<\/p>\nSometimes you don\u2019t need to buy something new.\nSometimes you just need to look at what you already have in a different way.<\/p>\n
When we started the transformation project at Antojicos, there was a simple, inexpensive and rather old shelving unit sitting behind the freezer.<\/p>\n
Its only purpose was to provide storage. The problem was that it stored too many things and, because everything was visible, it added to a feeling of clutter that didn\u2019t fit with the new look we wanted for the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
So I decided to move it.<\/p>\n
As part of the new layout at Antojicos, it made much more sense to place it inside the counter, where it could provide storage space for the team working there.<\/p>\n
But to make that possible, it needed to be adapted.<\/p>\n
We needed it to be smaller and, besides, its original appearance no longer had anything to do with the new design of the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s where the transformation began.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instead of buying a new shelving unit, I decided to reuse the one we already had and give it a second chance.<\/p>\n
I took it apart and we started working on it.<\/p>\n
During the transformation of Antojicos, we had used pine wood to cover the walls and also to create some of the custom-made shelving.<\/p>\n
There were some pieces of leftover wood, and I decided to use them to transform the shelving unit.<\/p>\n
We covered the outside with the same wood, allowing the piece to start blending in with the other elements that were already part of the project.<\/p>\n
For me, this is also an important part of interior design: not always thinking about buying something new, but looking at what we already have available and discovering what we can create with it.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the shelving unit found its place inside the counter.<\/p>\n
It now has a practical function, providing storage space for the team, but it is also part of the caf\u00e9\u2019s aesthetic, blending in with the other materials and elements of the project.<\/p>\n

I like this technique because it allows the wood to remain visible while creating a textured, natural and imperfect finish.<\/p>\n
Then I aged it with wax to give it the vintage feel we were looking for in the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Little by little, that simple, old shelving unit began to become something completely different.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the shelving unit found its place inside the counter.<\/p>\n
It now has a practical function, providing storage space for the team, but it is also part of the caf\u00e9\u2019s aesthetic, blending in with the other materials and elements of the project.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s what I like most about this transformation.<\/p>\n
We didn\u2019t buy a new piece of furniture.<\/p>\n
We reused, adapted and transformed something that already existed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Because very often, design isn\u2019t about filling a space with new things.
\nIt\u2019s about observing, finding possibilities and making sure that every element has a purpose.<\/p>\n
An old shelving unit.
\nSome leftover wood.
\nPaint, wax and a little bit of work.
\nAnd, above all, a new way of looking at things.<\/p>\n
Reusing is also design.<\/strong><\/p>\n And this small transformation is, for me, a very special part of the Antojicos project.<\/p>\n Because behind a finished space, there aren\u2019t always big purchases or new pieces.<\/p>\n Sometimes there is something much simpler: the ability to see what a piece could become.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A veces no hace falta comprar algo nuevo.
