From now until Sept. 30, save up to 25 percent on eco retailer Viva Terra's furniture line. My all-time favorite, the Gustavian Bed Frame, is part of the sale, and I'm having a hard time resisting its gorgeous shape and reclaimed wood frame.

While Asian interior design is too specific for my aesthetic, I've always loved Tansu chests, traditional Japanese chests handcrafted from fine woods, often with elaborate metal hardware. I've been on the hunt for a Tansu for years that is discreet enough to blend with both my modern and Eastern furnishings, and I think I've found it. The Viva Terra Tansu Storage Chest ($423-807, reduced from $489-949) has absolutely stunning, serif-like, C-shaped handles, and its plantation-grown kiri wood is very subdued.

A dining table is a big investment. So why pay full price when you can swoop up a gorgeous one at 30 percent off? Made from reclaimed railroad tie wood with a sturdy, waxed metal frame, the Viva Terra Railroad Tie Dining Table and Chairs ($278-1,468) is a beautiful set for a casual, rustic home, or an eat-in kitchen if you have a separate dining room.

The tree-branch trend may be giving way to birch and other motifs, but I still appreciate a lovely tree-inspired accent. Especially one that's sleek and metallic rather than brown and burly; even better if it's on sale.
If you're knot ready to give up the tree trend just yet, snap up these Viva Terra Recycled Aluminum Bark Candlesticks ($89, marked down from $179).

Even if you're a coffee person, the Viva Terra Porcelain Branch Teapot ($34, reduced from $69) is so woodsy and whimsically beautiful, I'd endorse using it just for decoration. Or, you can cut the stems of your favorite bouquet short, and fill it for a fresh, Spring-y centerpiece. It's true, the cream and sugar set is sold out, but I think the Michael Aram Twig Sugar and Creamer Set ($40) would work marvelously with it.
