Relove Inc

Late on Wednesday afternoon we had a quick look in a relatively new Antiques/café place in Oxley called Relove Inc and bought this old music chart.  It was a little dirty but nothing that a good wash with hot soapy water wouldn’t fix.

Can you see the little lizard poking its head out from under the cupboard door?

It’s now hanging on a bare wall in the living area.

(Please don’t look too closely at the arms of the red chair.! Naughty Rose has been using it for a scratching post!!!!)  It normally has a cover on it but I’ve taken it off to make the photo look nicer HA HA!!

little bugger!

 

 

Thank you Rose

Rose likes to bring us gifts – feathers.

Today she brought us two!

 

We’re getting quite a collection.  We’ve got NO IDEA where she’s finding them but they keep appearing.

She’s awfully proud of them when she brings them in.

Thank you Rosebush!!!

coffee table update.

We’ve had the coffee table from Nick Scali for a few weeks now.

I did manage to knock a chunk off one of the corners while it was in the boot of the car on the way home from the warehouse.  The top is made from concrete but is obviously not as robust as I’d hoped.

Rosebush likes it!!!!

 

A cabinet for the bathroom.

Why is it  when you don’t need something eg: a tall bathroom cabinet, you see them everywhere.

I’ve been looking everywhere here in Brisbane for something suitable to use in the bathroom.  We’d like it to look ‘vintage’, even better if we could actually find something ‘vintage’.

I’ve been looking online today and really like this piece from Restoration Hardware.  It’s would be perfect but I don’t think they’d ship to Australia and it would probably cost ‘an arm and a leg’ to get it here.  It’s also priced at $875 US.

Below is what we’re currently using to store the towels, face cloths, cats etc.. we just need something to hold all the bits and pieces.  It came from an antique shop in Ipswich.  The owner of the shop told us it was probably made during the Depression (1930’s).  The shelves are old Shell Oil timber boxes.  Rosebush likes them.

I did find a great cabinet on Gumtree.  I tried to contact the seller about it but they never got back to me.  Bugger!! It would’ve been perfect.

Restore or rip it down?

This house is near us.  Is it worth saving?

What do you think Rosebush?
