Pageboy Salon – Reclaimed Retail Desk

Working with other local business owners in Pittsburgh is always a blast. We were delighted when we got referred to Pageboy Salon & Boutique in Lawrenceville to design and build a new retail desk for their upcoming store interior redesign. While we installed it last month, today’s rainy Saturday afternoon gave us the perfect opportunity to finally get back down to snap some photos of it and the shop redesign. The front was fabricated from reclaimed doors to match the existing aesthetic and personality of the shop. If you haven’t been down to check out the rest of their new interior yet, what are you waiting for? Get more info on Pageboy Salon & Boutique at pageboypgh.com. Continue reading »

Sliders

I love coming across great lumber finds. Acquiring 100-year-old reclaimed walnut was exciting, but turning it into a new product was even more of a thrill. Combining it with some zebrawood that we had lying around the studio, we created a new line of sliding wall box shelves. The first set of 4 (pictured here) is currently available in our Etsy Shop. We’ll be making more (in multiple sizes) so stay tuned…or ask us about making a custom set for you. We also think they look great paired with some of our other walnut furniture pieces. Wink, wink.

Cherry On The Wall

I’m really starting to fall in love with using live edged cherry for shelving. We just finished up another custom cherry shelf and the ease of working with it makes me wish we could use it in all of our shelving pieces. It’s also great for clients who want to warm up their interiors without being overly rustic. Continue reading »
