Working on the Reclaimed Materials Shed (only the hardware is new/virgin material). The wood came from demolition phases of the casa while standing seam metal roof and corrugated sides and door are from salvage yards. Shelving and interior is also from reused products and scraps.
Here is the endcap to the ponywall of my bar between kitchen/dining: scrap steel plate that Mariessa's dad, iron-worker Leonard, custom cut for me from his salvage yard:
Set in place and looking good!
Cutting the steel.
Applying American Clay (Loma, Napa Olive)....My technique is improving!
Kitchen recycled glass tile mosaic grouted and sealed.
I learned my lesson with doing a custom mosaic and setting each tile one by one...
I stumbled across these dope retro light bulbs at the ReStore and decided to create a sculptural dining chandelier ...
carfully, magically setting and securing each bulb...
form is taking shape....
light sculpture chandelier by day...
light sculpture by night... I won't go into what went wrong... the appearance is alright for a first attempt, eh?
