These are great examples of what a great slab of wood can do when coupled with some eclectic materials.

I love this bench and the idea that this bench has DIY written all over it. This entry way is a part of Apartment Therapy’s home tour of a Boston residence. I am inspired to start collecting different, eccentric legs and see what happens.

This faux fireplace is another great contribution to Apartment Therapy. This couple stained plywood different colors and glued the entire thing together. They topped the fireplace with a fine piece of wood for an enriching effect. You can see the steps to making the faux fireplace here.
