Meddling with Metal
If someone gave me an old chair that had been used – for YEARS – as a dog bed, I probably would thank them politely, wave a joyful goodbye, then drag it into my backyard and set it on fire.
Chris and Brad had other ideas. They also had some vintage aircraft aluminum lying around. Armed with that and a rustic leather hide, they completely transformed it into a mancave worthy chair that’s sure to spark up interesting conversation. Like “Why on earth did you have vintage aircraft aluminum lying around?”
Answer: Brad’s father had planned to build a kit plane around 40 years ago, and never got around to it, that’s why.
Just plane awesome! More rustic goodness to be found on their page Sawdust & Sparks.
This little cabinet also hopped aboard the metal trend train when Kellee outfitted it with embossed tin panels. She was going for a distressed look, so she lowered the shine of the tin by rubbing in some of the same midnight blue paint used to paint the piece, then glazed it all with black stain for extra drama. How fortuitous that the old handles complement the design on the new tin so well!
