This is our amazing reclaimed wood reception desk. It was built by Tim Schulz of Revive Industries.
We had been looking at reception desks and found them to be expensive and boring. I really wanted something interesting and recalled seeing Tim do a presentation about a year ago at “Pecha Kucha Fresno” explaining what he does. The result is stunning.
We love the desk and it’s turned into a major conversation piece with visitors. It was a lot of fun collaborating with Tim on the project. I’m not a builder or carpenter but he took my ideas and combined them with his own talent and experience to create something awesome. I love how he used the feet of the palette as the base and he made the desktop from old joist wood.
If you are wondering what “reclaiming” is, it is basically taking wood that has been discarded or wood that would just be thrown away on a construction site or elsewhere and using it to create something new. It’s all about taking stuff that would normally just be considered trash and making something beautiful out of it.
Tim creates some really cool stuff and was great to work with. Check him out at his Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ReViveIndustries
