The materials we attach, adhere or apply to our walls, floors, or ceilings generally have a story to tell for they have history and have come to us from somewhere in the past. We reuse, not only to assuage our green sensibilities, but for aesthetic reasons. We love the textures and nuances of glass, wood, steel, and concrete that have history. We also use building materials that are appropriate to time and place or proportioned to a space or style.
