I admit it - I am straight up obsessed with wood veneer these last couple weeks. Obsessed.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I saw the wooden bows above and never forgot them.
A couple years after that and I saw this bamboo lamp. Now, I know it’s not veneer, but the aesthetic is similar to the bows and I think (am hoping!) it could also be made from veneer.
And earlier this year, Justina over at Compai posted this photo of a vintage bentwood plant hanger she’d found. I love this thing so much!
Fast forward to this Christmas and seeing Suzonne Stirling use BARC paper in her Family Christmas Modern Christmas spread. WHAHHHTT? Cut-able paper-like wood? Like, with scissors??!!
I ordered some immediately.
Two days later I came home and started making a Wood Veneer board on Pinterest.
And I found these lamps and mobile. !!!!!!!!!!!! It’s hard for me to adequately describe how much I am in love with these things.

I know this whole post is one hyperbolic love fest to wood veneer, but I can’t help it. I am so excited to experiment with this material in 2013!
Natural and modern. Organic and clean lined….

And the hanging plant shelf – swoon!
I am what you can call a veneer lover. Recently, I have asked my interior designer to embellish my rooms with furniture items made of wood and veneer. Believe me, I couldn’t even trust my eyes after seeing the finished work.
Great post Elizabeth, I love wood veneer!
Thanks for eye opener :-)
