Lonely Nightstand

There is never a pair to be found. Those little mid-century night-stands always come as singles at the Thrift Store.
So I did it a favor and now it lives in my bedroom, quite happy and doesn't even miss a mate.

60's Modern Dresser

This one was pretty beat up and legs needed to be repaired. It got sanded, stained and clear coated. The original hardware was cool. SOLD (Delivered to Brooklyn of course)

Happy Danish Modern

This 60's Wenger style teak lounge chair was a fun job to do. Wish I kept it..
I used jute webbing to replace the bottom support and made cushions using vintage tapestry.

Lesson Learned

It was silly of me to get these chairs from the Thrift Store because I'm having hard time selling them.
Altho stuff with coffee sacks sells pretty well. Got 50 bucks at the Garage sale for all my hard work and a lesson not to buy ugly chairs.

Bizarre Table/Lamp

One of my friends smuggled this weirdness into my car after our dinner. "make something out of it" The table was made of kind of plaster covered plywood. So there was really nothing much I could do besides painting it black. I sanded the rough and broken areas, dismantled the lamp, used BIN spray primer and then applied matte black spray paint.

Industrial Wall


I have loved these walls for over 10 years now, since they started popping up in interior magazines. Better late then never, I thought, and decided to "invent a bicycle" since there is not a single tutorial on the Internet on how to achieve the same results. Unless I order fake paneling from Europe.

We got a sheet of Drywall. Cut it to the blocks according to our design. Then measured the holes and used a circular drill bit to pre-cut the holes. Then we glued and screwed the pieces of drywall on the wall.
I used Gray Concrete Patch (It doesn't shrink!) and spackled the whole wall. The holes needed to be done twice since it cracked overnight. Basically, a good steady hand is needed for applying the top coat. Especially on the corners. For the ridges we used a grooving tool.

Also this vintage walnut linen cabinet got a new face - this is "Before" I stripped it down and applied Danish Oil

Second Bathroom Makeover

We haven’t completely moved into our newly finished bathroom. But finished it finally is  After 3 years! All the work – Me and Brian (mostly Brian) and my uncle Uno helped with sheetrock and friend Karel helped gutting. We only hired a plumber to do the pipes.
Before & After
 So we totally gutted the place..
We gained extra space by using a built-in cabinet from the room next to the bathroom. We insulated the walls, covered with plastic, sheetrocked, spackled, painted, installed tile on the floor, installed a tub, Brian built a box around the tub, also a drawer on wheels for storage. Brian did all electric wiring and built “floating shelves”. We tiled the box and the walls, new sink from Ikea.
