spice rack

this next piece is a perfect example of 'necessity is the mother of invention'.



a friend came in looking for a custom job- a funky spice rack that fits inside this very specific space. i let the idea marinate for a bit and this is what they ended up with. the dark wood stripes are an old sewing drawer and tip forward for storage of little bags. the grid is from an old coca cola crate and the rest is more bits of reclaimed this and that. time to cook!

industrial cabinet

this fantastic cabinet was at the restore in springfield.


it was meant to be built into a wall, and was no easy feat to move- but i couldn't leave it behind.


it's a pass through medical supply cabinet. the doors are exactly the same on the back side (or is it the front?)


we added a nice plywood frame and put it on industrial casters.


made some extra shelves,


and took the old crusty paint off the inside.
now it's ready for the 'where to put it' debate. mstr bath to bed or dining to kitchen?

mid-century sofa

i try not to do too much upholstery. it's just not really my thing. but sometimes.... i just can't say no.

when a friend sent me a picture of this broken couch on the street, i dropped everything and ran over to pick it up.


new foam, a few very solid repairs and i love it so much i had to set it free (my family would have destroyed it and broken my heart ;) )


look at that design- mmmmmmmmmmm.


the fabric is from ikea.


even the back is sexy.

rustic cabinet

this project has been stewing in my head now for a while and i finally came across the right piece to bring it to life.


and here it is after!


you know we don't like to let anything go to waste, so i used a lot of scraps from the wood fencing we used on the exterior of the roost on the sides of this piece.


the double-tiered top lends itself to many different uses. i just love seeing the raw bark edge!


an old window and an old door cut down make the perfect pair!

the hardware may just be my most favorite thing! not sure where the steel one originated from but the black piece is an old spool holder from a vintage singer sewing machine. love!
