One of the spare bedrooms and the second last of the wallpaper features to be completed. The furniture needs arranging but was thrown aside to make room for the wallpaper hanger.
The wooden feature thingy....no there wasn't a Stonehenge influence ! There is more work to be done with something to link the uprights....I'm working it. Once again a big thanks to Eden Earthworks for helping to make this happen with absolute precision.
This is what $1500 worth of Merbau looks like....solid 145mm posts. You can see I've started to sand the posts and stain with a water based Jarrah stain.
I lost track of time working on the driveway and to my surprise the long awaited office chair arrived. Swapping the white vase and chair to these locations worked better for me then their original locations which was the reverse of what you see. Moral of the story don't be afraid to swap things around and see how the look.
Here it is after 10 days of solid work put in by myself and the guys from Eden Earthworks. It's over budget by at least 50% and nearly killed me...I selected and trimmed every piece of slate that you see. Would I do it again? Short answer...NO. Why? Cost as mentioned, freaked out council inspectors and the worry is it strong enough? It does have advantages....it looks great, lot's of very positive comments and it can be repaired if a part becomes damaged.
I'm still getting used to this! My first thought was I has pushed the envelope too much. When I get the furniture back in and our chair arrives from Dare Gallery I'm sure it will all come together. As a side note Dare Gallery rang to tell me the chair won't be here until early October...grrrr...doesn't anybody keep stock these days?
