Now that is seriously cool!
All fair comments.. but
- Look at the state of that grass
- Plastic plant containers. No. Just no.
- And they are full of weeds.
Maureen loves it !Our house is Edwardian and it's screaming out for something like that in the back garden. However, I'm sure Mrs P will tell me how wrong I am when she gets home next week
Mrs P might but then she might not.Maureen loves it !
Instead spunking up unnecessary cash on replacements, she's bastardised what's there instead of consigning more waste to landfill. She's pretty creative and has that arty-farty eye, so I let her get on with it.Up-cycling? Please don't tell me she has the shabby chic bug or as I like to call it
shitty shack.
As I said before, mrs powlo has been busy..l.lMrs P might but then she might not.
She ripped the sink out of one of the bedrooms on Monday; she initially wanted it gone altogether but then changed her mind because it was an Edwardian feature to have a sink in the bedroom. She's up-cycled the ugly-ass cabinet that surrounded it and now she's ordered a lump of wood to act as new base. She'll stain and seal it before installing it and then she'll fit a new sink and tap, which are also on order. Oh, and she spent last weekend up-cycling the Ikea drawers we bought as a stop gap when we first moved to Maidstone 12 years ago.
I just shut myself in my office and let her get on with it.
She has but you wrote it in the wrong thread.As I said before, mrs powlo has been busy..l.l
Send her over when she's done. I have a few decorating jobs that I'm behind schedule with, due to returning to "normal" work.She has but you wrote it in the wrong thread.
She's also renovated the stairs and bannisters; finished decorating two bedrooms; designed the dressing room (fitting it was part of the service so she didn't need to get dirty on that one); and cleared the back garden. We had the roof professionally repaired because I wouldn't let her go up the ladder.
No time with her day job. She’s just back from Luxembourg; she’s off to Valencia tomorrow and then Mexico City on Friday and not back til Monday.Send her over when she's done. I have a few decorating jobs that I'm behind schedule with, due to returning to "normal" work.
