“For quick messages, shopping lists, and the occasional doodle, nothing handles the task with quite the same nostalgic elan as an old-fashioned chalkboard. Our vintage slate boards come from old schoolrooms, and they’re fitted with ledges made from recycled wood. The frameless vertical rectangles tuck into kitchen corners, occupy little wall space, and quickly become indispensable.”

“Every knot, burl and imperfection in this plank-top table contributes to its authentic pedigree and rustic appeal. Constructed from old growth pine rafters and floor joists reclaimed from turn-of-the-century barns by a Wisconsin-based Amish team, the dining table resembles an heirloom and will undoubtedly last long enough to become one.”

“Made from reclaimed Douglas Fir timbers first used as “cribbing”, the support system underneath large vinegar tanks, the weathered wood in this headboard combines strength with character. Decades of noble service survive as embedded swirls and scoring that add inestimable beauty. Our wood worker hand washes each bed with a light gray eco-stain, then applies water-based lacquer sealer to bring out the highlights of the seasoned fir’s pronounced grain.”
