Vintage industrial iron bowls are hard to find.  And if you can uncover one that is old and rusted all the better!  I don’t know about you but I am over the wood bowl on the coffee table routine, way too Pottery Barn.

I’m not sure what these industrial bowls were used for but I think they would look great in the home, on a coffee table of course.  Rusted iron has great texture and mixes things up, particularly on a wood table.  You can put cool things in these bowls but I think they are better off just left alone.  And please, put the rustoleum away!

Industrial metal lighting has a look all its own.  You can’t mistake it for those lamps that used to sit on each side of your mother’s sofa.  And there is definitely no plastic wrap on these industrial lamp shades.

The shape of these metal lamps is unique because they served a purpose.  They were meant to work.  Their long necks were meant to stretch over work areas and they rotated sideways, up or down, any which way you moved.  There were no 3 way soft light bulbs either.  Industrial lighting was there to do just that, provide ample light for you to do your work.

Now we appreciate the hard work these industrial lights put in and the hard natural materials they were made from.  Heavy iron and metal now worn to their natural patina.  Enjoy the photos, the future is bright!

Industrial wood and metal carts, rusted metal wire baskets and iron and wood stools, I’m in heaven!  This industrial factory cart has definitely paid it’s dues but I could see it’s retirement as a great working island in the kitchen.  It has a worn wood top that’s perfect for cutting and the metal is so heavy that it just doesn’t move.  Of course, it has wheels if you want to move it.

The rusted metal baskets would go great in the kitchen too.  Rarely do you see round vintage metal wire baskets and these would be perfect for storing produce.  And to complete the picture add a good working industrial stool to use while you’re taking that much needed coffee break.  Repurposing vintage industrial furnishings has really extended their normal life expectancy. Maybe they should have invested in a good 401K plan!

We’re not Pottery Barn, shop and compare

How’s this for a headboard.  Cut from the root base of the Molave tree, this is one of the hardest woods grown in the Philippines.  This tree can grow up to 120 feet high with a limb span of 50 feet.  Known for it’s durability, this wood is often used to make furniture and other wood household products.

Originally designed for use as a room screen in some lofty space, it’s been repurposed here as a headboard for the bedroom.  So relax on your California King size mattress and watch a good movie.  How about Little Shop of Horrors?

Big frame, big wood, big mirror.  I like the size of this mirror and I like it even more because it’s made from salvaged wood.  Taking old used wood and recycling it into new home furnishings adds style and character to your home.  And it makes your home look lived in.

Next time you go shopping, think twice and help preserve our global environment by choosing products that have been recycled.  So get yourself a recycled mirror so you can enjoy the natural beauty of wood in your home and of course, the natural beauty that’s staring back at you!

The industrial factory plant is making it’s move and it’s right into your home.  Replicating the wood and metal tables and shelves that were once used in American factories, furniture manufacturers are now producing industrial style coffee tables and end tables for everyday use in your home.

No need to worry about scratching or ruining these wood and metal tables, they are built Ford tough.  Heavy raw wood with no fancy finishes, you can go ahead and put your feet up.  And forget about using a coaster too!
