This weekend we took the redwood ship lap we got on our journey to The Reuse People Store and started the install. Monica and Carter fit the pieces on the roof like a puzzle and what we found was incredible. We thought it would look nice – what we didn’t expect was how the fade marks, chinks and nail holes all came together to make the most interesting pattern. A pattern that would have been impossible to design.
We were originally thinking of sand blasting the wood, but now we hope we can leave it just the way it is. Sometimes the imperfect and used can be more beautiful… That makes the case for reuse even more compelling.
