Good morning! Thank you for your thoughtful comments on my last post. And for understanding.
I thought you might like to see some projects that Tom and I have been working on, with the help of some builders and our mate Dan.
The project has been going on for most of the winter, and involved removing a wall between our kitchen and dining room (thank you, clever builders.) Then we painted the new double-room in a creamy colour called 'Sandfly Point.' (Thank you, Dan.)
Among other things, Tom has been getting in touch with his d-i-y side and building shelves and cupboards and laying tiles. I love the little recycled floor-board shelf he made for (what turns out to be my rather extensive) collection of green and blue vintage coffee cups. We love making coffee around here, especially for a big group, so that I have an excuse for amassing so many green cups.
Renovation-wise, I haven't been that helpful, really. But I did make some new curtains (you can see them in the middle photo above), from some very beautiful linen bought from here, a lucky find one day walking home from work.
We also did some work in another part of the house, to build a mezzanine for children to sleep on with their friends, and some storage cupboards. I'll show you that when it's all finished.
Happy Fathers Day to all the dads and grandads, if you celebrate it where you are. We brought Tom breakfast, and kid-made cards, coffee and newspaper in bed. A treat he never gets tired of.
tiny happy
