This year I have very few plans or major goals, I'm just taking each day as it comes. Hope this year brings peace, happiness and all that you need #newyear #2018 #newzealand #peace #contentment #noplans #foundrynz (at Taylorville, New Zealand)

First cup of the day #1

Photo by Chevanon Photography 

First coffee of the day and this is often when I get my best (and worst) ideas .. stream of consciousness stuff probably.  It’s an odd way to start a new blog but, hey, whatever..

This is the time when I notice what song I have woken up with stuck in my head – today its a line from Clarity but misheard – “you are the piece of meat, I wish I didn’t eat..”.  Its when…

Somewhere in here is some space! What happens when a tenant leaves and you move back in with no break in between. Takes "found objects" to a whole new level #shed #space #nospace #stuff #mess #ohdeargod #wellshit #piles #rubbish #fuckbeingalandlord #found #junk #foundrynz

Paint, sand, then paint, sand, and just for fun sand some more. I'll be sporting dirty nails and paint covered fingers for work tomorrow... #paint #sanding #building #making #maker #designer #reclaim #wood #table #sunday #lovethis #sogood #moroccanpattern #foundrynz #Christchurch (at Christchurch, New Zealand)

And now it's done. When I picked this up it had a brown frame and shabby (read foul) 80's pink fabric seat and back. The back was broken and held together with aluminum strips 😱 so I pulled the chair to pieces and after a few attempts to fix the back, I gave up and replaced it with a piece of industrial conveyor belt I just happened to have laying around.. Et viola! No more nasty old doctors waiting room, just a funky slightly industrial chair that would look great as a statement piece #chair #rubber #industrial #red #black #restyled #statement #design #designer #finished #fixedit #foundrynz #Christchurch #newzealand #restoration #cool #white (at Spreydon)
