JUST REDUCED Rustic Wood Plant Stands on Etsy
Outdoor Garden Bench
Here is a outdoor rustic woodland bench made from reclaimed wood. Ok the wood is not reclaimed. It was claimed from Home Depot. Of course Home Depot claimed in from a tree so in that case I was reclaiming it from them. And why I’m correcting my previous statements the wood bench is not really in the ‘woodland’ style. Although there are no hard and fast rules about what constitutes the ‘woodland style’. I just like saying the word woodland. It is all the rage in the mom groups all across the suburban landscape. The rustic wood bench is based on a plain by black and decker. It has a scalloped back and rounded arm rests. This gives it the look and feel of garden log furniture. This rustic bench fits in with any garden decor. Including the red hot new woodland gardens. Whatever a woodland garden looks like. Even if someone had a fairy garden and those fairies (not the one with the garden) but the fairies for whom the garden is for, had their own garden for humans or some type of ‘human like’ form, then the bench could be used for them. That was a really long run on sentence. Was it not? Moving on. This rustic bench was made to replace a worn out adirondack bench made from reclaimed plywood. That is really irrelevant, but then again most of this post is so not relevant. This garden bench is very sturdy. And can support many a persons. It is as strong as a ship. If that ship happens to be made of pressure treated two by fours. Then is also finished with a waterproof stain/varnish for plenty of outdoor use. This rustic bench is also slightly more comfortable that it looks. Which is to say it is a little bit less comfortable. It would go great with other rustic furniture, such as, but not limited to log tables, wood Adirondack chairs, plants, planters, plant stands, things made with tree branches and many other garden, rustic, woodland and wooden decor.
Glass Tile Bench
A clean simple wood bench made from reclaimed 2×4’s. They are screwed and glued together. Then primed and painted white. The top of the bench was made from reclaimed glass tile samples. The bench goes fairly well in any decor. It’s the opposite of the usual garden decor and woodland decor to be found on bradluthin.com. It’s one of those furniture pieces that somehow got lost on the way to a particular body of work or portfolio. There are times when the wood bench will fit it. However, at the same time seems to be wildly out of place. This semi-whimsical wood and tile bench is minimalistic which is such a big fancy word. Actually I don’t think it is a real word since it comes up as misspelled and everyone knows that spell check is never wrong. Anyway, I’m suppose to write at least 300 words in each blog post for some reason. Therefore no one in their right mind would read all of this. But you’ve gotten this far, so you might as well finish. Getting back to the bench in question. I don’t remember making this semi-fine but fairly basic piece of furniture. The bench is about as comfortable as it looks, which is to say, not very much. The mosaic glass tile bench can and is often, if not all the time, being used as a table. Not so much a rustic tile bench but a not very sophisticated mosaic tile bench either. This interesting tile bench would be at home in any decor or no decor. It might make for a conversational piece. You can start and perhaps maintain a conversation with friends, relatives or perhaps a wandering Jehovah Witness. It might not make for a great conversation but an interesting one nonetheless. Then the conversation might turn into yet another conversation about other pieces of furniture. Whether they be of the minimal, maximal or rustic variety. The glass tile bench is painted white to go with any decor or perhaps an all white office like that of a newly purchased condo or perhaps a fashionable workplace. I have some rustic woodland furniture and accessories that I will post soon.
