interiors [live edge wood]

Live edge refers to furniture that incorporates the unfinished, natural edge of a piece of wood, which can make for a gorgeous organic touch in a home. I've always appreciated wood with personality, complete with knots, burrs, and interesting grain work. Here are a few of my favorite images. Man I need to get a home soon so I can put some of these into practice!

Apparently this piece was salvaged from the front lawn of someone's house in the San Francisco Bay...if I get so lucky, you can be sure I'd ship it home.
