Today we were able to visit Desert Designs' warehouse. It was a very cool and interesting visit! Desert Designs is a store that focuses on repurposing antique items such as doors, window frames, wheels... into very beautiful and unique furniture. They also sale other Saudi and Arabic things as well as items with Arabic style and print. This store is very well known amongst the western expat community. I always love to go there and see what Kim (the designer) had come up with next. She is so very talented.
We were able to see carpenters at work, crafting and refinishing furniture. Some of the ladies got to pick out the items they wanted before they were even worked on, and decide on what they wanted each items to become. It was awesome!
