Knock_on_Wood*

....I have come to appreciate more simple & humble wood products these days... They add certain warmth & character, if placed and used in the right space~my home sweet home that is! Here are some designs which have awakened my taste buds…yesss I’m drooling over them…lurrrrrve! ~take a look at some:
.
~Smooth and glossy, cracks & texture -harmonized!
.
~Adorably irresistible! Perfect on bed side tables -left & right!
Certainly demonstrate the power of simplicity done right.
.
~Rustic Rocking Horse is entirely made of
reclaimed oak wood from French wine barrels...
a piece of sculpture no?!
.
~Charm-ed* !!!

Stunning pieces! I, too, love wood - I love to touch it....it has a soul (many souls, in fact). When I was a child, my father and I would go to the park and he would put his hands on the bark of his favourite tree and I would ask, every time: "what are you doing, Daddy?", and he would always answer: "getting energy"....wood has energy..I now know what he meant...oxox

Never been a fan of the darker woods - can look gloomy.
I like the glossy painted stuff you've found (complete with cracks !)

Tights Lover said...

I love these! So what did they do with the wine??

Kitty Stampede said...

Ooooooo...Love your choices, especially the his and her lamps, simply genius and I would love to own. I agree that wood adds warmth to a room. I'm quite sick to be honest with all the pressboard they try to sell us though to pass off for wood...bring on the real thing!

Lenore! Those chairs - as you say the glossy and rough together - fantastic combo! ...and the colours - I'd have the red and the pale blue. Rustic rocking horse is pretty special too - love it all actually - very imaginative. XXX

Ah, love the owl-shaped wood sculptures! I, too, have a fascination with wood. I have to design a multimedia portfolio soon and the website is all going to be wood-based, I'm excited! :)

Fantastic. I've always wanted to get big wood blocks to use as side and coffee tables, but damn.. they're pricey and really heavy. I will get them someday though. Love the animal-inspired decor items!
