Repurposed with Style in Honor of Earth Day
April 22, 2015 · oldbarnstar · 1 min read
Each year on April 22, we recognize Earth Day, dedicated to Mother Nature, with eco-friendly community activism all over the world. Today we’re celebrating Earth Day by paying homage to barnwood furniture, as it comes straight from the source and is a perfect example of practicing conservation in your home décor. Naturally, it’s always better to recycle, or in this case up-cycle. We’re conserving and preventing the unnecessary falling of trees by using beautiful reclaimed wood in all of our barnwood furniture.

Why You Should Choose Barnwood Furniture to Help Make a Difference
In addition, to conservation, reclaimed barnwood furniture has a few other benefits that are extremely important to consider when investing in a piece of furniture. Conservation
- By sourcing local wood and breathing new life into it, less wood is needed to be cut down from farmed forests. This results in a huge environmental advantage.
- Old wood tends to have a together grain structure and creates a much more stable and long-lasting furniture piece to be passed down to future generations to love.
Custom-Made
- Each piece of barnwood furniture can be custom-made to fit your personality and family’s needs. Plus, each piece is already coming with a special story and history behind it!

At Old Barn Star we have plenty of in-stock barnwood furniture for you to explore or maybe you have an idea of your own. Contact us to talk about your wants and needs regarding a new piece of furniture!
