A little more of the dark timber

Well this is an old cupboard at the end of my kitchen.. We found it in very bad disrepair for $10 at a school fete and Geoff turned it into a cupboard that stores wine with my favourite ironstone basins on the shelves above... Near the apron hanging on the wall is the door to our tiny wee bathroom, it is all timber as well.... I have painted a piece of ply wood with black chalk board paint and written one of my Mum's favourite recipes.... The pine chair came from my Nanna's house!!!

Never commented on your blog before, but just wanted to say I've enjoyed looking at your blog for awhile since Katie Estvold mentioned you on hers. I don't always have time to read it but just love looking thru it. It's lifts me up when I'm blue. Thank you for that. Love your work....
