Celebrate Earth Day!

Earth Day is coming up fast (April 22)! We're encouraging everyone to pledge an act of green this year... which is easy to do through this link.

All of us at Roots have pledged to buy used, recycled and upcycled goods instead of new ones and we're making it easy for you all to do the same. Make your pledge and then come into Roots to have fun fulfilling it!

Great finds!

Don't you just love the smells and sounds -and the pure happiness that warm weather brings? Hunting and gathering is so much more fun when our hands and feet are warm and dry. And we ARE having fun!

JUST IN!

The primitive green cupboard is absolutely fabulous! It measures 39" long x 15" deep x 32" tall. $375.
We've been asked alot about old canning jars...we now have a great selection, clean & with lids. $9-$24.

THANKS!

Patina

Patina: a pleasing surface finish that develops with age. For metal, it's all about the rust...

a few of our favorites (we have many more!)

Garden stakes are 41" tall and only $12 each.
StL (rally?) squirrel is 13" tall. $52.
We always have a great assortment of vintage pottery!
Assortment of signage. This one is approx. 94"x12". $86.

We hear so often "I love that Restoration Hardware look, but just can't afford it!" Roots has found that look for a fraction of the cost and keeping with our "green goals" the pieces are Missouri-made. The table is pine and quartersawn oak and finished with an oil and water polyurethane blend which makes it extremely durable. The hardware (square nails and carriage bolts) are antique. It measures 60" long x 31" wide. This truly is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind table. The log end tables are finished to a beautiful patina. They are solid walnut, and measure 24"x12" and 15.5"x12". Just got our Country Living magazine yesterday, and they have repurposed log seating on the cover! So here's the best news, we want to work with this local craftsman and we want to give our customers a fair price! Win-win-win.
