Ahh Joan, before the white comes the colour!
The old wardrobes have magically disappeared, although it's fair to say there are rather large marks where it's been. It's not just the colour that tells us a little of what has been before. If one were to take out all the drawers in the old robe, and lie on one's back looking up at the underside of what may have been a dressing table, one would have seen carved ever so carefully in the chipboard, a heart with "Vanessa" scratched within.
Of course if one had taken to the structure with a big hammer and a crow bar, there would be no need to lie on one's back....
On another note, we've spent more time than we care to admit I suspect, poking around in a well known Swedish furniture store over the past year or so, acquiring bits and bobs for the boat.
This became painfully apparent when once again we trudged south to a store from the very same chain, to start the reconstruction process for the house, and we discovered the cafe was on the wrong side of the entrance hall. Not only that, but the tables were square not round, and as we popped in to start the day with our "free" coffee (for members of the "family" of course), we should not have been surprised that the prices had a dollar sign, not a "€", but we were!
Seven trolley loads, four hours and 450kg of more stuff from the collection point later, we had all the pieces we needed safely on a truck hopefully to re-appear in our driveway after a few days.
Then we can do the same in the other bedrooms, then fix the electrical stuff, then the gyprock, then perhaps, we'll bring out the whitewash!

Love the yellow rectangles Peter. . . . with a few squares of red, black lines and the odd spot of blue you'd have a Mondrian!
It goes so well with that carpet.
