Mixing Old & Now with OUD Now!

I really like it when people are so clever and creative that they reuse stuff that might end up in the cellar, or worse, a dump otherwise - making new out of the castaways, creating something stylish and one-of-a-kind. That's what I admire about OUD Now! located in the Netherlands. I wrote about this Dutch firm a few years ago, but I have to refresh your memory because I think the man behind it, Dutch designer Theo Herfkens, is so cool!

Those Dutch know how to do some pretty cool things to old stuff, I think they are the masters of transformation. I always like seeing what will come from them next. OUD Now! takes unloved pieces that are ornate and maybe "grandma" style, and combines them with very clean, modern and spare pieces so that the result is a mix of styles that somehow works.

I would love to own this one, or this one, or okay this one too (only with a different handle, like this one from Chocolate Creative)... My friend, Margarita Lorenzo, makes the best knobs - I have to place an order for a few myself. Love them.

What do you think of these cabinets?
