Italian Mulch

Here Lois, another client very interested in being part of the process, covers the cardboard with mulch to control the weeds in her new mounds.




It takes a lot of cardboard to do this. Usually I get bundles of cardboard from Hanson's Building Supply who donates their cardboard to my restoration projects.



These boxes of 'green' designer cardboard, from Italy, work great. They were pretty expensive but did come with products inside. Lois' new chairs!!




What's interesting to me is that the chairs with the white coverings, even though light, airy and translucent, created a considerable bulk, adding too much mass to the room.



But upon removing the covers, the taller than normal chairs (26" chair height for 36" counter) disappear on the fir flooring and in front of the architectural steel.


The chairs look great next to the machine (kitchen island) and the cabinets but don't dominate. Perfect!
