There was an amazing Grand Designs on last night,
I found it very inspiring and would love a project like that one day! The way they salvaged and saved bits of the barn to use as elements of the structure later down the construction was brilliant! A real testament to the ethos of recycle/upcycle. I loved the way Ben was creating new sculptural brackets out of scrap and broken steel piping - artistic and beautiful, loved it! Old tea chest panels for doors, crates for shelves, shop display units for housing all their oddments - a museum-like home - really great!!! And to have a great big studio space to play in at the end of it...dream home if ever there was one!!! Whilst thinking about it I was reminded of this website that sells a lot of the things that were salvaged (but with a much heftier price tag!)
