As I’ve mentioned before I absolutely love reclaimed wood. Whether it be nailed to the wall as cladding, used as flooring, turned into a table…anything! If you’re following my pins on http://www.pinterest.com you will see that I have an entire board devoted to reclaimed wood images. Here is one of my favourites.
Chippy, crumbly, reclaimed wood in shades of chalky greens, blues and warm honey brown=weak knees for me
So you can imagine my reaction when I came across this image…
When I clicked onto the image I discovered that it was actually a reclaimed wood wallpaper from Piet Hein Eek called ‘Scrapwood Paper’ that is glued to an Ikea BESTA bench which costs €90. I couldn’t believe it.. how clever is that?! So cooool!

You would need to coat the paper with some polyurethane to seal and protect it but what an incredible transformation!
What do ya think?
