Every Lyrebird needs a bower

The Craftrobe..buffet courtesy ebay

Buffet & Hutch, but no huggy bear

loving my hem measure-er

The best and worst thing about moving house 
is moving house and redecorating.

After departing the burbs for a new beginning in the ranges I waved
goodbye to China White and embraced a country life coloured
in Hogs Bristle. What's not to love about country sytle, it's warm,
inviting and a little soft round the edges.

First project, apart from getting the painters to sort out the burgundy
walls was creating my new craftrobe a bower filled with the
sweetest stuff. I love it and was secretly, well not so secretly
according to the teenageress.... thrilled.

The top half of the craftrobe originally sat on a large desk in our
old study, however the Somerton study was begging for a desk in the
middle of the room. The top cabinets needed a new home!

Did my counting up + minusing and found a gorgeous buffet,
sans hutch on ebay.....a bit of paint matching here
a little sanding there and a lot of help lifting the
10 tonne cabinet on to the buffet -courtesy of 

the painters, thank you R & J, the best painters in the hills!

Finally a Craftrobe to fill with ribbons, string

craftbooks, fabric swatches..a heavenly bower.
