Design focus fuels a junk-hunting couple in Oakland
Oakland couple Peter and Tari Bowman collect and repurpose antique signs, nails kegs, toys, and stained glass for their 1906 brown shingle home. They scout wrecking yards and flea markets, merging old pieces with modern craft to create a cohesive, sunlit space. The Roaring Camp Mercantile Company on Bret Harte Boardwalk keeps them connected to their vintage finds.
