pretty fun project here ...
my designer client, nina, had an idea for a cabinet to go in the room with
the pool table we installed earlier this year.
we started with a chalk sketch on two of the best ( a relative term) of six red
barnboards that had been salvaged from the clients property, and designated them
to be the doors for the cabinet. click the photos to enlarge them.
we then added some structural poplar pieces that we later covered with barnboards, but these pieces actually hold the cabinet sides together and provide the structure to secure the cabinet to the wall.
working with the barn boards as they are is always a challenge when you are totally accustomed to
lumber that is straight and flat and has integrity.
one must go with the flow, and cast all aspirations to perfection aside.
we added some chalkboards and dart holders
the red box below the shelf is held in place with rare earth magnets, and is removable to access a space that will hold the cable box for a nearby, wall mounted tv. the red leather tab was chriss brainstorm.
and later this week, christina young, the decorative painter on site will add the lettering i
photoshopped on in the photo above to the top of the cabinet.
last thing we did was add a coat of linseed oil, which made the red pop,
and gave the cabinet a fantastic warmth.
we hung it up friday, but forgot to take pictures !
well be back there later this week and well take some then ..
