Ice Box Repurposed to a Liquor Cabinet
This is a classic wooden ice box from the early 1900’s that has been lovingly refinished and transformed into a beautiful home bar or storage cabinet. It is a great combination of vintage charm and sophisticated functionality! The quarter-sawn oak exterior has been carefully sanded and stained with a warm brown finish on all sides, […]
Case Bonita Wallhanging
Well, Casa Bonita made it through COVID by being bought by the creators of South Park. And there is a lottery to get tickets to get into the restaurant now. It’s been around a long time and is an icon on West Colfax. It’s been the place of many visits with out-of-towners and birthday parties. […]
A Desk to Remember
My client connected with me about converting a piano into a desk. He had tried to donate the piano but it had a cracked soundboard so they couldn’t take it. He came up with the idea of converting it to a desk to honor his wife who had passed away the previous summer. We talked […]
Antique Plant Stand Refinished
Some friends had a family heirloom that wanted to be refinished but was in pretty bad shape from water damage over the years, especially the top. I didn’t know about how to do veneer at the time so I bought a piece of marble from Amazon and that worked great. I stripped, sanded, and stained […]
Live Edge Repurposed End Tables
I repurposed an old desk into two end tables. The first thing I did was take it all apart and start refinishing it. I stained it with black stain and finished it with satin polyurethane. The top wasn’t in good shape so I created tops with some live edge Mulberry wood I had. I cut […]
Honeymoon Wall Hanging
I made a wall hanging before Christmas for a buddy of mine. He and his wife had honeymooned in the Bahamas and had a favorite hangout called the Chat ‘N’ Chill. He surprised her with this wall hanging. Its unique shape fits into a portion of a wall in their recently remodeled basement. I built […]
Frankenpiano
I got an old piano a couple of years ago through a friend and took out the harp and strings soon after this. But the project lingered, and I finally completed the transformation. I’ve repurposed two pianos before this. One I turned into a desk and another into a wine bar. This one could be […]
Celebrity Fun Center Wall Hanging
If you grew up in Denver, most likely you spent a lot of time at Celebrity Fun Center. I made this big wall hanging (5′ x 3.5′) from reclaimed fence slats on top of a frame I built. It’s already been sold but I can create another one for $295.
Pergola Patio Table
The pergola attached to the back of our house was in bad shape and didn’t provide much shade because it faced. And I felt like it blocked us from enjoying the big trees in our backyard. My wife and I took it down and set it aside for a year or so. I got motivated […]
Giant Denver Postcard
I’ve always loved the old “Greetings From …” postcards and have collected several over the years. And since I live in Denver, I thought I’d put together one. I’d done a couple of them before. You can see them here and here. This one is bigger than the other ones and is sturdy. I started […]
