Broomsticks & Cleats


I promised myself that I would not involve prospective or current clients in Crimes, but this was too good to pass up. I asked permission and was happily granted. The beauty of this is the execution. The block holding up the broomstick is nailed into the casing with some promise and craft. The edges of the block are chamfered and sanded. The nails were placed symmetrically and were the right size for the project. If they would have filled in the ceiling hole it would have evoked renovations at Chelsea Market, Hundertwasser, or a Lower East Side squat in the 80's. This fix has been servicing the bathroom for years. As always, click on the image to get the full detail.
