The Pope High School Marketing Class came up with the idea of taking an empty room and turning it into a coffee shop. We designed the room and built the cabinet and countertops.
- We left many of the cabinets as open so that things would be easier to find and to keep the cost down.
- We used birch plywood and a dark stain to help the units hold up to wear and tear over time.
- We used a slate grey laminate top for easy cleaning and low maintenance.

No Problem, with the help of our friends at Authentic Hardwoods owned by Mike Keroack, you will never know the difference.

We love to take the opportunity to reuse materials. It’s greener, it’s a huge money-saver (no need to buy new boards or other materials wherever these are going, and no fees to put them in a dumpster and dispose of them), and it instills a sense of history into a home. Would you ever have thought these planks from the roof:
Could be transformed into such a gorgeous counter?:
Another advantage of using repurposed boards is that they often come in wider dimensions than what you can find on the market today. Forestry practices have changed – for example, you just don’t find nice wide pine boards anymore. When you do your renovation, you may be sitting on a gold mine of these great boards. Check the attic floors and roof boards. Your contractor may be able to incorporate them into the design of your home.
