Wine Country in Your Home
June 12, 2015
The Wine Country Collection is constructed from reclaimed wine and whiskey barrels. By repurposing oak barrels, this collection gives a second life to quality wood and saves thousands of barrels from the typical waste stream. The unique wine country selections in this collection are pieces that have a green solution that complement the unique textures and shades of the wood, each piece is now available finished in any one of eleven hand-rubbed transparent stains. .
The barrels are originally handmade and toasted to enhance certain flavors in the wine and whiskey making process. This leads to uniquely shaped and colored staves of wood that are then reused to create these stylish furniture pieces. After assembly of the furniture each piece is stained in a transparent finish color of your choice, which still allows the natural variations in the wood to be seen.
A few of the larger pieces also use rough lumber, which is sanded by hand, leaving much of the wood's natural character finish. The attention to the detail is what makes this unique collection ideal for your home.
To that end, let it dress up your next occasion. Furthermore, let it tell a story of sorts. Perhaps someone is retiring or there is a wedding anniversary that has cause for celebration. Our day of the dead fruit bowl is just the thing to set the tone. Honor your loved ones with this age old Mexican tradition.
Prior to their reclamation, the original barrels were handmade and burnished to enhance certain flavors in the wine and whiskey making process. This leads to uniquely shaped and colored staves of wood that are reused to create these stylish furniture pieces. A few of the larger pieces also use rough lumber, which is sanded by hand, leaving much of the wood's natural character for a more rustic finish.
The resulting furniture pieces have a casual appeal and yet are sophisticated enough for any décor.
