Meet the Class of 2014: Donica Rei Kalei Ida

Date

By Nigel Sielegar

Today we begin a series where the Thesis class of 2014 "What I made this Summer."
"This summer I wanted to spend some time away from my computer," explains Donica Rei Kalei Ida, "so I decided to focus on furnishing the outside deck of my apartment. I "borrowed" a palette from a construction site on my block and cleaned, sanded, stained, and finished it to create a table top. I then attached metal pin legs I found on Etsy to the bottom of the palette and we were able to use it for barbecues we hosted throughout the summer."
