Sustainability – Thinking Outside the Barn

What happens when a building is demolished – say a old barn? Well, normally, the material is burned or carried off to a landfill — just another negative impact to our environment. “Reclaiming” or “repurposing” wood means giving this beautiful old wood — steeped in natural charm — a new life. Check out Heritage Salvage.

It’s hard to put into words the serenity and grace that some of these pieces have — tables, armoires, picture frames – you name it. Nadine Chisholm, a warm and wonderful person, showed my wife and me dozens of fantastic items created from this forward-thinking process when we met her yesterday. If you happen to be in Northern California anytime between now at August 10, you’ll want to run by the Sonoma Country Fair and have this experience for yourself.
