Judging by those curtains those are probably re-productions.
Yeah, given this persons propensity to have me ressurect 30 year old shower valves as opposed to removing and replacing, you'd think they are, but i have it good authority my million dollar liability policy will not cover a single one of those boxes were i to damage one in the process of working.
They arent repros.
This particular ~~moron~~ thoughtless also bought reclaimed bowling alley floors, for what looks like a dining room. This person has exactly zero taste.
Obscenely rich people never have taste. It's like the pursuit of wealth rots their brains.
surely that's better and preferable to new-production wood flooring
yes a used license plate folded into a purse is better than buying a new purse but a license plate doesn't make a good purse and bowling ally floors really only excel at bowling allies.
That floor's reclamation used an order of magnitude more resources than a new bamboo pergo or even tile.
its just oiled wood, the oil comes off? i think you're reaching here just because it's expensive but that's what capitalist economics makes recycling, an expensive cottage industry (at least for stuff you can't toss it into a big machine that does the reprocessing for you)
Mmm perhaps
