apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Pickle barrels are not the first (or second) material that comes to mind when we think 'things to build furniture out of.' But the folks at Sundance have done just that. Their Recycled Pickle Barrel Collection is made from "reclaimed timbers from the Heinz pickle factory in Pittsburgh—old-growth cypress and douglas fir that once topped vinegar barrels." While the resulting bed and nightstand are a tad rustic for our taste, we can see them working well in the right space.
