Petrified wood is the newest decorating accent of choice and full blown obsession! The polished earth tones add a rustic yet stylish look to any area, and they can work for you whether your taste leans toward the modern, the conventional or somewhere in between.
“Petrified” comes from the Greek word for stone or stone, so petrified wood literally means “wood turned into rock” It is the fossilized remains of early plant which has gone through “permineralization,” a fancy term for all of the organic materials being replaced with minerals such as silica or quartz. But I’ll skip the remainder of the biology lesson.
Everything you really need to be aware of is that rarified timber is stunning when compared to a delicate sheen, mingling the warmth of timber with the depth and marbling of stone. The heavy material is the best souvenir of ancient times, and that doesn’t want that in their residence? Talk about a conversation piece.
Check out these petrified items, from budget friendly to uberluxe, and determine how they have been artfully used everywhere from living rooms to kitchens. — Lani from Mon Petit Chou Chou
