We're in the AP!


Special thanks to Holly Ramer for including us in her story about Faux Bois for the Associated Press. So weird to see Its(K)notWood syndicated! Check out the story here, including some fun items Holly found.

If you're new to It's(k)notwood, we invite you to check out our archives (to the right) we've got over two years worth of Faux Bois nutty-ness! (thanks again Holly!)

Last year, West Elm had this great white faux bois mirror. This year, they've freshened it up by offering it in black! This would definitely make a statement on a wall!

FauxFaux Lamp by Stray Dog designs

Look at this cute faux bois lamp from Stray Dog designs! The base is actually handmade of papier mache in Haiti! We love the unexpected combination of the paper with the clear base and finial. Looks great in the all white monotone too! Kinda pricey, but maybe it could be fun DIY inspiration for someone? available from Stray Dog Designs.
