Ideal Bite

Wanna spare your house from ho-hum furniture? Strike out to Counter Evolution NYC, and pick up modern and whimsical tables, benches, and countertops repurposed from old wooden bowling lanes. We loved: the Gutter Ball entryway bench, the old-school Score Keeper desk, and the minimalist Brooklyn dining table (see photo for the warm maple-pine mix). Half the world's forests have disappeared over the last century, so opting for a reclaimed-wood piece over a new one keeps trees growing. And if you don't see what you want, chances are CE will make it custom for you. Score.
