Symmetrical is boring sometimes. This mirror is a bit wider on the top than the bottom and it’s sprayed in a candy red paint over textured steel. The flower adds a little happiness, and the shelf on the bottom gives you someplace to set your drink…which sometimes also brings happiness!!

The glass top on this desk was recycled from a commercial front door. It’s nice and thick, and it’s also laminated for safety! The arrow on the end came from an old sign I purchased. It was part of the sign back in the day and I thought it would be a cool desk holder upper. I had to repair a few rust holes, then strip and repaint it with new advertising. After all that, I gave it a wet sand, a few whacks with the hammer, and it’s a new old sign….again. 

In the interest of not being smoked out while enjoying a fire, this fireplace is about four feet tall and the chimney goes all the way to the top. It’s three sided opening puts out plenty of heat and there are two adjustable fresh air vents on the bottom to make it easy to keep the fire going. It also has a pit cover, so at the end of the night, you can close the vents, put the lid on and there’s no worry about catching anything on fire!…that’s never a bad thing. It’s capped off on top with a few slats previously used to dry tobacco leaves.

This bomb arrived at my door by way of indiana. In fact, when it arrived, it was no more than the bottom piece with four fins. I formed the body from hot rolled sheet metal and capped it off with a steel bowl. The outside is stenciled military style to resemble a practice bomb from the fifties. It’s now a media storage device that is sure to be different than anything you’ve seen elsewhere.

This airplane propeller nose cone was sourced from a recycler in tucson, arizona. It was love at first sight and it seemed like it was begging to be a light fixture! The outside was treated to a polishing, and the interior was sprayed bright red. It looks great at night!!

This gate is the piece that spun off into the el sendero mail box, as well as two gates, a full set of built in outdoor kitchen cabinet doors, and an air conditioner mask for that project. The frame of the gate is one inch by three inch tubing set on edge for a little depth.  The tubing is carried all the way across the top of the block wall for a seamless look.
