Loving some more space sans demolition of ugly pantry.
Wishing that the floors still had the retro vinyl uncovered by demolition. After a visit to local flooring supplier I am deflated by the lack of initiative and also the complete disgust at my non acceptance of the status quo aka revolting vinyl selections available. Tomorrow the mission is to find the perfect tiles or reproduction vinyl for the bathroom.
The beginnings of a beautiful sunny space with amazing river and city views.
Still baffled by this bad boy. The current suggestions are Gold sifting machine, a grape press, or a timber sander. A mini mystery to be solved.
Kitchen bench painted. Dulux Domino and a very very willing model keen for any photo opportunity.
This bench came from an an old menswear store V.C. Shear's in my hometown of Dalby. Owned by an interesting local character Vince Shear.
There was boxes and piles of dust covering it when I spotted it one morning on the way to my early morning coffee before work.
Trading had long since ceased and the quirky little shop complete with ancient old King Gee posters... was his residence in retirement.
He was such a character with stories of war times and secret missions and passed a couple of years back.
He only agreed to part with it when he learned who my grandparents were and their kindness in running him around to cards, get well cards and hosital appointments….cemented the deal. It's such a treasured item and gives me a lot of joy to see it recycled finally as my kitchen bench!!!!
