How To Build a Bar from Books
So you’re working in a library and the boss tells you to throw out that pile of books over there…all 700 of them! What would you do?
Well, if you’re a housemate of designer Jeffrey Warren, you take them home and make a full-sized bar of them. How cool is that?
“One of our non-Vestal housemates worked at the Stanford library, and his job included the task of throwing away old books, which apparently the other librarians couldn’t bear to do. We decided to rescue these books from that awful fate…”
Check out Jeffrey’s post at the Vestal Blog for many photos of the building process as well as some of the new bar being enjoyed. Recycling and frugal furniture making…all in one.
