Pirate Ship Bedroom By Steve Kuhl
|
The main feature of the room is the incredible floating pirate ship. Kuhl used 2x12 ribs to construct the hull of the ship, covering them with layers of 1/2 inch plywood to act as the planking. A bomb-proof blend of plaster and epoxy with integrated coloring was used simulate an old ship's hull.
But that's not all. The room is also decked out with a rope bridge that connects the pirate ship to the top of a jail cell, and a rope suspended from the ship's hull provides drop-in access to the closet. There's also a completely hidden spiral slide, that lets you travel downstairs in a more adventurous way.
Steve Kuhl says: "I have been building since leaving my diapers, and yes, that was many years ago. Check out the little article on one of my first projects. I learned my passion for the act of creation from two men: my step father, Cody Edwards, and my grand father, George Grooms. Both showed me, through completely different avenues, the importance of curiosity and passion for ones' calling. I began wrecking things at the age of three. By the time I was five I started to figure out how to some of it went back together. I have continued the process of demolition, examination and rebuilding since that time. This is how I process my business, my mind and my spirit. I am always looking for new means of creation and I love what I do.
