08.12.08 The "Wall"

I had an idea of using some of the old tongue and groove pine we took down from the existing ceiling in the basement and making something fun out of it. Upon entry through the front door, we have a feature wall that wraps around our future office. I thought perhaps we can use the wood to create an interesting texture on it.

This has to be the most physical work we have done since the beginning of this project. I'm so lucky that my parents are in town visiting and they were able to help us build this. It turns out to be a nice family bonding experience. Because of their involvement, this turns out to be more special than I could possibly imagine. Thanks mom and dad!

Here're some photos:

Wow. The random depth gives it a lot of character. It gives a very contemporary look and yet it is warm and approachable. It is totally anti-McDonaldization, very special.

It stacked up quite well, maybe because it is old wood? You did a great job on the joint on the corner too. What do you plan to use the finish the wood?
