<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So pleased to bag the YV&R cover for this beautiful home and garden in Olinda. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the design of this room, and its textural rough and smooth combination.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The woven floor rug and chunky knit ottoman ruffle a few smooth surfaces and the turmeric gets a little spicy with the creamy, natural palette. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #93c47d;">I LOVE LAYERING</span></strong>...so vertically stacking the endless homeware bibles on a wall looks sensational and is functional when next to a well loved reading chair!</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I <strike>hacked</strike> borrowed the idea from a floating bookshelf gizmo that, unfortunately is <br />not available in Oz.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">diy floating books stacks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="color: #93c47d;">Get yourself to the hardware</span></strong> store and pick up some <strong><span style="color: #93c47d;">L-shaped brackets</span></strong>( you can see mine if you peek underneath the stacks) plus the appropriate <span style="color: #93c47d;"><strong>fastening screws</strong>.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Make sure you keep in mind the <strong><span style="color: #93c47d;">type of wall</span></strong> you are working on eg. plaster walls <br />require a special type of fastener as they crumble easily, which is not great for <br />supporting a stack of books!<br /><strong><span style="color: #93c47d;">Measure up</span></strong> the length of the mag/books then position the brackets to allow the stack </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">to centre- in my excitment I forgot about the overhang each side of the bracket and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">had to start again...but first ,a little polyfilla.<br />I made stacks tall enough to cover the vertical part of the bracket as I did not want </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">to tempt fate with skyscraping towers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once they have been collected leave them until the pods split- its easiest to prise open the green shells with your feet (shoes essential) to extract the chestnuts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: orange;">scoring the skin</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ffd966;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">before roasting is essential. Using a </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">sharp knife or scalpel, score the skin with a cross marking (note x split on roasting chestnuts) this prevents exploding chestnut bombs during cooking.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">roasting </span></span></span></span>is ea<span style="font-size: small;">sy, according to m</span>y Italian girlfriend<span style="font-size: small;">, Caterina. H</span></span>er father fashioned a chestnut roaster, many years ago (which she still uses) from an old frypan and a drill. I didn't have an old frypan, or a Calabrian father but did have the internet and hey presto, 2 days later there was my CR waiting comfortably at the front door...begging for a roasting</span>.<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The firepit and new roaster (pictured) were put to work and the results were fantastic. We tried sweet cinnamon and salty chestnuts, both yummy. Highly recommend roasting over an open fire, so much tastier than oven roasted, just ask Caterina, it was all her idea!</span><br />

<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: white;">The burgundy & gold on the post modern (ie acrylic) clawfoot bath</span> </span></span></span></span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">were always gawners...as gawn as a newly minted parent in a Downton manor. After a few calls to pro spray painters I decided that the
$600 could be put to better use and, as I was not terribly attached to
our post modern (i.e. acrylic) clawfoot bath I would paint it myself!</span></b><br />
<span style="color: white;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">e</span>xterior base</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The exterior base of the bath was given a coat of triple prep (surface paint glue) and then a few coats of oil based enamel, in tiffaney-ish blue with a mini roller. Contortion cramps and paint fumes aside I'm well pleased with the colour. </span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">clawfeet</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Searching, searching on ebay for clawfeet and found a whole shoe rack at the <a href="http://www.schots.com.au/">Schots </a>ebay store...EUREKA, says I, but my sensible twin told me to make enquires re feet and fit </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">before hitting 'buy it now'. BUGGA one size does NOT fit all, so it's back to the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">hardware store pour moi for more strong paint. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Changing the colour of the feet was a Goldilocks process.The first foot trial was an attempt at a bronzey look, to match our door hardware. Black and brown enamel mini pots were purchased to paint what eventually looked like dirty hobbits feet. <b>Too Golim</b>. Next came hogs bristle trotters. <b>Too creamy</b> against the honey floor. Then methinks silver enamel and goodbye Goldilocks, hello gorgeous and its<b> just right</b>! Loving the silver and looks authentic if you are slightly myopic. Perfick!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"> a nip & tuck for a buffet sans hutch</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"> </span>The old pedestals, wall cabinets, sconces and glass wall shelves were delivered unto the ebay ether and the new basin rests comfortably on the right hand side of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>buffet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My handyman cut a hole in the benchtop to drop in the basin and consequently we have one dummy drawer..but at 2metres in length, this baby has ample storage, so no drama.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The skirting boards were cut and edged nicely to accommodate the new vanity, new wall scones installed and my 2 old antique gold mirrors were given a lick of hogs bristle quarter strength and carefully hung. Still to finish painting the ceiling and the wet room shower is the next phase of the the reno...can't wait till it arrives.</span><br />
