Wood You Rather...

The Bite:
image…eat fried worms or listen to "The Macarena" on repeat for 2 days straight? How about choice #3: Between now and your forthcoming NYE champagnefest, get a sweet deal on floor samples and overstock pieces at Environment Furniture in Culver City (new WeHo showroom coming soon…). No driftwood lamps or other recycled furniture clichés here – check out the modern coffee tables (the Mushroom one's the bomb) and platform beds (see photo) crafted from warm rosy to dark espresso woods. All of its wood furni uses a blend of reclaimed Brazilian Peroba timber - from century-old buildings and barns - with responsibly harvested mahogany. Wouldn't you?
Wanna Try: 
Environment Furniture, available at H.D. Buttercup, 3225 Helms. Ave., Culver City. Map It (310-945-5458); and 8126 Beverly Blvd., WeHo. Map It (323-782-0296). Santos Platform Bed, $3,195.

Cocktail Fact

In Cambodia, tarantulas cooked whole (hairs, eyes, and fangs totally intact) are considered a delicacy.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters opt for a reclaimed wood table rather than one made from virgin wood, we'll save about 1,043 trees.
