I love the look of a wood ceiling. It gives a room a real feel of warmth, and it’s way more interesting than plain white drywall.

Livin’ on the edge

There’s something about live edge furniture that’s so appealing. It’s almost like having a tree right there in your house, and it gives you the opportunity to really appreciate the beauty of nature. I just love the grains and knots and imperfections in a raw piece of wood. How gorgeous are these walnut pieces…

Live edge dining tables are a great way to enjoy a big slab of natural wood in your home. They look equally fabulous surrounded by earthy elements like stone and more wood…

Very cool bathroom with a plaster wall and live edge wood vanity. Pretty cool wall sconces too! With the proper finish, wood will stand up to the inevitable water splashes.

Live edge wood looks great everywhere else in the house – why not the bedroom?! Just be careful about bumping your head in the middle of the night ;-)
