At the end of January I met a friend in town for a coffee. We went to a new place called Coffee Lab, where I snapped this picture for future mini inspiration:
(Mainly because I still hadn't worked out what I was going to do with the pallet coasters I'd picked up from Typo back in November and thought this would be interesting to try).
Yesterday I pulled the pallets out, used a handy ruler as a stand-in for a coffee counter and added some industrial-looking plastic pieces I'd picked up on my last trip to Daiso (I think they're supposed to go in a pot-plant pot to stop things falling out the bottom).
The table I made in June last year seems to be the perfect fit, as does the round black Kinetic Patterns tealight holder I bought at Handmade Market last year (I'm not sure it's printed by Shapeways, but the designer is certainly on there).
Love where you are going with this! The pallet wall brought back lots of memories for me as I worked in a sawmill when I was 15 and I made pallet and crate sides. I was paid by the piece - $0.50 for a pallet and $0.35 for a crate side! Now they are designer materials!
ReplyDeleteNiiiice! I'm popping in for some treats when you open for business!
ReplyDeleteThe pallet wall is fab. I really like the idea of an open wall like that and of course, natural wood just ticks all the boxes for me =0)
ReplyDeleteGargh! That reminds me that I still have a mini shipping box tucked away somewhere that I was supposed to be posting to you. Tomorrow! I'll find it tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI love the industrial look of this!
ReplyDeleteLove the pallet walls and the table and the whole industrial look!
