Recover Exterior Furniture

The past few weeks have been quite an adventure: my dear uncle (an HVAC professional) came and helped us decipher some of the heating issues in our home, which looks like it’s going to be a lot more involved than we originally thought. This may or may not hold up our basement renovation plans since we are still working on a final game plan. But for now, I’m focusing all of my I-can’t-wait-for-summer energies on the exterior of our home, starting with the deck.

It can be polished and expensive, it can be rough and cost-effective, masculine, feminine…you name it, industrial style can handle it!

Industrial style embraces the basic structures of an interior and makes beauty out of the things that we typically try to hide.
