Design Star & New Benches

Last night I watched the latest episode of Design Star. I think the designers are really starting to show their talents.

The design teams had to decorate two hotel rooms based on the home design wishes of country music star, Sara Evans. The look was a sophisticated shabby chic. They used a good bit of reclaimed materials which I love. It's always inspiring to see someone use salvaged materials in a new design - especially at a hotel. The sofas chosen were unlike most of the very hard and unattractive sofas you'll find at most hotels. That alone made you want to visit the hotel to get away from it all.

Well one team of designers ended up using a bench at the end of the bed, which reminded me that I'd failed to share the benches we have with you. So I just listed them this morning.

Since I have a thing for natural materials, I love the fact that these are made with milk paints and tung oil - and that they are so shabby chic.
