It should prove to be a head- turning attention grabber; and is guaranteed to be unlike any building in Southwest Michigan.

Inside the new front door, our showroom is sure to appeal to homeowners, architects, and designers alike. We aim to educate anyone interested about the virtues of decorative concrete designs.

A large fireplace is adorned by wood boxes and includes a pocket for a flatscreen TV. 

 

 

Thanks to Ken at Country Carpet Shop next door for the rustic barn beams. Ken tore down his old barn several years ago and the beams have been in a pile just waiting for a home.

 

We have stamped the walls of the workshop to look like wood planking. They are turning out well, and match beautifully with the real wooden beams!

 

The workshop also includes scratch-coated niches to give customers a chance to learn the art of vertical stone carving...hands on!  

 

This area will provide a place to look at sample of a variety of products and techniques.  We hope to facilitate others in the practice of making samples to help sell their work. 

 

We are currently trying to work out the details to have Nathan Giffin, founder of Vertical Artisans, come to The Rental Branch to show off his methods.  For those not familiar with Nathan, go to www.verticalartisans.com.  He has revolutionized the vertical concrete industry. If you wish to become a part of it as well, his website is a MUST!
