Gorgeous reclaimed wood - do you have some?

I was introduced to Forest Dickey's work the other day and it's just stunning. He uses reclaimed barn wood -of which I've always been a fan. The unique thing is that with this historic medium he creates contemporary furniture! I particularly love his benches -

A special attribute of reclaimed wood is that it means your piece will be completely unique. I can think of a space for this hutch in every room (of my dream house, that is.)

Of course, most furniture in reclaimed wood will probably be made one of a kind by craftsmen, which equals big bucks (and rightfully so), but you can find more accessible furniture - like these shelves made from old railroad tracks at vivaterra.

Do any of you have furniture (or anything) made from reclaimed wood? I'd love to hear about it - what it is and how you like it.

Can anyone source this bench?

Last week in my chalkboard post there was a photo with this bench. You can see the 2009 House of the Year tour with this photo here at Country Living. One of our community members wrote to ask for the source of the red bench. I poked around a bit on Country Living's website and didn't find anything. I've written to the editors to see if they might know, but in the meantime I thought one of you might have an idea!

Here's some similar benches I found:


from Plow & Hearth



from Amish Furniture

From Bar Stools & Bar Stools

Eco chic furniture and accessories

So, I know that "green" and "eco-friendly" items aren't exactly new buzzwords anymore. But I still love when I find a product that is made from recycled glass or reclaimed wood. What's even better is if the product is designed well and affordable. It's hard to find all of those things from one seller (especially affordability), but VivaTerra comes close!

Stylish, affordable finds from LL Bean Home

LL Bean is well known for quality and affordability, but they aren't quite my style. I was surprised however, to look in my mom's most recent catalog from LL Bean home. They have many stylish pieces, similar to what you might find in Restoration Hardware or Crate and Barrel, but at much friendlier prices!


Painted cottage bookcase, $179.00, 8 pretty colors


Painted Cottage Collection, work desk $229.oo


Arts and Crafts Bedding, from $79


Sand Dollar Bedding , from $69


Lakeside End Table, $99


1949 Big Ben alarm clock, $29.50


Pharmacy Table Lamp $159.00




Mission Fireside Bench , $169

They have this in a darker finish which I actually prefer.

Upholstered Ultralight chair, $399

This might be nice in the corner of the bedroom...I'd want it in white though. Maybe they'll ad more colors soon.

For all you antiquers out there, here are some of my new finds from ecantiques.com. I have to say I wasn't prepared for the prices. Nevertheless, perhaps the images will inspire you. And there are always cheap replicas to be found!

I really like these benches. They could serve so many purposes too. As an ottoman, a coffee table, a plant stand...
