Monday Musings: Burly Burly Wood

I like my wood like I like my men, big and burly. OK, not actually. I prefer my men that way but not my wood. After scouring the internet high and low this weekend for the perfect dresser in my new house, I came across a large burled wood buffet from Drexel. It honestly set my world on fire. After stalker like tendencies and about 4 consecutive and unanswered desperado emails I fired off to the Craigslist listing, I finally got a reply from the owner. I swear, when it comes to my furniture, I get clingy. I know you all are dying to know what happened...I am picking the piece up this morning. Thank you burly burly wood. Until I can put this baby on display for you all, here are some other burled wood pieces that are doing it for me. 

So I lied. Here is a sneak peek of the soon to be mine piece. Isn't he so burly and lovely? If all goes well, maybe I can style mine with a Santa Clause as well. 
Check me out on Twitter today for random updates in project full house reno. It gets real crazy up in there. Promise. XOXO

  5. Omg, major score! Love it, you lucky girl. I wish I had more luck on Craigslist, it intimidates me! So true story when we were moving out of our house in college my room mate was throwing away a burled wood cube side table and Matt snagged it because he loved it. Well we still have that cube and just saw one on 1st Dibs for like $1200. Burled wood rocks.

  6. Love the hardware on your piece, and that third photo I'm pinning immediately. Fun fact: I actually have that same scorched bamboo cabinet in the first photo (although the backing in mine is different). I'm crazy about burled wood too as I just picked up an Asian desk at an estate sale and just over the weekend, a faux burled wood laminate and chrome table for my kids' playroom. Love.
