Castaway Beauties

May 8, 2012
Posted by in Home Decor

Handcrafted by Pseudo -Studio LLC, our neighbors on Folsom Street, this California Claro Walnut is from Chico, California. Having ‘good wood go to waste’ is something that Adam Holm, co-owner of Pseudo Studio, hates. This piece was an ‘extra’ left over from a table that they are making from a single piece of wood.  ‘I am always looking for new uses for the little cut offs and castaways’ and we are so happy he is! Pseudo’s work will be featured at our Sunset Celebration booth- and we couldn’t be more pleased.

What will he make of this  pile of Claro Walnut salvaged out of a barn in Brooks California? Stay tunes to see…

For more information and photos, give us a call. This beauty is just the beginning of many possibilities…

Shutters of Succulents

Vertical gardens are all the rage! How about this for a twist? Salvaged Succulent Shutters. Yes indeed. We took salvaged solid wood shutters and gave them a second life.

Handcrafted boxes built to last, colorfully painted to adorn your wall, and finally filled with soil to host easy care Succulents. These boxes rock- all on their own or in a group. Give it a squirt of water every few days and they are ready to roll…

On display now at Stable Cafe, 2128 Folsom St., San Francisco, Ca

Scouring town for the unusual is what we like to do-

We even like to take the ordinary- like a light fixture- and make it extraordinary- with just a bit of tweaking…

Lila B.’s creative Botanical guy, Brandon, showed up in our studio with a light fixture in hand & an idea in his head. The outcome a desert landscape that is oh so delish!

This got us thinking about previous Lila B. projects we took on…We though you might enjoy a look.

See here for other Lila B. fixtures of light with a re-purpose.
