• From garbage to gorgeous – transforming a three panel screen

  I stumbled across this rattan screen about 4 years ago. It was 7.30am, I was driving to work… my attention was drawn to a skip sitting outside a house in our street. Sticking out the top of the skip was a small portion of this rattan screen/room divider – It looked promising! So much so,…

• The Junk Company… where you can find a hidden treasure

  I only stumbled across The Junk Company recently, and have now placed it on my (long) list of places I must visit frequently to check for any new items. Visit their website here. I can’t explain the feeling I get as I approach an antique shop, or any kind of junk/vintage style shop. It is…
