Do you enjoy standing out from the crowd. I know I do. I don't mind how the rest of the world goes round and I don't dislike the status quo, but, I really love that feeling that I am unlike anyone else--that I have my own tastes and styles that others may not consider proper or even acceptable at times. May I'm just naive, but I am always very comfortable with my decisions I make, not because they are rogue but because they are genuinely good decisions.
This is true, even in the small or unimportant choices I make day to day. So when I look for something to adorn my home, I like to look for something I find unique or just a bit different to fit what I feel is my style. In the time I've been writing about home entertainment furniture, among other topics, I've found some of them that I wanted to share with people who have similar feelings. Here they are, the unique audio-video furniture I would like to find a way to incorporate into my home.
Furniture used for entertainment but produced by people who are anti technology in their personal lives. You heard me right, I've stumbled across some home entertainment furniture made by the Amish community. In case you are not aware or up to date on your Amish knowledge, my understanding is that they believe in preserving traditional methods and values. As this is the case, they refrain from using motor vehicles such as cars or tractors. They do not watch TV or videos and they don't use cell phones. However, what they do is make furnishings and other handmade anything that is unparalleled in quality and craftsmanship. Maybe it's a little cynical, but I love to support my modern technology with furniture made by those who refuse to take part in it.
A month or so ago I attended a "green" products fair, and found some really amazing work by a company who was trying to save the rain forest. OK, maybe that wasn't their whole focus, but it was a part of it for sure.
The name was Greentea Designs and they travel the world to gather "reclaimed wood" which is basically wood taken from a a structure that they would normally throw out or burn somewhere. In this way, the do good for the environment and can make amazing end piece furniture that anyone would love to have on display in their house. Take a look at some of their work. It is second to none. It is a bit pricier, but hey, you're saving the rain forest.
The last thing I wanted to mention is something that seems to have walked right out of the movies and into your living room. A motorized entertainment center. That's right, with the touch of a button on your remote control on a switch on the wall, you can reveal your set as if by magic. Revealing itself from what seems like an average furniture piece, you can amaze your friends and family with a futuristic style that few people have hanging around the house. The only catch may be that you may forget it isn't a surface to put miscellaneous things on (kind of like the bar is at my house) and have to clean it off before indulging in your favorite Star Trek flick, well, either that or the price. But think of how cool you would be! - 29958
