A SMART, HEALTHY, EFFICIENT RECOMMENDATION
Reuse Depot in Maywood, IL
|
|
|
We've started a new feature in our TBDA newsletter where we share and review products and services that we think are smart, healthy, and efficient. A great first step toward efficiency is reuse. Tom recently visited the Reuse Depot in Maywood, IL and found walnut flooring to use in a design project. He also found maple flooring and lighting fixtures. If you're in the area, check it out and let us know what you think. Don't go Tuesday; they're closed on Tuesdays.

What fuels the design process? Creativity comes from inspiration, and that inspiration can come from tree bark, an old barn, shapes in nature. Tom uploads his inspirations and design work to Instagram on a frequent basis.
