Retrospect Designs

The moment we’re always waiting for, when that first coat of clear reveals the final look

Night shifts with the work truck are my favorite. With the cool night breeze and no traffic, usually heading to Whole Foods at their closing time, we like to image what it was like to be a carpenter in the late 60’s and this was your new truck ... #worktruck #luckywelivehawaii #c10trucks

We’re all about the dirt bike goggles! Sound up for some safety reminders from @subtlelikeatrex also for the proper way to put on ear muffs for max style points

Call us old school, but nothing’s cooler than all focus, all safety. Dirt bike goggles keep the saw dust from getting being your glasses and don’t leave that horrible ring around your eyes, hearing protection cuz once hearing is gone it’s gone, while working with reclaimed wood a respirator will provide great protection from unknown finishes and tie up that hair bc your not wood working for the insta photos Let’s cut/drill/build into 2021 smart n cool

We have a love hate relationship with reclaimed wood. It’s tough to work with! For us and our tools but the instant character and history that comes along with it makes it totally worth it. Using reclaimed materials is always our default go to for the environmental aspect and often the look! Thanks to @reusehawaii it couldn’t be easier to source and with company’s like @wholefoods @thesurfjack @oahumexicangrill and many others on the island allowing us to use reclaimed materials in their fixture, furniture and art pieces we have been able to make quite the impact
