Jake and Bethany's living room. The flooring is all reclaimed from about 10 different places (old churches, house rehabs, craigslist, dumpsters) It was a pile for flooring the size of a small car that they sorted and installed piece by piece. It was a ton of extra work, but well worth the time.Lora Olive

The livingroom coffee table was a piece of glass Jake found in a dumpster (He used to do a lot of dumpster diving) some old wood from a friends barn scaffolding, and old display racks from the Gap at the Circle Center Mall.Lora Olive

The kitchen island is made from hickory butcher block they got out of the old GM Stamping plant. They reinforced three pieces with an iron bar and it sits on legs that came out of a factory in Chicago. The lights came out of a warehouse off 16th street. Jake refinished the piece using a process of muriatic acid and water.Lora Olive
