Burlwood

Burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It results from a tree undergoing some form of stress caused by an injury, virus or fungus. It yields a very peculiar and highly figured wood, prized for its beauty and rarity.

I am excited to say we are having a custom bed made from old burl cabinet doors! We recently purchased a king tempura-pedic mattress when our current queen bed started folding up like a taco and burrito'ing us in the middle of the night! We couldn't take the restless and sleepless nights NO MORE

Burl can be an amazing adjective and statement to any room if done right and stained correctly. Here are some different burl species from box elder to maple.

Let's just say we're not keeping it natural or traditionally stained!

The little things...

How often do we wake up to a routine schedule without appreciating the very small things in life that really shape and make who we are and what inspires us to grow? I'm guilty of this quite often and strive to set aside some time each day to reflect and see those remarkable little details!

Detailing ...

I believe good design is in the details. Whether it's for the home, accessorizing your wardrobe, playing up your office, reading a good book, cooking a dinner for two, or throwing a celebration...Create little gems that will be remembered. These are a few beauties I'm day dreaming about that add a touch of interest to the everyday!
