Gone are the days of mindless consumption.  In this era of conscious consuming, it’s important to question how stuff is made when considering an acquisition.  And it’s important not to lose sight of this notion when buying a gift for that special someone.

When I stumbled on this reclaimed furniture, it seemed a neat gift for our top pops.  How cool would it be to give dad a piece of furniture made from salvaged materials that could be passed down and kept in the family for future generations?

A useful item like a mirror, vanity, bench, wine rack, cupboard or old-school chalkboard handmade & constructed from found, salvaged or reclaimed materials manifest a tangible cradle to cradle philosophy.

All Black Canyon Restorations are one-of-a-kind, finely crafted pieces from salvaged wood from old barns, doors and old telephone poles.  And they’re accented with vintage molding, tin, doorknobs, hooks, glass, and parts of stoves, pianos or chairs.

Owners Scott and Ann Lundquist also accommodate custom requests.  Visit Emmet, Idaho-based, blackcanyonrestorations.com for more info.
