Decorative Wall Panel Restyling

When the Milieu Magazine comes in the mail it’s time to stop everything and take a first look, wandering through the images and previewing the text.

Decorative Panels and Screens

I created my first wood panel as a folding screen when we moved to a loft in a historical bank building. The loft was one continuous space with brick walls on both sides. We believe it was once office space for those who worked in accounting or bank records. The screens were made to provide slight visual definition of areas or rooms within the larger space.
