Occasionally I get a request for projects that are a little outside the “norm”. This could be a design feature, a specific challenge related to the project or really any number of other factors that make some projects more unique than others. From time to time I will showcase those projects in a series called “Project Spotlight”. Hope you enjoy!Note: I can’t take credit for this project, although I wish I could. I simply provided the reclaimed cedar wood that was used for the wall. All the credit belongs to Lori and the rest of Urban Village Veterinary Care team. You guys did an awesome job!
I first met Lori, co-owner of the new Urban Village Veterinary Care, last fall. She was in need of a fence for her dogs at her new home and coincidentally I knew just the guy for her project :-). As with most of my clients, we chatted during the fence build and I got to learn more about the new vet clinic she was in the process of opening with her business partner Sarah. I’ve been privileged to see the building come together from the early days of the demo, to where it is today. Thank you guys for letting me be a part of your journey!
Lori mentioned an interest in doing an accent wall behind the reception desk. I had recently taken down an all cedar wood fence for replacement and saved all of the material as I usually do with cedar. I ended up building a workbench for my woodworking studio from some of the material and was excited to find new projects that would give the material new life. I mentioned to Lori that I had some weathered cedar wood that might be a perfect fit for what she was planning. After removing all the nails (which also get recycled) from the boards I delivered them in late December 2017. On January 31 2018 I had a chance to swing by and see how the project turned out. I was truly impressed! See for yourself:
You guys did an awesome job! It makes me happy to see the old wood find new life in a new business right here in our city.
