Margaux and Walter Kent, a local couple, create beautiful housewares out of found objects for their Etsy shop, Peg and Awl. Their reclaimed wood pieces are particularly stunning, somehow capturing a modern, clean aesthetic while maintaining their rustic charm. The entire shop makes you want to buy a cozy little cabin in the woods far away from civilization and wear prairie clothes while collecting eggs from your chickens. Or you can just buy them for your current living situation and pretend you're more of a grown up than that IKEA bookcase leads on.
