Some tables are made of hollowed out logs and you can put a light in the center to give the table a soft glow that is very appealing. This is a timeless style that will add a touch of cozy practicality to your home.
2. Barn doors
These great space-saving doors hang on a sliding rail so you don't need to have space for them to open and close. They can be made from any type of wood you want, from reclaimed wood to fresh new knotty pine to darker stained or painted wood.
These doors make a room feel instantly cozy and are great for half a bath, rooms in small apartments, or a house that just needs a little touch of rustic charm that is still chic. This is a great way to use wood in your home that has a wonderful practical purpose that isn't just decorative.
