About 2.5 years ago I rescued an old wardrobe from the carpark at the local church. It was headed for the tip but I had other ideas, so one evening (after getting permission from the church) I sent Steve up in his ute to collect it for me. It then sat under our pergola area for the next couple of years. It was destined to replace and very nice but not very us cabinet that had served it’s purpose well (ie held our junk and clutter for many years) but to be honest I just felt it was not the right piece to decorate such a prominent wall in our house.

So the rescued piece has been on our to do list for a while. It needed some minor repairs to the drawers, a couple of new handles, a new door and some shelves. Not much I thought (as I wouldn’t be doing very much of the work!)

Well a few weeks back I snapped and decided it was time for this treasure to make its way inside. After 2.5 years it took a whole 24 hours and it was done. Seriously why did we wait so long? It came up a treat! My hubby is one very clever man :)

Here is the wall before (eeeewww)

 

and after (aaahhhh)

It is my new favourite piece of furniture in the house.

We have been busy outside as well, but will save that for another time.
