I know what I like (in your wardrobe)

It's by Genesis don't you know!
As requested.... a couple of photo's to update. Full post to follow....

The auction wardrobe. Distressed bluey, grey in real life.

One of the (very) few existing features of the house, lovely original doors. We have had them stripped and I have just finished waxing this one with bees wax. Black floor also visible, alas not so shiny now covered in layers of dust. Radiator back in place, not quite working but hey, details, details.



Da daaa... bath in situ , the taps work and everything! (Alas same can't be said of shower at the mo).

Points of note note niches above bath, genius idea of Miro's. Just applied door handle - sourced from eBay, good replica of much much more expensive Victorian originals.

  1. Oooo VERY pretty wardrobe! Actually similar to one I was wistfully watching (but alas not bidding!) on ebay a few weeks ago! Love the bath in situ and the grey and the choice of three places to put your wine glass! You're doing a fine job Ellison! High Five! Martina...Martina??? I know you're here!

  5. Hi there
    The Beeswax was just from a local DIY shop, B&Q or any DIY shop will have it.
    Good luck x
