New Project Part 3

After quite some stress, the windows are finished!



It looks very pretty but mum, as a civil engineer, was a bit worried about the work and quality, I had to hold her back often to let it all be untill they where finished. It is not done as it should but in Turkey we often have to learn to live with things for 'less'.


Now comes the more challenging part, we have to get rid of the old stuff, making new tables and drawers, and then move the tons of supplies to our new space. Luckely the distance is not as far as the last move, but it will be quite a task, to be continued....
Here you can read Part 1 and Part 2.



Today the postmen brought a box with a little treasure we purchased at a lovely new shop on Etsy, ComeDayGoDay.


This trinket box is hand constructed with copper wire, vintage Mother of Pearl and linen buttons, bone beads, lead fishing weights and is lined with wood veneer and pale grey cotton organdie. A beauty!

  5. Oh the new working place looks so great already! I am so envious now, I want to have a house too and build and rebuild it how I want :)

    And the working men...heh, we still have our balcony handrail (what is it called?) unfinished, because the working was feeling tired and wanted to continue next day, but he never showed up! :D
