talked alot about more industrial legs like the piped ones above.

And these big planks here are fantastic... I really love the rustic tone of this whole space!
