show us what you've made, restored or destroyed.

Here is a studio apartment that I've "restored" or destroyed depending on your point of view

I put a new concrete porch on my 1950's house. It was a big improvement over the original, which had broken in half and sunk into the ground at a crazy angle.

I recently refinished a shell chair. The fabric was good, but the padding was reduced to cornmeal... before and after shot.
I also built a gas pipe and reclaimed wood shelving unit.

Great thread
Adam,
Is that a min bed? The apartment looks great. Just curious - what color/shade of white are the walls?

good question
The walls are shell white in an eggshell surface and trim a bright white in semi gloss. As for the bed, I don't know what you're asking me but I can tell you it was pine that I painted the same as the trim. I had a very tight budget for all the work and I had to make some compromises but all in all I'm happy with the outcome.

Min bed
Sorry, I was asking if it was the "min bed" from design within reach. Looking closer now I can tell it isn't. Cool bed though. I like the min bed for our place but it's too expensive.

I wish
MY apartment was photographed by a locations service ! Not much chance of that, I guess. . .

Well...
...I spent the last six months feverishly cleaning, culling, tossing, rearranging, painting, repairing, and finishing our 1956 split level in order to sell it. And then it sold in 4 days so I had to quick find a new place to live (instead of taking my time) because the buyers wanted to close in 30 days. So I guess the last thing I did was to try to make this bland, boring (and teeny) rental townhouse with wall-to-wall beige carpet look like my home. It's not quite done so I'm not quite going to post pics but it's getting there. I think. Mostly I would like the last thing I've done is to lay on a warm beach somewhere for a week. Maybe later.

It's fine
Once I build it they are free to do what ever they prefer. I'm just thankful to have the work. And yes, that is the plan. Thanks for the kind words.
Brent
