I love the light and warmth in this dining room. Light pours in through the large glass doors, igniting a glow from the bright woven rug and rich, honey coloured wood. The table base is actually made from a recycled pommel horse from the 1930s, the chandelier was crafted from recycled chrysanthemum guide wire. I love retro-fitted furniture, especially with results as beautiful as this table - improving upon something old, to make something new and beautiful. Now that's greener living at it's finest!


The rich heavy wood is a beautiful contrast to simple, recycled bottles and a delicate blossom.
