apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Unfortunately it looks like a fallen barn. What do the neighbors think of it?

Look. I can appreciate the factors of trying to march to a different drummer sometimes, and all that reclaimed wood project, etc. I didn't even think how unkind to a neighbor before reading the first post. It just looks a little wrecked. As intentionally "inspired" by something as it is, it's somewhat difficult to look at, and sitting out there ... can be all artful, but I don't think it can be restful. It's imparting kinetic energy, it's so chaotic a statement for that setting.

I really don't like to feel this way and force everyone into some suburban standard of conventional fencing, so I'll say it's cool in theory. It's just jangling up my nerves. I like all the stuff and chairs and plants he has.

I think its very nicely done and disagree with the comments about it looking like a fallen barn. As someone who has seen a lot of fallen barns they never look that nice.

I like how the sections are done at different angles, it really highlights the texture. This is much more interesting to look at than a typical fence.

I think it looks nice, and I like it!

maybe it's because i *like* old barns--and if they're falling down, they just have that much more character--but i really, really like this. i have a small pile of lumber ripped out of a closet i'm reconfiguring. it's probably at least 50 years old and the boards are solid as a rock. i refuse to throw them away, and a local craftsman i offered them to doesn't have room for any more material, so maybe i'll do something like this, on a much smaller scale, of course. i had a friend who incorporated old wooden doors into the side of his shed, so maybe i'll see if i can find a few of those, too.

to the haters: you'll change your mind when dwr comes out with it's bio/eco model.

whimsical!
