F.E. Designs

I went back and fourth on this finish for a few days. I love the black but by adding the white over the top takes it into another dimension. The stain and oil is from @rubiomonocoatusa now to figure out the steel color. @ Oceanside, California

The Aluminum barn doors on this bar container tried to get the best of us but with a little hard work and determination we fixed the problems and succeeded. Note to self, next time don’t build the doors, door track and countertops until the roof equipment is installed and the container has settled in its final resting place. @ Orange County Great Park

Serious times out there family, friends and fellow builders. Even though it’s important to stay positive, love and laugh more than ever we still need to take responsibility for our actions like never before. I’m not going to list what we should and shouldn’t be doing, that information is readily available but what I will list is all the people that have helped me and my family along the way of this crazy and unexpected life. Thinking about most of you and yours and wishing ...you good luck. Sorry in advance if I forgot you. Let’s get through this together even if we can’t be together. @_ju_dantas_ @1750nelson @keith.nelson.71216 @cnossen @knossen @liladantas @fabiobiofa @solange1308 @messerguitars @jhh283 @freeformdc @delaurentis.ironworks @lopeman77 @mommys_lil_monster82 @natobahn @irwin_painting_finishing @pdwinc @burger_construction @masterskitchenandcocktail @uglys @cowichecanyon @calle75streettacos @c_what_hapns_larry @championtattoos @catkrist @shane_shipley @radlabsd @tg_bigleage @underpahr @walsfurn @zandercoxmusic @og_obrien @jasonrandallhall @kaulingracie @miller_welders @festool_usa @baileigh_industrial @linksoul @elcaminocc @adidasgolf See more

Some awesome architecture and forms in #dtla on our new year trip with the family. @_ju_dantas_ @liladantas @fabiobiofa @girlswithhobbies @ The Broad

This is a shipping container, I repeat, this is a shipping container. When you make it 15’ tall and cut the shit out of the side, then you add another 2000lbs of steel to make it habitable.

Delivered this Tuscan themed farm table yesterday. We were drooling over the pizza oven setup. #housegoals #diningtable #reclaimedwood @ Rancho Santa Fe, California

A war hero and a life hero! Obviously my grandfather Fred Elliott was a huge part of my life since I named my business after him but what’s more inspiring than what he did for me is what he had to endure as a young man, husband, soldier and father. Quick story since its relevant to the photo. His first born son who’s grave is to the left, who I’m also named after, died just before Christmas from pneumonia when he was 2. The doctor sent him home and said it’s just a cold and... he never made it through the night. Being a father of a 2 year old now, I can’t imagine that happening to my family, so sad. They went on to have 4 more kids including my mother the youngest of 3 girls but one of her sisters was mentally disabled and then his only son got polio and almost lost his leg. Times were very different for our elders and I’m so very greatly for all the people out there who make this world a better place. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! See more

Built this for my house a couple months ago, I never get sick of #walnut and #blackenedsteel. One of my goals this year is to create a small collection that I can be proud of and this is sort of the inspiration piece. When I started this business some 6 years ago I thought furniture was going to be my thing but every time I would build a custom piece I would learn something new, I would leave the the project unsatisfied with the result, even w...hen the client was beyond happy. Even with 15 years of construction and design under my belt before building furniture this quickly taught me I wasn’t ready to put my name into the retail furniture world. Furniture design / design in general is under rated in the building industry. When you own your own design business you quickly learn that manual labor is the easy part and many builders overlook the importance of concept and vision. So now..... I think I’m almost ready! @ Oceanside, California See more

This Gucci bar is shipping to Chicago in a couple weeks. Still needs the flip up doors and a few more finishes but definitely looking swanky. Mother of pearl tiles where the beer taps will go and all black everywhere else. #custom #shippingcontainer #metalwork #tilework #engineering #interiordesign #chitown #lookout

Rail job from a few months back!! Matte black powder coated steel. ||||||||||| #railings #modern #protectyourself #beforeyouwreckyourself #welding #nailedit @ Leucadia, California

Some more shots of the BASIC project we did for @brewerdesignagency and @burger_construction. These rolling bookshelf’s add a little separation in this open concept office. Made from blackened steel, perforated steel and white oak. @ Makers Quarter

Got some cool shots back from out makers quarter project for BASIC

We did three sets of these triple pivot door systems. 3’x9’ white oak doors with overlapping seems and fixed panels on both sides. Original design was no handles on the outside but code didn’t let it fly. Really cool space and thinks again BASIC for being patient and allowing us to work out the kinks and big thanks to @brewerdesignagency and @burger_construction for the work.
