Eco Etsy: 12 Home Furnishings Made with Reclaimed Wood

Reclaimed Wood Home Accents Main

Wood reclaimed from old tobacco barns, workshops, farm crates and other sources has so much history and character. These 12 home furnishings available for sale on the handmade goods website Etsy.com include tables, chairs, kitchen counters, organizers, racks and wall art. All take advantage of a resource that might otherwise have ended up in a landfill, and they’re way cooler than the mass-produced stuff found at big-box shops.

The beauty of deep, dark aged wood is a lovely contrast with light-colored walls in the kitchen.

Now long past their useful life, they are carefully taken down and recreated into works of art.”
