Reclaimed Wood Desk And Shelves–Construction & Installation
This project was to build a desk and shelves for a small bedroom nook using reclaimed lumber. They both needed to be floating without any visible supports. Both the desk and the shelves were constructed and finished before installation. Once the support pieces were installed, the shelves were slid in place over them. The shelves and desk front were stained dark to match other wood throughout the room. The desktop was left natural to show off the grain and to provide a contrast of old and new.

About Me
Twenty-five years ago we instantly fell in love with a 100-year-old farmhouse. We reveled in its unique architecture, old world craftsmanship and a chance to preserve history. All through the years since then it became the ultimate outlet to perfect both my artistic and carpentry skills.
About My Business
My disdain for mass-produced furnishings lead me to the creation of many unique custom-made pieces. By combining a passion for historical materials with modern design, I was able to preserve a bit of the past into the future. Old barn wood was transformed into tables, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets and anything else I could apply my artistry to. Broken Mexican tile was fashioned into beautiful mosaic inlays. Collected stones, shells and driftwood were melded with old growth wood to recreate natural beauty.

For Transforming table (coffee into dining)4.8Ron made a "transforming table" for me. With limited space in my Chicago condo, I needed a coffee table that turns into a dining table. I had sent about 4 different ideas before deciding on a final design (over the course of a couple months). He was very patient and open to my ideas, challenging as they may be.
Once decided on the design, Ron was very professional and had kept open communication on the progress, providing photos over the course. It took a bit longer to finish than what was originally proposed, but that was fine with me as I prefer to have a perfect product rather than a rushed product. The table is what I had imagined it to be. I'm already getting compliments from my friends.
I'd definitely work with Ron again, and would highly recommend. I'm a very happy customer here!
