So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Beauty Of Adding Reclaimed Wood Furniture At Home

By Lucilla Cresci


Reclaimed wood furniture pieces are functional and decorative items currently being esteemed by many. Like what the name suggests, they are constructed from lumber that are usually salvaged from old architectural structures. Taken apart and turned into beautiful things with new uses, the appearance, durability and history they have make them really captivating.

One cannot deny the unique charm and luxury offered by these types of furnishings. No two pieces are alike because of the kind of appeal present on the lumber that could only be attained through several years of existence. There are certain imperfections around like nail holes and nicks, oftentimes highlighted by manufacturers to augment the aesthetic quality.

Processing is done on the lumber after they have been salvaged. The structure it comes from is dismantled. Collected materials undergo cleaning and drying. Usually, a kiln is used for an even distribution of moisture throughout. This also helps in controlling any present infestation. It is only after these procedures that they're turned into lovely pieces.

They are perfect for installing inside classic or modern homes. Any living space can become more attractive due to the warmth of the colors they posses as well as the coziness of their appearance. Exquisite grain patterns and surface age are highlighted with the use of subtle finishing. You can find chairs, tables, bookcases, bed frames and more.

Just because these items are from reclaimed and reused lumber doesn't mean they're not durable. The fact is they can last for a very long time due to the timber's natural property, prior chemical treatment done or type of finishing provided. They're highly resistant to humidity, molds and insect, allowing homeowners to enjoy their exquisite investments for years.

Being environmentally friendly is another thing that makes these furnishings truly charming. Manufacturers need not chop down more trees just to offer fine pieces as they are made from already existing lumber. If you want to partake in saving the planet, go for these products as many other homeowners and interior designers have already done.

In case local shops do not carry enough reclaimed wood furniture, fret not. The internet has an abundance of these fine and environmentally-friendly products. Do take note that each piece is unique because of the imperfections and history carried by the lumber used. Every product you run into is one of a kind, and no two buyers can have the same items. It's in cyberspace where you can find those that truly appeal to you and would make great additions to your interiors.
