kitchen finished and looking great

30/6/2014

At last, the kitchen's ready. I finished the units ages ago but got stuck on the worktop. Just couldn't work out how to solder the zinc worktops without them looking like a mini volcanic field so in the end had to admit defeat and buy a lovely oak worktop from Norfolk Oak instead. Looks great!

port hole curtains

It took us some time to work out how to fix curtains to the portholes so that the room has privacy at night but the lovely windows aren't hidden. Decided in the end to make some removable curtains from a set of old Venici curtains. During the day they can be hung on hooks on the door or left partially covering the windows and at night can be extended to their full width. Neat.

VENICI LIVES ON

Our old house, Venici, was completely knocked down when we built the new house in 2013. All that remained was the garage and the old house sign. 
We converted the garage into a self-contained studio, with sitting area, mini-kitchen, bedroom and shower-room. Great for visiting friends who want some privacy, anti-social teenagers or grandparents seeking some peace and quiet.

Made an oak shoe and coat rack for the utility room. Plenty of hooks for children and adults. Please make use of the children's waterproofs - you may need them!

can rabbits fly?

Is June when moths come out? Spotted two of them today. 
The first one was a huge monster sunning itself on the balcony balustrade and looking remarkably like a rabbit! We think it may be a pale tussock.
The second was hiding away in the shed. Think this one is a white ermine moth.
Weird.

With our first guests arriving in less than 3 weeks, I though it was time to tidy the sheds but I'd forgotten how much stuff we 'd squirrelled away, including a lovely old pram!
