I was hidden in this wall, next to that pink door...
I was excavated & cut. Glued back together again. Sanded & stained.
And then some. Here's what happened...
Tile is in! It's field tile from Heath.
.................
Today, we have a mirror! Mirror, mirror on the tile wall...
I can't believe this post used to hold up part of our house. Happy we were able to re-use it. The kitchen trough sink from Kohler was the perfect size for this small space sink. And the unusual Kohler faucet fixture was a great find on sale @ Home Expo for 99$ from $700! - although it did have some pieces missing & took a while to figure out. I love that it's hidden, and for a sink that's outside a bathroom, but in our den, it doesn't feel like a sink. Blends in well with the rest of the design. The mirror was hacked from an ikea Molger cabinet. We've been looking for a super narrow mirror like this for a long time....
The post had some really really old handmade nails in it. I kept some & need to find something to do with them.
Two more coats of sealer and we should be done!
Not having had a sink for about a year now - using the bathtub instead, this is real luxury.
I don't need to put on my hunter rain boots & crouch down to wash my hands in the tub.
Real civilized. I think I like it very very much.
UPDATED : The sink now serves as a bookshelf too!
Slow Glow Fat lamp from Droog Design, a good book ["The book of General Ignorance"], Berger Lampe, Ikea "dragan" soap dish.

I do think this is so special, creative and a sink wich is a show of.
Perfectly fitting in a office or in a living.
That's because you found the faucet Mamma!
This is so cool, and that wood looks absolutely beautiful! Fantastic job, guys!
And I'm so into that fat lamp. Although I'm not sure I'd want to be the one to change the bulb... :-)
@ Manhattannest. Thank you so much for the compliment. That means a lot to us after all the work that went into it. That desk of yours is pretty sweet! We built a desk cabinet made out of MDF too and painted it in BM simply white, but oil not latex, which yellows a little ->bummer! Now I wish we would have painted it in just semi-gloss & added water based polyurethane like you did. Spraying oil paint is a huge stinky mess. The finish isn't what we had hoped for. Oh well...
