New concrete coasters at Youngblood Gallery and Boutique

Just created a new batch which will be sold at Youngblood Gallery and Boutique.  Get em' while they're hot!  I've posted some samples below.  They call also be found on Etsy if you're interested in purchasing.  We decided to sell coasters individually so people can mix and match and choose based on personal preference.  Bike + Butterfly + Number Coster hybrid?  Why, yes of course.  You pick.

Below are some sample mix ups.  The possibilities are endless.

Indoor Concrete Planters featured in Inhabitat!

We can't be more excited about the coverage we're receiving from Inhabitat.  They covered our Indoor Concrete Planters which we launched 2 weeks ago at the Artlantis Arts and Music Festival.  Read below to see what Mark Boyer from Inabitat had to say: 

Turn Your Houseplants into a Work of Art with MDC Interiors’ Indoor Concrete Wall Planter by Mark Boyer, 06/13/12

From furniture made using reclaimed wood to a living table that doubles as a bonsai tree planter, Michael Carpenter of MDC Interiors has been developing a wide range of innovative green interior furnishings in recent years. Now, Carpenter has come up with another impressive design. The indoor concrete wall planter presents a neat new way to display houseplants by hanging them on the wall. The planter consists of a reclaimed wooden box and a thin slab of concrete, and there are a couple of holes that can be filled with plants and stones.

Vote for MDC Interiors!

CHASE and Living Social are partnering up to provide 12 grants (up to $250,000) to small businesses across the US.  I've submitted a proposal for MDC Interiors and with the funding hope to expand the eco-furniture series (the Nature-inspired series, Glow Table series, and Calico series) and focus on some community-specific projects to create a line of products that can improve bike safety.  If I win the grant, I plan to work with the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition to pilot some projects and to establish a team that is forward thinking, progressive, and has strong ethos of supporting local economy, minimizing our impact on the earth, and promoting healthy outdoor activities such as cycling.


 250 votes is daunting but with the support of the community, it is definitely feasible!

Concrete Planters are here and we're on Etsy.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Artlantis Arts and Crafts Festival.  We launched the concrete coasters and concrete planters and we are happy to say that we may have generated some buzz.  If you weren't able to make it out and/or are feeling down about not having one of our sweet coasters, have no fear.  We are selling the coasters on Etsy along with the concrete planters. 

A bit about the planters.  The planters are made from reclaimed wood, thin slabs of concrete, succulents, and river rock.  The piece can be hung on your wall, bringing a bit of nature and the outdoors inside. Mist with water to keep hydrated.  I've included some images below.  Take a gander.
