apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Wow I totally love the headboard!

I'm head over heels for the headboard and the bench!

The headboard reminds me of some sort of giant beast. I like the idea but not that particular piece of wood. I would want something more conforming.

That cutting board is beautiful. I'd use it for serving cheese.

You can easily make simple things like the cutting board, or a wall-mounted shelf. Lumber supply stores like Owls (there's one in Des Plaines and Lombard) have a section where they sell small pieces of exotic wood for small projects. I've made a tiny corner shelf with wood that has a live edge, was easy & looks very nice (and cost $4 urethane labor)

i'm sorry, but that's pretty terrible. it looks like either there was a fire, or that there's a live papyrus growing behind the bed. not for me.

The current fervor for wood’s sculptural qualities has deep roots in Chinese design. Long before contemporary furniture makers began to preserve the natural forms of tree trunks and branches, Chinese artists had mastered the craft of designing furniture and other decorative objects from the twisted forms and inherent grains of hardwoods. more--->http://tr.im/xcyC

Forget the headboard - that nightstand is exactly what I've been looking for!
