Home decor pieces from recycled materials

Recycling is part of the main stream now. Salvaged wood is seen everywhere, from dining tables to wall panels, and even lighting. See houzz.com for chandeliers and lamps made with salvaged wood, drift wood and rusted iron. Leather is a handsome and durable material that transcends trends. However, over the last decade its popularity has expanded from the familiar and tactile den sofa and office chair to include floor tiles and countertops, furniture, wall panels and cabinets, all using recycled leather products.
