About 4 weeks ago Mark and I were gifted a nice little sum of money thanks to “Fair shake of the sauce bottle” Kevin Rudd. This money is called stimulation, and is supposed to be spent. We put a bit of thought into what to spend it on, and decided on buying a couch. The best thing is this couch is made right here in West Australia, and we did exactly what K-Rudd wanted us to with his stimulation. This is the first time we have actually bought a couch where we put a lot of thought into what we wanted, how it should look, and how big it should be. I did have a panic atack when it turned up, it seemed much smaller in the shop, but we have managed to fit her in and it looks great.
Mark and I recently went to the West Australian Art Gallery, and saw an exhibition of designer furniture. once of the pieces at the exhibition was the ‘Campfire’ table. When I got home a Googled to see where I could get one, but the $2300 price tag was far too prohibitive- that is like over 3 simulations. So we headed off to faithful Bunnings and set about building our own one. It only took a few hours to chisel out the bits, and I am not much of a handy-man, and usually end up making a mess and ending up with a half-finished project, but this was so easy, and I think it looks great.
