Nature in Decor: Branches

I have been seeing a couple of really great branches around my yard lately, and it got me thinking. I just love bringing any aspects of nature, and the outdoors, inside- so I looked around at how other people use branches inside.

Wild and a little crazy too! It looks cool for a cabin maybe, but I don't think I would have this chair in my own home.

I most certainly would have this end table in my house though! I think its fabulous!

I love the idea of painting a great branch and using it as decor somewhere up high.

Branches in a centerpiece are always stunning and amazing looking!

I used to have a log bed- but it looking nothing like this one! Mine was just like a log cabin bed (needed a bed frame and thats what was in the attic at the time). But I like the look of the branches up at the top of the posts.

How clever! I adore this idea- a hat/coat rack out of a branch!

This might be my favorite! Manzanita branches are a great shape, and are strong. Perfect for a jewelery holder!

Had to throw this in there... For those of you who don't have a fireplace- you can use a branch to hang your stockings! I love this idea- its super cute!

  1. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) was initially developed in Europe as an alternative to stone, masonry and concrete construction. It is essentially mass timber plates made from CLT Complete Building System smaller framing lumber laminated crosswise on their wide faces. North American CLT is typically laid up as three-, five-, seven-, and nine-layer panels of 2x6 lumber finger jointed lamstock.

    Here in North America, one might first see these mass timber plates CLT House wooden cross designs and wonder, “Why on earth would I need that big piece of wood to build with?” Well, there are several common misconceptions and myths surrounding the use of wood as a building material, especially these new mass timber CLT panels.

    One of the best resources for clarifying the topic is the 2013 US CLT Handbook—in collaboration with the American Wood Council U.S. WoodWorks—published the comprehensive guide Modern CLT construction to provide technical information for building professionals, illustrating CLT applications adapted to current codes and standards. The handbook addresses a number of these common misconceptions about wood and CLT.

    CLT panels have great potential for providing cost-effective building solutions cross laminated timber house for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, as well as large industrial facilities in accordance with the International Building Code.

    In 2015, CLT will be incorporated in the International Building cltarchitecture.com The recently adopted ANSI CLT Standard PRG 320 into the 2015 IBC, so you can request a design review based on it now and submit it as an alternate material, design and methods (AMM).

    Like using a few 12-inch-diameter logs to start a camp fire, mass timber cross laminated timber manufacturers does not catch fire easily. In fact, CLT acts more like concrete. Mass timber is not conventional so it is very hard to light, and once it is lit, it wants to put itself out
