It's no secret that we had a big crush on Berdhouse Gallery (and its amazing DIY wood wall). David Browne, mastermind behind this charming store has opened up a second shop in the heart of Sunset Junction for us to ooh and ahh over. The large space used to house Kicks shoes but now plays host to Driftwood, a store boasting custom furniture, all things vintage and inspiring design elements.
David handmakes furniture (tables, coffee tables, chairs, bookcases and picture frames) from reclaimed timber. If that's not enough, they're numbered, signed and stamped with 5% of the proceeds going to Tree People (who are doing their part to make Los Angeles sustainable for all). Also in stock are large vintage classroom scrolls, organic throws and unique home accessories. We also took away tons of inspiration and a new love for the stores wall made from lath. Open shelving consisting of custom cut safety glass and chrome brackets also grabbed our attention. A little bit industrial, with a dash of school house charm--it was the perfect combo that left us wanting more.

Nice, but there is no driftwood to be found. I don't get it.
I think that's more like reclaimed fencing boards or some such.
The write-up tells you that Driftwood is the name of the store, and it sells furniture and such made from reclaimed wood.
Right clampers, I read that. But name a restaurant Sushi, and folks will expect some raw fish, and will have been decieved when they get a fillet-o-fish.
Fillet-o-Fish is sold by McDonald's. Besides, I don't eat sushi.
Just curious if anyone knows of a source for driftwood-like flooring. I've been looking for similar flooring, and would even be happy with reclaimed wood that had original paint finishes. Sorry if I'm not articulating well - I don't speak design! However, I am on the hunt for unique, modern/rustic flooring, and I couldn't think of a better place to (try to) ask.
