Make it Metal

June 15, 2010

Starring our most popular farm table wrapped in Zinc

7′x40″ this table can be used inside or out.

The price is $1695.00

Whatever your style, be it industrial, coastal, bungalow,even tradtional this table takes on a different personality.

We left this one a soft chalky gray, but it can also be darkened to take on a more industrial feel.

Each table takes the acid wash differently so no two are alike, if darkened you see more of the wash pattern.

STOP in the shop and mention you saw this on the website for 15% off.


Going green island style

June 14, 2010

Our newest architectural  creation is a 64-inch long, 39-inch high, 25-inch deep kitchen island with two-inch heart-of-pine boards and a vintage, decorative window.

This wonderful island can be used inside or out for a fun  family gathering or entertaining friends.

The 2″ thick old heart of pine boards are sumptuous.


A new treasure

June 8, 2010

For all those who loved the custom-made refurbished furniture we wrote about a few months ago, take a look at what we have for you now! This desk was made by a friend to Blue Moon in Georgia with salvaged wood and furniture pieces. Classic!

It’s open on both sides underneath and would also make a great entrance table.We just love the sturdy look of the molded bases.

Come check it out for yourself!


True upcycling

May 24, 2010

Blue Moon has always believed in being green — even before green was hip! Salvaging items, turning trash into treasures: it’s what we’re all about. A great example just rolled into the shop.

This antique industrial cart on wheels makes a fantastic coffee table with character. But wait! There’s more. Blue Moon plans to repurpose the cart into a kitchen island by adding a top of reclaimed wood . Recycled and upgraded — we call that upcycling! Oh, and that colorful framed print? That’s a vintage poster from Paris, dated 1954. Tres chic!

The table’s on sturdy wheels and is affixed with four rare hickory sticks that were once used to guide the cart around some old factory. Just picture it!

Clearly lovely

May 17, 2010

You may have noticed a recent LUCITE trend that’s been sweeping home decor magazines and blogs. But we’ve found some amazing vintage chairs that take the trend to another level!

These three lovely lucite chairs are so retro and original. The fabric is cool, but they could also be recovered — maybe in something solid and bright. Day-Glo pink, perhaps?

Oh, and did we mention they’re on wheels? So cool!


Get bright!

April 19, 2010

This week we’re really feeling cheerful. Think pops of color, lively patterns and twinkly accessories. We decided to show you a mix of Blue Moon and Fresh Threads goodies that speak to the spirit of fun!

This bright orange cabinet would brighten any room. Fill it with mix-and-matched china or colorful books for an eclectic look. Or go with one color scheme. Perhaps all ivory, glass or a complementary hue, like teal.

Or use it as a wardrobe in your bedroom to display fun accessories. Picture colorful shoes all lined up in rows. Or purses!

This woven tote from Fresh Threads just screams summer, don’t you think?

The best presents come in small packages… small teal packages with white bows, right? Any of these lovely baubles would be sure to brighten you up! :)


Bring home the sea

April 14, 2010

Don’t know about you, but we’ve been reveling in this beach weather  – opening up the windows and soaking up the sunshine. It puts us in the mood to celebrate the shore.

This cabinet is made of wood from industrial workshop carts. The chippy, driftwood-esque paint job is custom craftsmanship from a good friend of Blue Moon (thanks, Amy!)

And speaking of driftwood, check out our lovely little display of all kinds of seaside treasures!


These sailor beer bottles are authentic — and date back to the 1800′s! We’re not kidding!

Wouldn’t this helmet shell look fabulous ANYWHERE? What about as a unique bookend? Or perhaps as part of a centerpiece for a summer beachside barbecue? Are we invited?


Lighten up for spring

March 7, 2010

Warmer weather is finally (finally!) sneaking back into our lives. As we peel off our winter clothes and put them back where they belong — storage — we can’t help but think that our homes could use a little lightening up, too.

Check out these gorgeous hand-painted Italian flameback chairs. Upholstered in blue-and-white vintage French ticking fabric, they’re perfect for welcoming spring. And they’re comfy too!

Brunch anyone?


Brand new custom creations!

February 23, 2010

Sure, we all love to find that perfect piece of scavenged perfection — that treasure tucked away in the corner of some antique store or flea market that seems made just for you. But once in awhile, it’s cool to have something that really WAS made just for YOU. And it’s even cooler if that something is made from bits and pieces of other salvaged treasures!

Thanks to a good friend of Blue Moon who has a 5,000-square foot architectural salvage warehouse outside of Vadalia, Ga., we have three new amazing items in the store. Each of these is an example of custom pieces you could order yourself!

This gorgeous farm table is made of 2×8 heart pine planks that are more than 100 years old! This is sold, but another is expected to arrive in the store Saturday! The price will be $1,450.

Also already scooped up is this huge wooden cabinet with french door fronts. So much storage! Another one, also $1,495, should be in on Saturday!

This black cabinet can be used as a bar, server, kitchen island or media station. We just love the wood top contrasted with the dark front. This one is $795.

And, like we said, you can order your own custom pieces similar to these in whatever size you need. Call us to set it up!


If you’ve got the space, scoop this up fast!

February 17, 2010

We’re so obsessed with this 10-foot-long industrial table that we’ve put it right in our front window. Can’t believe it’s still around! (Maybe, depending on when you read this…) Anyway, if you’ve got the space for a 10-foot-long gorgeous wooden-and-teal-metal dining table — well, first of all, we’re jealous, and secondly, GET THIS!

Getting the whole thing in the picture was a challenge, OK? But surely you can see how cool this is. Plus, we’ve sanded down and completely refinished the top, making it perfectly sanitary for dining or just hanging out.

Did we mention the teal metal detail? LOVE.
