Reclaimed Furniture Is The New Trend For Decking Up Interiors
When environment is the hot concern of the millennium and things are going green, reclaimed furniture has come up as an eco-friendly way of dressing up your home. The United Nations Environment Program has enlisted twelve tree species as endangered. But these trees have always been a very popular choice for furniture creation. Every year 40 million acres forests are wiped out off the planet just for the sake of using the wood for making furniture. But now that these limited natural resources have started to dwindle, people are searching for environment friendly options for decking up their interiors. One of these green options is reclaimed wood.
What is reclaimed wood?
Reclaimed wood is nothing but recycled old lumber that has been discarded from decommissioned buildings and homes. This old lumber is then harvested, recycled and given another life. For example, you can use reclaimed wood in creating a dressing table or a coffee table.
Advantages of reclaimed furniture
There are several advantages of using reclaimed wood for making furniture. One is, as already said the environmental advantage of preserving the virgin trees and second is the absence of toxic substances. The normal furniture that people generally use is polished with paints and non-toxic glue. The concept of reclaimed furniture is to create beautiful home decor and utility articles that will boast of high quality and not even impact the environment negatively.
Create different looks
Reclaimed wood is excellent for creating rustic pieces of furniture that have a special aesthetic value. In many cases, it is even hard to tell if the reclaimed furniture is old. This is because, while refurbishing the reclaimed wood, all sorts of saw blade marks, nail holes and stains are removed to give that flawless look. For those who wish to get that antique look, they can ask the builders to retain these marks for that well-worn charm in their furniture pieces. In other cases, reclaimed furniture can be given a wide variety of designs with traditional or contemporary motifs to get that customized look.

How do I clean an antique barn board pine floor?
We have antique barn board floors in our living room and kitchen. (They were reclaimed from old barns.) They are beautiful - all different widths and lengths, individually nailed in place. They were finished with a low-shine veranthane product. I've been cleaning them with vinegar and water - but that is just not good enough. We have three kids, and the floors are dull and smudged now, even right after cleaning. Help please!
Murphy's Oil Soap is the way to go. Since it sounds like you have some build up you may need to use a brush this first time. Work in small areas to control the amount of water on the floor. Once you get it clean a simple mop with the oil soap will keep it up. My house is 120 years old with wood floors and four kids, this works!!!
