Think outside the box, there are items sitting in salvage yards ready to be upcycled! I found hundreds of old school black boards which I used for countertops, salvaged wood bleachers from a school made into base cabinets, houndstooth floor tile I designed for a visual floor accent, sliding breakfast bar table and custom coffee stand painted a bright yellow, 3D handmade backsplash tiles adding just the right amount of texture and interest, painted dark ceiling for a dramatic accent, old pipes useed for hanging pots under cabinets, sleek gray flat slab upper cabinets, the wood bleachers brought up to the wall to highlight the electric bulb A. Truly a unique design that fits the homeowners lifestyle.
