I think my favorite finish Mike does in copper is his corrugated texture. He does a simple light sconce that adds just the right touch of country to a wall. This corrugated copper isn’t store bought- Mike bends each fold himself in his home-made jig. That’s what makes the look so appealing to me.
It combines the industrial form and the warmth of rustic. I could very well see this copper on my roof, and siding the outside of my house. Add a little stacked stone or barn wood and . . . Oh yes, I’m home.
A range hood in Mike’s corrugated copper is my dream kitchen center piece. It would look so good with my country collections and copper accents.
Our copper shutters keep the summer sun out, and allow winter mornings to move slowly for our guests who visit. I can picture it in cabinet inserts, and remember a beautiful bar-wrap application Mike did.
Our showroom desk was a great example of the corrugated texture combined with a bolder pattern.
That brings me to the artwork Mike does that incorporates the corrugated copper with mesh, hammered copper and patinas from the hidden corners of his shop.
Do you think I’d be going too far to wish for a corrugated copper roof for my new chicken coop? Maybe that’s just a little too much, but wouldn’t it look great?
