If you love that whole raw wood thing, check out this stunning ensemble from Restoration Hardware. I’m drooling, simply drooling over the look of this whole room and its Belgian aesthetic.

The Trestle table is made of 2½”-thick pieces of pine salvaged from a distillery in Great Britain, and comes complete with all sorts of character-enhancing dents and dings. The Wine Barrel chandelier is handmade from reclaimed French oak wine barrels hoops and staves. Both are available in limited quantities, since the materials they’re made from are limited, so get them now if you’re interested!
