I've posted heaps of before and after photos of these china cabinets, in different states of dis-repair, but they all come up beautifully with a bit of time and effort. What do you reckon?

A BIG thank you to everyone who reached out to me with sheds for rent and all the well wishers, the response was brilliant. I had 8 possible sheds to choose from, all privately owned by lovely genuine people. I've decided to move into a shed at Kalbar on Edward St. down beside the laundromat. It's a great space in a very busy little town, especially on weekends. So my business hours will be from Wednesday to Sunday, starting sometime in early March. Please come over and see me when l'm up and running, the cafes and eateries in Kalbar are amazing.

Just occasionally we get something a little different to do, like mounting a set of buffalo horns. So l've used some old silky oak and created a shape that suits.

ESTABLISHED SMALL BUSINESS LOOKING FOR A SHED SPACE.
I've been in business in Ipswich for the past 30 years and have been in my current shed for the last 10 years.
New owners have purchased the property and are increasing the rent by 30%.
This is outrageous!
They are using price comparisons of newer sheds in the area and applying these prices to the current shed l'm leasing which was originally an old carport coverted to a shed and is approximately 50 years old.
I'm on the lookout to lease a powered shed space about 90 to 100m2, which has easy vehicle access, in the Ipswich or Greater Region, including Kalbar, Rosewood, Marburg, Harrisville, Grandchester etc. It could even be a privately owned shed, and my business is low to no noise.
Please contact Steve on 0438 667 696 and please share.
Please comment and share! Walnut veneer tall boy. Some people may have painted this white to stay with a trend.......or how about making it look beautiful and original instead.
Please comment and share! English oak bureau was in need of some attention. Beautiful grain underneath that brown finish.
Please comment and share. 1900's cedar washstand converted to a hall table. Needed a complete rebuild to get it to a presentable piece again.
