I love things made from wood and these beautiful rustic items from Etsy shop Gray Works make my heart beat a little bit faster.

The Milkmaid stool is a variation of the traditional three-legged milking stool. Gray Works has updated the design with quirky but steady asymmetry for a style that works everywhere from modern, to rustic, to farmhouse retro. The seat is hand hewn, and the legs are turned in their shop.
