Every now and then I like to treat myself to a piece that I know is going to be a keeper, well at least for a little while anyway.
I found this gorgeous timber antique desk at the thrift store yes that’s true. I knew it was going to be on the expensive side as most thrift stores seem to be overpriced these days. But it must of been my lucky day and in the car it went.
I love the wide timber panels, it has such character don’t you think?
Gorgeous over-sized pigeon hole cabinet that I have just finished painting white.
Now I will just have to find the perfect spot for it.
I will share some more finds with you next week.

Hi Sandy,
I am a new reader, found your blog on Mel's blog Stripes by the Seaside. Loving all your work!
I am in Toowoomba so am planning a trip down to Brissy to go to the market and see all your lovely goodies, looking forward to it.
I also just read your post on your kitchen countertops being sprayed – do you think you could comment with the company name please? I could pick one out of the yellow pages but would rather work on word of mouth recommendations. Thanks.
Also, I love the book paper wreath you do – saw it first on Stripes by the Seaside. Very sad to find that blog is not being done anymore – any idea if it'll be back at all? Please keep up your blog as I am really enjoying it. So nice to find inspirational blogs that are right in my backyard.
Keep writing (and painting!)

Der Schreibtisch ist einfach nur schoen !!! Ich mag es sehr gern, wenn das Holz schon einen starken Charakter / Patina angenommen hat und man sich vorstellen moechte, was das Moebel schon alles erlebt hat.

That company is still in business. I think it is from the 1930/40 era by the look of it. You could ask them. Lovely piece!
