I love the outdoors, and I love to bring the outdoors indoors, so it’s no surprise that I’m in love with this Entwined Root furniture from Viva Terra. I agree with Daily Dose that these pieces should be used sparingly but if I get a bigger house someday I’ll be looking to make room for more than just one of these unique pieces. Handmade from 100% reclaimed wood from fallen roots, branches, and trunks (trees are never cut down) each piece obviously ends up completely different from every other piece. The collection includes numerous furniture items including a table, mirror, coat stand, and stool. $149-$498

Vintage Airline Food Carts is available in several fun exterior finishes, the interiors all feature a retractable serving tray and 14 racks to hold drawers and shelves (which you can buy separately).

Do you think your elbows would hurt less when bumped by this colorful cart?
