Restoring Antique Building Materials

Today I'd like to show you the work of Rik Storms. At the beginning of his career he was dedicated to the restoration of antique buildings and castles. Now, he restores authentic antique building materials with particular care and attention. He constantly searches for the most beautiful old materials, which he integrates in classic and timeless interiors.
I'd like to point out here that all the posts I make featuring shops or any kind of business is just because I like what they have to offer. I do not receive any payment whatsoever.
So, let me know if you like it too!
