Day 671: Kitchen counters

The kitchen counters are 60mm thick sand kiaat timber. I love them.

The most amazing thing about the counters is the story of where they came from. On a residential property close to Tzaneen a very old large tree fell down due to natural causes. The land owner requested and received a permit from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to remove the tree and to use the timber to make furniture.  Now it is in my kitchen.

Day 667: Electrical plugs

I have been absent for a while. Moving turned out to be a much bigger job than simply moving boxes from our apartment to our house. We have to install shelving, make furniture, order curtains… and the list continues. Interior design is a whole new game and we have a few interesting stories about reclaimed timber tables and sustainable foresting. But for now, have a look at our electrical wall plugs. I am trying to use as much white as possible with the interior finishes to contrast with the textures and earthy tones of the architecture.
