Writing Cabin Finished at Last
This is how the writing cabin turned out. Sweet or what. The decorating style? Rustic Boudoir.
I designed the Tree of Life Heat Shield and it was fabricated by the excellent team at MC LaserWerks in Barrie, Ontario. Cost: about $350. (6-1/2 feet tall, 4 feet wide)
The Invent Energy EPA-certified Model 1000 woodstove uses state-of-the-art technology that heats so quickly you can literally cook on it 10 minutes after lighting a fire. The stove is also so efficient that you'll use up to 40% less firewood per winter. Designed and built in Canada by entrepreneur Charlie Perrault, this stove rocks.
The walls are a distressed stucco finish called 'Desire', an amazingly easy-to-use (Dare I say foolproof? Yes I do.) product produced in Italy by Adicolor, and available in Canada at specialty paint shops.
The hearth is recycled antique brick, available from most masonry supply places and stone yards if you ask nicely.
