Some things in life have to be marked as momentous, it throws such curve balls that we have to celebrate the good with all our energy. Given the tragic events of this weekend, I feel blessed to have had the company of fantastic friends last night for our surprise party thrown in honour of Mrs... Continue Reading →
The salvaged Banana Bench makes her debut on the tenants’ terrace

Our salvaged piece of Robinia timber was sanded down using a belt sander and fixed in place using some heavyweight screws on the original two slate end posts. I hate the striped slate which...

Reclaimed gorgeous timber for our Moregeous project
Back in 2001 I met a man with a passion for trees. Having always had a real love for oddly shaped bits of timber and driftwood, it made me realise there were other people out there who shared this passion, so I wasn't just a weirdo wood lover! When I bought my first flat in... Continue Reading →
