Do not get distracted by the beautiful console table.  Avert your eyes and focus on the wall behind it.

Twisting something that may have become little cliche into something fresh is design genius.  Stacked wood walls, while eternally attractive and rustic-ly beautiful are (as of right now) I think on the downward side of the trend curve.  But with a change of scale (bigger logs) and the addition of the zen pebbles, the design is now all cool and new.  We will have to wait and see if this is a trend that takes off.
