Ginger and Matt Summers sell their unique line of upcycled vintage furniture and accessories at their etsy store, appropriately called Spruce Up.
I hesitate to call what this Cincinnati couple do with furniture "upcycling" because it's so much more than that. As they say in their etsy profile, the couple "creates warm yet modern environments by blending styles such as mid-century modern, vintage industrial and hollywood regency."
Take that dresser in the third photo, for instance – after stripping and painting the base of the cabinet, the couple cut apart old shutters and applied them to the drawer fronts, piece by piece, to create that breathtaking herringbone pattern. And that floor lamp? It's made from an old surveyor's tripod and a vintage lamp shade! Love it!

Love...
What is item 7? I love the herringbone look. So cool.
Looks like an old pool-cue rack, @Voyeur. What a cool idea for a table! I need to spend some quality Etsy time this weekend, methinks.
i think the lemon/citron lamp used in 2 of the photos is what makes the tables themselves look awesome...
@Voyeur: item 7 is a 'sjoelbak', your typical olde Dutch entertainment.
Hello! We were told it was a Skittles table (game board) but looks like Hinke might have the correct answer on this one! I have to do some digging now and possibly change the listing name on this one. Thanks Hinke for responding to the post!

Hello,
Hinke is correct. I lived in Holland when I was young. It's essentially like shuffle board.
Fantastic!
Jess, you are so right. Can anyone identify that lovely lamp?
