The Advantages of Using Reclaimed Wood

Friday, February 4th, 2011

Wilderness 2 Drawer Nightstand

Based from the report of the United Nations Environment Program, there are about 12 wood species that are listed as endangered. However, many of them are still utilized by humans to cabinets, furniture and musical instruments. These and many other products rely on the usage of wood to be its main assembly and made. Annually, forty million acres of trees in the forests are being logged for this goal. As the forests deteriorate, people and different companies search for alternative ways to combine responsibility for nature and fashion for home.

We are all aware about recycling, going paperless and reducing the consumption of energy. These are helpful ways to save the tress in the forests. Another way to help save the forests is to use reclaimed wood in furniture. Instead of being thrown away, old wood from decommissioned building and homes is gathered, refurbished and created into home furniture like dresser, table, and chair.

The utilization of reclaimed pieces of wood has its environmental advantages that are more than saving the lives of virgin forest’s trees. Many of the companies are using natural, non-toxic paints, adhesives, and oil finishes. All of these materials are great to keep the essence of going environment friendly. Of course, the vision of creating high quality and beautiful output are still on top of priority while giving less impact on the Earth’s environment in the most minimal way as possible.

Reclaimed wood bring out rustic furniture that are stylish. As oftentimes, it is hard to predict whether the piece is brand new or not. At some points, marks from saw blade and holes from old nails can be seen to retain its antique appeal and style. They are kept on purpose to achieve the authentic look of antique furniture and to keep its unadulterated charm. It can be designed according to the personal preference of the homeowner whether he wants it to be traditional or modern in concept.

A sense of intrigue also comes out with reclaimed furniture; your nightstand could be like a century barn or a historical library. The feeling of being from another era can be felt with this piece of furniture. Each of them has its story to tell. Each of them has a humble beginning. Reclaimed wood has been around for many years; the secret behind each of them is yet to be revealed. However, the beauty that it has emulates the colorful history where it came from.

Yet another reason why it is well-sought after by customers around the world is its price that is undoubtedly lower. This is an attractive factor to consider. When price is a concern going for barn wood is the practical choice. Reclaimed wood is normally ready for assembly because it is cut and cured which makes the expenses even lower.

Give Your Valentine a Jewel of a Gift

Rustic Hand Draw-Knifed Log Furniture

North Woods Jewelry Chest, Model # NWJC

I haven’t seen any statistics, but I’d be willing to bet that the top two gifts given to women for Valentine’s Day are flowers and jewelry. Don’t get me wrong, we women love those things. But flowers, unless they are a live plant, eventually die and another piece of jewelry means another bauble that we must find room to safely store.

Maybe this year you can give a gift that is a slight twist on the ordinary. Give her a means to organize all of the jewelry that you have given to her in the past…and make sure there is room for future gifting. If she is a fan of rustic log  furniture, she will absolutely love the North Woods Jewelry Chest. The hand-drawn pine logs of its exterior give it plenty of character and beauty, while inside it features many compartments for necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. Many of the drawers and doors are lined with a soft felt that protects her valuables from scratching while they are stored. It even has a top compartment that opens up to reveal a mirror so she can admire her jewels as she’s wearing them.

This Valentine’s Day, go against the grain and give her a gift that she’ll truly appreciate for the rest of her life. Flowers are great. Jewelry is marvelous. But if her collection of gems is gathered into bags and heaps, she can’t fully appreciate them and it may damage fragile pieces. Believe me; she will be surprised and thrilled that you thought of a safe storage solution for her treasures! If you really want to go all-out, give her the jewelry chest with a shiny new piece inside and a bouquet of red roses on top. She would never forget such a flower-topped jewel of a gift.

Spring Fever

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Groovy Stuff Teak Wood Garden Trough Planter, Model # TF-539

Across most of the Western hemisphere, the dark and cold days of winter are beginning to seem longer and longer. February can feel like a month that will never end. Even the most diehard snow lovers probably tire a bit of dealing with the fluffy white stuff towards the end of winter. Days spent inside, seeking shelter from the cold temperatures and bitter wind, bring on a slight case of cabin fever. We ache to see the green buds and warm days of spring come around again.

