This 26 1/2 foot long project was installed in the breakroom of a global spirits manufacturer. 75 year old retired barrels were broken down and the pieces were pressure washed to prepare them for finishing. Two coats of GF Clear Poly in Satin covered the backs of the barrel staves and three coats on the front brought 75 years’ worth of life and history back out of the tired old pieces. The full pieces were basket weaved and the small segments of staves were cobblestone pieced like a...
"We took an old broken down Antique Armoire and transformed it into our favorite reNEWed piece thus far. The bones were there, along with the original coat hooks, drawer and drop down cabine, it just needed a little vision and work to make it into something special.

The colors used were: Coastal Blue, Klein Blue, Stillwater Blue, Summertime Blue, Fjord Blue, Halcyon Blue, Patina Green, Persian Blue, Millstone, Driftwood,...
"{PAINT it forward piece} A couple months ago I made the announcement that I wanted to Pay it Forward by donating either the proceeds of a furniture sale or donating a piece itself in an auction/raffle type setting to an organization or foundation. I was blessed to cross paths with a wonderful local family who tragically lost their son a couple years ago to brain cancer. Ryan was a mere 30 years young when his life ended but he left behind a legacy. Inspired by Restoration Hardware Baby's "...
