I found this photo in a recent email from a friend and thought it was a rather creative use of old moulding samples. The photo appears to be a loft workroom in a contemporary looking woodsy setting artsy home. There is alot going on in the photo that leads me to believe that the home belongs to either a homebased framer or someone connected with the arts. I really like the connecting walkway to another part of the house in the background.

I wonder how one would get an invite to visit this nifty looking residence?? :icon21:
 
That is certainly clever, but I have to say it makes me queasy to look at it. I don't know whether it's the busyness of it combined with all the other visual clutter of the scene, or whether I simply see enough of those during the day and wouldn't want to be surrounded by them in my "spare time".

Yeah, I have to say that it is a bit much for my personal tastes, but it was worth the effort to see what others thought of the recycling idea. After being up close and personal with frame samples at eye level on a vertical basis for over 20 years, it did give me a bit of vertigo having to sense that they were overhead in that room!

But ya have to give someone credit for the creative aspect of the idea even if it feels like that ceiling should, by all rights, fall like wooden rain on someone's head!! :faintthud:
 
i LOVE that!
I've been saving my old disc. samples, because I have it in my
head to use them in the shop as like a border along the top of the
walls...
we'll see. seems like a lot of work esp. to get them to STAY up. :)

Framer Flakes?
 
Framer Flakes: Love it! Going to have to make some of those without a doubt!

I've seen this before on Pintrest. I think it is cool but I'm surrounded buy it every day at work I don't need to come home to it too. My mother has always said she loved the way the wall at the shop looked with all the corner samples from floor to ceiling, like wall paper. She jokes when they got discontinued she wanted them instead of throwing them away so she could have a room like that. If I show her this photo she is going to want do this too.
 
Hi Tom, been a while...not sure you remember me, but from time to time I think of you and our emails back and forth.

Love the photo, my gal would shoot me for thinking of it. And I could get enough for a small bedroom in about a years time...but then how do you hang framed pieces on the walls?
 
Tom, get your thread right on time,
I know this' been posted before now ...

That is the ceiling of a tree house in Huntsville Texas. An artist and his family live there. It is in a Bois 'darc tree. The builder is Dan Phillips. He only uses recycled materials. The houses he builds are absolutely fascinating. It was on HGTV's Extreme Homes. It might be episode 174.
 
I was sent this picture awhile back too. I don't think I could walk into that room without emotions welling inside of that overwhelming feeling at the end of the day after a busy design day. That final deep breath is just letting itself out as you lock the doors and pivot 180 and realize that every chevron in the store is piled on the design table...dread from deep within...that's my first feeling then the dusting. I definitely give mad props to the patience of putting up what looks like a thousand frame samples! What if you decide that the nice gold leaf classic sample doesn't belong next to that crappy chipped matte black sample? Did someone say CDO nightmare (OCD with the letters put in alphabetical order,yep that's right)
