An Industrial Halloween




Antique velvet curtain panels were found in the attic along with sheer panels which have been beautifully bleached by the sun to a purple hombre create a colorful backdrop.  Back-lighting provides a dramatic light for the industrial found objects.   

  Originally off of commercial sewing machines, this reel is mounted on old ceiling timbers.


"Factory Wheel Daybed" and "Chandelier Shade Mirror"

We found this wonderful 51" diameter chandelier frame that was unrepairable as a chandelier.  We rebuilt the structure, replaced four of the fifteen mirror tiles around the perimeter, then added a convex mirror glass.  Then distressed the mirror to match the original mirror tiles. 

We re-purposed hardware intended for holding grill work in cabinet doors as a unique way of anchoring the convex mirror in place.
