New growth from old
Bjorling & Grant is producing its own collection of furniture made from roots of old-growth Northern California redwoods and reclaimed lumber from joists, piers and bridges. Owner Ian Grant -- who did college summer stints as a cabinetmaker and carpenter -- said he made the prototypes, now being produced in his St. Louis Park shop.
Introduced at the recent High Point furniture market, pieces include end and coffee tables, lamps and consoles; prices start at $200 and range up to $5,500. The shop is also turning out custom pieces. 3906 35th St. W., St. Louis Park; 612-827-3000.

NotesCheck out your fellow Twin Citians and their spaces featured in May media: www.cookiemag.com features a Q and A with St. Paul homeowner Lesa Bader. See oodles of pictures showing how she and her husband, Mike, brought modernist sensibilities to their older bungalow at www.startribune.com/a4352.

Traditional Home's Best of Everything edition features eight pages on the luxe 1927 digs of Karl and Kristie Bretzke at 510 Groveland, designed by Andrew Flesher. The magazine devotes the same amount of space to the color-splashed reno of Dana and Steve Alpeter's 1934 Edina home with architect Leffert Tigelaar and designer Debra Martinson.
