We started with a hot water heater from the early 1900's which was manufactured by the Troop company here in Pittsburgh. We started by disassembling everything and removing all inner components.

After a good cleaning and top coat to seal the amazing patina, we then begin to reassemble our vision. We added two acrylic shelves and some colored lighting which would help accent its contents.

We buffed out some of the original copper and brass which really showed well against the darker black cast iron and rust finish.. Finally we topped it off with a custom built steel clad table top.
1800's Doors and barn wood turned into Mobile Kitchen Island
Indian Doors from 1800's
We started with a pair of heavy duty doors direct from India. These doors included an amazing patina from their hundred plus years of service. They also included very primitive locking hardware and chains which were all kept intact. Due to the heavy hardware and slight warping we decided to add adjustable standoffs and top it with 1/2" thick tempered glass.
The base was constructed of reclaimed barn wood, and we were able to attach two vintage dynamite cases to serve as drawers.
