Thank you for your post about reclaiming wood instead of felling trees.

Thank you for participating in Blog Action Day.

Kudos to you for participating in blog action day.

I did not participate. However, I wrote a belated post of my own about an environmental issue that might strike a cord with some of your readers.

Brazilian Teak Floors, Slave Labor, and the Destruction of the Rain Forest.

You can find it at:

Anything that you can do to help promote awareness of this issue will be greatly appreciated. Normally, I don’t ask for this kind of help, but the issue is that important to me.

Thank you!

I’m always late finding out about these events!

My husband has always been one to recycle and revive old furniture. He loves antiques and those that can’t be sold as antiques he usually turns into something new. He would love your lounge chair!

Nice, Ms Noemi! I totally agree with reusing and recycling. I hope more and more people will do it.
I personally like pieces that have history. For me, old pieces have more character.
