mantelpiece
This beautiful junk emerged from under the mantelpiece. The mantelpiece was gigantic, and covered in hideous linoleum, like the floors. We brought the mantelpiece back to it's original -more than big enough- size, sanded it down and revealed the hardwood floors. And Michiel bought outdoor fairy lights for on the porch!! Now he just has to install an outdoor socket. Minor detail.
Prachtig, het lijkt wel kunst! Krijgen we een foto van de fairy lights?

I found some old coins (threepenny bits and a sixpence) at the very back of a cupboard in an old house I once lived at so I bought one of those box frames and displayed them, along with scraps of the old linoleum and wallpaper.

Kalm aan, alles kraakpandkwaliteit vooralsnog. Gaat al ons elbow grease kosten.
