Erde Designs Review

hey have you guys noticed my Project Wonderful Ads? I have found some pretty cool companies that like to advertise on Prissy Green. There are two sets of ads, one in the far left column, that has 4 ad boxes, and one in the near left column that is really long. Please pay these guys all a visit when you come here, as some of the places are quite remarkable!

I found one to be so remarkable, I was ready to purchase one of his designs. The site is Erde Designs and you can find it at Etsy. He builds the most beautiful pieces out of wood to hold either candles, herbs, vases for individual flowers or anything your heart desires. The make a great centerpiece, or windowsill adornment!

When I first saw them, I quickly picked up my laptop and went over to where Craig was working and showed him. He thought they were really cool too. We have black metal end tables and a coffee table and I knew it would look perfect there, as we have dark wood everywhere else in the living room. I was right!
Now granted these pictures I took don’t do his work quite the justice it deserves! So here are a few from his etsy shop. He makes his items out of all sorts of wood, some recycled and some not, but all beautiful jus the same. Mahogany, Pine, Birch, Red Oak and many more. All come with different finishes, and some are made in a way that give them tons of depth and extra design quality.

Trust me I know a little something about quality wood, I grew uo with a step-dad that is a master carpenter and has a 6 or 7th generation carpentry company. Anytime we went anywhere he was knocking the wood tables, cabinets etc to see how they were made… actually I said that like he doesn’t do it anymore, scratch that! he still does it!

If you want to purchase one of his unique and handmand items, I promise you will fall in love with it! He is a very nice guy and when I first approached him to ask him the depth of the containers, he let me know that his wide is a Prissy Green reader! Coincidence? But instead of having me purchase one, he wanted to send me one so I could review it here! Sweet blog of mine!

I am going to use mine for now as a candle holder, but when the candles run out I will add cati most likely. But I do have plans to purchase another one, I think it would look great on our faux copper finish dining table as another centerpiece, the dining table it next to 3 huge windows and I think would just look spectacular with some herbs in it!

If you would like to include SOY candles in your order, simply add them to your cart, they are only $3 each! that in itself is a steal! His prices on his wooden craftsmanship is extremely reasonable too, priced at only $15-30 each!
