1/2 The Mark of Beauty - Vintage materials

Playlist : • 1/2 The Mark of Beauty...
First broadcast: June 2015.
Reclaimed timber is enjoying a quiet popularity. This episode focuses on the old-fashioned charm it can impart to everyday life. New uses can be found for the old timber reclaimed from the dismantling of old structures. Houses built a century ago are often a source of natural timber of the highest quality otherwise unobtainable today. Old timber is prized for its beauty and rarity, and can be reincarnated into pieces of contemporary furniture.

    I liked the chest as it was. But I love antiques, so I usually chop the modern stuff and add it to my vintage/antiques and reversible if possible. I’d rather destroy the new and preserve the old. My home was built by my great grandfather and grandfather, built from materials of the nice homes they were hired to demolish in the late 30’s. Not sure how long it took to acquire. But was built right on the 1940 cusp. The most obvious Japanese influence is the shower that’s outside in a separate structure. There’s a bathroom inside but it’s more like a powder room. But still, my shower room is huuuuuuuuuge. And a small corner of it was walled off to be a half bath/powder room meaning a toilet, sink, and mirror. There’s faucets over a tub, and faucets for the shower and the water drains out to water the plants. Same as the washing machine on the other side side of the same structure. The water from the rinse cycle waters what used to be a persimmon tree but it got too big and got the chop when I was very little but I remember short images of it. It was near the mochi making structure thing. I saw old grainy footage of them pounding mochi and it’s nuts. But yeah now waters other plants. The room with the washing machine also acts as a shed. Which is one of my favorite parts to find OLD tools, materials, all kinds of stuff that I bet haven’t been noticed or appreciated in decades. (I’m like 5th generation American or something if I had to guess but honestly I’d have to ask to see a family tree but I’m not that desperate.) Oohhh the porcelain door handles, glass door handles and patterned brass door handles are stupendous. I got laughed at once when I told someone something about solid wooden doors and got *laughed at* because “no one had a solid wood door.” I was SO confused. I even did some woodworking and our most popular thing was making solid doors. I can’t imagine living with a cardboard hollow one.

    The point is that those cups are really rare and expensive. Imagine you use them and accidentally break one.
