John's Blog for 2009


Friday 8 May 2009

The adventures of a door! Caroline was looking at a flush door in someone's front garden, asked a guy about it and he said he had another one upstairs he wanted to get rid of. Would she be interested? So so said yes! And so began the great custom built desk project. Caroline brought the door back home on a trolley borrowed from Homebase.


Here is the door sitting on the first floor terrace


. . . and here is Caroline wondering whether to saw it up herself


. . . but then she has a better idea and recruits Alberto, an Italian sawdsman.


Here is the business end of the door in the bedroom


. . . and now it's installed, balanced on the blue unit as a central stalk.


Good innit?! Oh, the clothes rail is one we bought in Habitat on Monday.
