We just knew this slab of concrete was going to look great on this here fireplace! Just another cool design by our designer Kim. Natural concrete with a light grind and polish and a single drop section for minimal detail. Built in our shop and installed in 10 minutes.

flooring gone wild!!

So, we pour these floors for some cool people in a wicked character home that just happens to be timber framed. The floors are upstairs and really play nicely with the wood features. I make these craft sale thingy’s and the lady of the house says “Those concrete blocks look great! Too bad the stairs can’t be made out of those (polished concrete). Me: “I’ll see what I can do…”

Pretty happy with this actually

I found a really cool sofa table in Luxe. magazine and changed some things around to better suit my ideas. We’re using 12×12 douglas fur which is ground with a wire wheel and sealed. The concrete blocks are in fact keys holding the wood in place. The concrete is tinted with black dye to darken it to a graphite gray colour- then polished and waxed. All bug holes are left in tact and not filled. We love the relationship the wood has with concrete in this plain simple design. This was a fun project which took a few tries to get to where we wanted. Through this, I discovered: let Phil frame and pour, I’ll draw the pictures……….. works pretty good!!

Sofa table dimension: 24″x48″x16″ End table dimension: 12″x12″x24″

If you love them, they are looking for a home…..haha!
