No secret here: We LOVE industrial salvage. Restoring usefulness and beauty to something destined for the landfill just feels right. So we’ve been making one-of-a-kind creations out of all the cool pieces and parts we get can our little salvage paws on.

How do you fit one of these unique pieces into your home? And make sure your space showcases the table instead of looking the factory it came from? The key is mixing materials and elements.  Hard with soft, cold with warm, patterned with plain. Allow our Portland store to demonstrate…

In this vignette, we placed a reclaimed industrial table on a warm and woolly rug that has an oversized brown and sage floral design. And since the table has a pedestal base with three feet, we thought: Why not go with three quilted chairs and a gorgeous wood and brass tripod floor light to play up the triplets angle?

As you can see, the table looks right at home, thanks to the interplay of delicate sparkle (on the glass), large-scale pattern (on the rug), and natural texture (on the chairs). Come in to the store to see what else we’ve reclaimed lately, and get ready to try this at home.
