Bring the outside in

By Christa Terry

If you like the thought of having a lot of natural wood in your home but can’t stomach the idea of scanning your lawn for the freshest twigs once a week, you might not be the next Martha Stewart. Seriously, the last issue of Martha Stewart Living I received suggested that I go outside, grab detritus from my yard, and stick it in a vase.

Well, Martha, it’s freezing outside, so I’m going pass on that one and stick to the twigs and whatever else that other people have found, mimicked, and manufactured.

Root Of the Earth Platter (medium)

Artisans carve these beautiful reclaimed firburlwood platters carefully to minimize the chances that the wood will crack as it ages.

Driftwood Basket (round)

Driftwood found on Oregon beaches is handcrafted intounique wooden baskets that come in a variety of shapes and sizes.


Branch Candlesticks (set of 2)

These recycled aluminum branch candlesticks are as stable as they are lovely, which means they won’t tip over and get wax all over your heirloom tablecloth.

Root Of The Earth Bowl (medium)

These bowls are crafted from discarded fir tree root balls. Because of natural variations they are prone to cracking, which means that they need to be oiled regularly with food-grade oil.

Thatched Bowl (small)

Michael Aram’s handmade thatched metal bowls bring to mind floating nests, with cast interlocking twigs that form a sturdy foundation.
