Built of Barnwood - The Beauty of Being "Green"

Most everyone nowadays is familiar with the term "green".  Being "green" implies that one is taking necessary steps to reduce their impact on the environment.  Things like reducing, reusing and recycling are a vital part of this movement.

Built of Barnwood (BOB) was founded on this philosophy!

Bob and Ian Somerhalder started Built of Barnwood for the purpose of reclaiming, recycling and re-purposing vintage wood and building materials into beautiful pieces of art and home accessories.  It's about  "a passion for reusing things that are often forgotten, finding hidden beauty, and creating something from what we have."

This family business is based in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi but has a worldwide customer and fan base.  The Somerhalder family motto of "NEVER GIVE UP" has become a "battle cry" in the lives of people everywhere.

The most important factor of BOB is the people behind it.  I have had the privilege of meeting and talking with Bob and Dena.  They are the friendliest, most down-to-earth people you could ever hope to meet.  You immediately feel that you are talking to a friend!

If you are not familiar with Built of Barnwood, you really need to take a look.  Get to know this amazing family!  You can find them on the web, on Facebook or on Twitter!