There are ways to dispel the darkness of long winter days. Fresh flowers can add brightness to any dreary day. Buy some cut flowers at your local market (preferably a type that will last awhile), arrange them into a nice bouquet, and place them on your dining room table or kitchen island as a cheery centerpiece. Bring one of your planter boxes or plant stands inside and position some bright live greenery in it, then place the ensemble in a high traffic and light area so your fragile spring visitors can thrive and be enjoyed by all who pass by.

For those who want a bit more challenging project, create an indoor goldfish habitat. Start with a pot that contains a large, open bowl as its interior. The Groovy Stuff Teak Wood Farmers Bucket would be a great choice for this project. Next, visit your local hardware or pet store and find a liner that will fit inside your fish pot. When installing the liner, be sure there are no holes or tears in the portion where water will be held. Purchase a small pump to place in the pot. This will aerate the water for your fish. Set the pump in the bottom of the pot, then place some aquarium gravel around it so that it stays in place. Fill the pot about 2/3 full of water, turn the pump on, and make any needed adjustments to its flow or to water level. Then, shop for a nice colorful little goldfish or two and introduce them to their new home. Be sure to feed them and provide them with some water plants for hiding places. Place the pot in a corner of the house where the burbling sound will provide a Zen-like feel and you can sit in a cozy log chair to admire the fish swimming in its midst.

Any of the three projects above can help you and your family cast away the darkness of winter and bring about the excitement of spring fever. From something as simple as a cut flower bouquet to a goldfish pot cheerily burbling away in a corner of your home, the smiles you get from admirers of your effort will be all you need to brighten your winter day. At least it will be a subtle distraction until the calendar reaches April and spring fever strikes with full force.

Queen Barnwood Bedroom Package, Model # BFS-TMBRBS

Decorating a home can be a daunting task. To start with a blank room and add furniture, artwork, and accessories takes vision. A knack for that sort of thing certainly doesn’t hurt either. Some homeowners cherish the challenge and jump right in with both feet, using their imagination and images from their idea file to guide them along. Others hire decorators to do the design work for them, preferring to have a blueprint and plan in place before they do the shopping.

During the design process, you may find that you want certain pieces of furniture in a room but what you can find in available pre-made pieces are not quite the right size to fit correctly. That is not a sign to give up hope; it is a suggestion to shop more carefully. Custom made furniture is not a problem if you work with a furniture manufacturer that can custom build according to your specifications.

Many of the log and barnwood furniture items at JHE’s Log Furniture Place can be custom made to fit your home and your specs. If you find an item you love and want to incorporate into your décor, but its dimensions just won’t fit your room, give the friendly staff at JHE’s a call to discuss customization. It may come with a slight upcharge, but the ability to add pieces you love that fit perfectly where you want them is priceless. Not to mention, it makes the process of decorating your home a little less challenging. Who doesn’t want to make life easier? If only we could customize a little more of our lives!

Furniture for Fido and Fluffy

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Aspen Lodge Log Bunk Pet Bed, Model #SIG-BPBED

For many of us, our pets are as much a part of our household as the human inhabitants are. Some lucky pets are as loved and spoiled as children. We see images on television commercials of cats being treated to a dinner at the table, complete with fine china. I have friends who have upgraded the size of their bed in order to accommodate their canine and feline sleeping companions.

Buying a larger bed is not always the only answer. You can buy Fido his own log bed, a miniature version of your own rustic resting place. The Aspen Lodge Log Pet Bed is a scaled-down replica of the human-sized Aspen Mountain Snowload II Bed. You can even purchase a matching Aspen Lodge feeding bench for Fido to enjoy his bedtime meal. The Montana Glacier Country Rustic Log Pet Bed is a carbon copy of your Montana Classic Spindle Log Bed and also comes with a matching feeding bench. If the Cedar Lake collection is more your style, you can enjoy the completely grown up Log Canopy Bed while Fido chills out in his Log Dog Bed.

If Fido and Fluffy the cat both like to jockey for sleeping position on your log beds, together they can sleep comfortably closely beside you in the unique Aspen Lodge Pet Bunk Bed. The only arguing between cat and dog is who gets to climb the ladder and sleep in the top bunk. Your kids can even sleep with their best friends. Think of how cute their room will be with their Aspen Lodge Twin Over Twin Bunk Bed paired beside its miniature version. Everyone is happy with their own sleeping accommodations…even Fido and Fluffy!
