    Don't go getting all excited, expecting to see a fully made bed with duvet and pillows folks.

    The bolts are all out and it's only half of it visible in the pic, it's the piece with the slats that the mattress sits on (can't be bothered unscrewing them all) the rest of it is hiding round the corner.

    Retro and vintage stuff is "cool & on trend" Hollie. Bet you could earn yourself a pretty penny on eBay from all that tat.image

     kitty, that is two benches there that are deconstructed (a bit like a cheesecake on masterchef) i only had one bed to work with, so have made one bench from it, headboard is the back of the bench and cut the footboard in half to make the two sides and the slats for the seat bit, the bit that did have the slats on originally i used at the front & rear to sit the slats on again, just off to polish my halo image I think i'm the only one here who gets excited to see all your junk corners, it's like treasure to me hahaha

    Wonderful, immaculate bench. But I think there might be something missing.image

    Hmm... Much better!

    PS It would appear that RB is beyond help! Can't seem to find any picture that would be appropriate. image

    Sanjy....that's my kind of thing!!! Well impressed with that. Yesterday I was looking at a bench at auction but it was a bit image Now I know what I'm going to do with the two bunks in the garage roof space!!!! 

    In the Winter when there's nothing happening outside (like tidyin er that) I rejig pieces of furniture. That's sheer genius!

    Classy Lantana! Excellent choice to keep the wood outside the shed and the rubbish inside! Another "pick-up-sticks" success story. Well done!

    Sanjy: lovely bench image, unfortunately I won't be able to make one, hubby burnt the head and foot boards the day after they were dismantled. Was hoping to make a planter as they were a solid/scandi/tongue and groove style. image

    Loving the jenga style stackage in the shed lantana image

    Gonna let muddle get away with the tidy tea shoppe, saved by the disintegrating Morrison's bags on the top shelf. Don't placcy bags take over 50 years to rot?

    I walked past this (the "fuel store") yesterday.  I walk past it every time I go down into the garden, but it's looked like this for 10 years (give or take) so it's just How it Is.

    Please note the compost bag on top of the half-Halfords-roof-rack-box ("lid" for coal bunker).  I think it contains leaf mould, & was left there... well, some time ago, as demonstrated by the foxgloves growing out of it...  image image  

    It'll look pretty when they flower.  Is that allowed within the rules?  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
