Design Greener: Using Reclaimed Wood
A large part of layout re using and is repurposing. Another excellent means to be green when it involves timber would be to reuse wood while, thank thank heavens, sustainable forestry methods have become more prevalent. Beams and these planks have a variety of character they worked difficult to bring in in lives. They’ve edges, patinas and misery marks which make them unique.
Consider including a layer of background to your house with reclaimed wood. This time around really living by case – my kitchen countertops, mantel, lavatory counters and integral ledge counter were fashioned from my loft from broad board pine floor boards. When the loft was bumped as much as create another floor, my contractor understood he was sitting on a gold mine (pine mine?). I I can not consider credit for his genius, every day, but I really much appreciate it. Not only do they add texture and warmth to my residence, in addition, it saved me a package on rock countertops.

Glass, steel, copper and reclaimed wood – why not?
Alright, I informed you I am not only the president of the re-claimed wood fanclub, but I am also a member…this is my mantel, produced from pine planks in the loft…
… and the built in shelves in my own family area.

All these are recycled from a Pennsylvania barn. I really like you could feel the history in every notch.
