The Redeploy Rug is one of those rugs you can’t help but approach and step on just to see what it feels like underneath your feet. This durable rug from designer Rebekah Rauser is constructed out of wool blankets, which are stitched with an organic-looking pattern and hand-stuffed with more wool-blend. It looks so comfy for the feet that you might feel the slight urge to snuggle underneath it on the floor. http://www.rauserdesign.com via Apartment Therapy

I like to see materials that would have been thrown out turned into new and inspiring pieces, and this collection from William Stranger is definitely among the most creative I’ve seen. These pieces are made from reclaimed stripes of wood from an abandoned bowling alley. Called Second Life, this collection includes tables, wall art, and more, all of which would have been trash if it wasn’t for Stranger. This will certainly make you think twice next time you see a demolition site won’t it?!
