Refurbishing a garden seat

This chair was of great sentimental value, the customers husband used to use it whilst convalescing, but sadly passed away. So, ‘ whatever it takes’ was the message given to me.

Media storage centre. This is a good use of a corner of a room, the drawers contain the cd’s and dvd’s, there is a section for vinyl and a bookcase. Note the underbookcase insert for cable management and the raised table for the t.v. and the space under that for the inevitable ‘box of tricks’ .Continue reading “Storage Unit”
