Guest Picks: Clean Wood Elements for Any Home
I have always gravitated towards little boxes with lids, and these wood nesting dishes can be container lids or mug coasters.
I admire the vintage feel of these sleek wood crates, and I love that they come with bright orange casters for an unexpected pop of fun. Who doesn't need unexpected pops of fun?
I have a weakness for industrial pieces, so when I saw this little wood-capped stool, I fell hard. It's also ecofriendly, and the steel base is crafted from recycled materials.
The trend for typography is still going strong, and these little wall plaques are hand-crafted with a lovely slightly distressed wood finish.
These multifunctional cubes are made from monkey pod wood. I don't even know what that is, but I know I love it. They are the perfect height for bedsides or footstools, and their clean natural finish makes them perfect for almost any room in the house.
I adore the fact that these wooden-lidded canisters come with an airtight seal. I can think of a million uses for them. They would be a great way to organize items in a bath, kitchen or office space. Additionally, the wooden lids make a great textural contrast to the sleek glass.
Wood and bone make this piece unique. It also comes with a bone-handled spreader. Tucked behind olive oils on a countertop for easy access, this board would be attractive and useful.
Perfect for a little midcentury modern update in the kitchen, these salt and pepper shakers have quite a presence. I love the metal-on-wood look.
I love that this wooden wine holder has a flat structure, making it perfect for above a refrigerator. You can also hand-stamp little labels and slip them into the label holders along the bottom.
These drawer trays look like they came straight out of an old library desk. They come in a set of three and are filled with multiple compartments and slots for organizing your life. They are cute enough to hang on the wall for collectible displays as well.
My favorite things about these wood tumblers are the bright pops of color at the bases. They look like they have all been dipped in little pots of paint. They also have a nice shape, as they resemble stemless wineglasses.
This is a great item to purchase at the beginning of the New Year. It sports a chalkboard with calendar graphics and a reclaimed wood frame, not to mention the cutest shelf/hook combination at the bottom. It's like the wall item that can do everything! This would be fantastic in a mudroom or entry space.
I've always had a fascination for antiques and old things. I love the stories that accompany each item, so I especially love these large dough bowls. Each one is unique and could be used season after season — perhaps pinecones in winter and seashells in the summer, or simple white candles year-round. They are lovely enough to display with nothing in them as well.
I don't know about you, but I am always losing my keys and could benefit from a holder of some kind. This one comes with reclaimed wood slats and sturdy key hooks.
This wood and metal chest of drawers reminds me of old trunks that have been stamped and shipped on ocean liners. It has a great mix of unique vintage-style handles on each drawer, and the raw wood finish would be perfect in my little boy's bedroom.
Petrified wood bookends look like exotic stones, and the colors are soft and neutral. These are pretty enough to display with or without the books.
I've always enjoyed sturdy wood-handled tools and utensils. These cheese knives are stainless steel with elegant teak handles.
I really like this large wood clock with iron Roman numeral face numbers. It reminds me of a wine barrel, and I love the mix of wood and iron. It looks like it belongs in my dining room.
These luxurious wood grain wrapping paper sheets are almost the gift themselves. No matter what you wrap them around, your recipient will feel treasured. I love the versatile way they could be used during the winter months. They would make a great backdrop for favorite photos and look beautiful pasted into the base of a serving tray.Next: Wonderful Wood Countertops for Kitchen and Bath
I really love these mini wooden puzzle pieces. Though the Etsy seller suggests using them for beading, I think they are cute enough for use as decor on a coffee table or in a jar on a game table.
