help, please.

Ok, loving this. Meaning the shiny white console/shelf with, what appears to be, a reclaimed wood piece on top. Want it. Need it for home. So, where do you go? I think I can get something similar to the bottom at IKEA. Should I google reclaimed wood where I live? What kind of wood do you think this is? Do you know of any great resources?

Thoughts, please. Very much obliged. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

  1. I would definitely google reclaimed wood where you live. I think IKEA cabinets lined up side-by-side would be a perfect fit. And pecky cypress perhaps? Have to agree, this is gorgeous!

  4. go to craigslist and do a search of "reclaimed wood" in the "household" category and the "farm and garden category"..

    Fingers crossed,

  13. Could it be burl wood that's been bleached? The cut of it reminds me of burl wood tables but I can't see the grain. Love it.

  16. Was certain I commented here yesterday but my comment may have gotten lost.
    I absolutely adore this idea and agree with you that the lower could absolutely be found at IKEA (yes, I am Swedish..) and think a wood yard or demolition yard might have the wooden top you need. The trick is getting it cut to size and to have that smooth 'overlap' at the front.

    LOVE this idea. Thanks for sharing.

    Happy weekend.
