The home for retired furniture

That's us. Just as we accept people's old plants, furniture in need of a new logement is welcome here - depending on which space needs what as we move along with this latest house 'nesting'.

Featured below, a weird, hand built . . . cupboard, thing, bought at one of our local recycling emporiums for 15 euros. Judging by the layers of paint I think it must have had several homes before, and was waiting forlornly in the hanger of junk for someone to see its potential. Now, re-painted in white and green-grey it has a nice calm home in our vintage 60s/70s bathroom.


The car load of wood is a collapsed 1970s 'tiger-veneered' wardrobe that we got in the other emporium for 5 euros. Seeing the possibility of creating a gas bottle cupboard to join the other 1970s kitchen cabinets we hauled it home and Mark is currently inventing said cupboard. The rest of the wood will be used around the house for shelves, and whatever can be constructed from 70s super dense chipboard.
