This month we’ve been featuring our plethora of Old Doors in-store. These doors are like pieces of artwork which can certainly take the place of any painting on or against a wall. They are handcarved of reclaimed woods from India or Morocco with distressed brass inlay,nailhead details, and intricate ironwork.

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Hey everyone, here’s hoping that we all had a wonderful Christmas, Hannukah, and Kwansa! Right at this moment many are probably very relieved the Holidays are over and are ready for some much deserved renewal and a fresh, crisp home environment for the New Year. At In Every Corner, we constantly strive to present our customers with new ideas and  approaches to home design. It seems lately, we are asked questions about where we stand on the concept of going green or being eco-friendly. For us that’s an easy answer. We’ve been pretty much eco-friendly since the store opened more than two years ago. All of our furniture is made of reclaimed wood and is repurposed by our special artisans worldwide to hand make beautiful pieces of home furnishings for you. In Every Corner is firmly committed to eco-friendly sourcing.We’ve gone through extensive measures to assure and meet the requirements supporting sustainable products. We’ve partnered with several major manufacturers that adhere to strict eco-Brass Inlay Moroccan Tablefriendly quality control parameters as well.Camille Buffet or Plasma Cab

As shown in a few pictures here, our furniture shows knots, grains, cracks, and color variations which are natural characteristics of the reclaimed woods and that is what gives our pieces their natural beauty, uniqeness, and rustic appearance. claremont-round-table
