and i like it!!
so what i was thinking is how many things in this house are actually second hand or recycled... now lets see furniture wise...
the bed thats here came from corinna before she went back to cana-dad-ia...
my music cupboard came from the next door neighbours who no longer wanted it...
my dresser cost me $8 from the op shop around the corner...
this desk i'm working at was choppha's sons...
my futon i bought off of Ken - its a real 60's base on it, totally classic... i think one of the bean bags came from him too...
the 'department of foreign affairs interrogation chairs' also came from the op shop around the corner...
as did the lil lounge table...
glass shelves came from a shop that closed down around the corner and the cylinders holding them together came from reverse garbage...
the fridge was the spare bar fridge from the manse...
zara gave me two little side tables / stools before they went back to the UK, a fan, plus a whole bunch of wine glasses, placemats et al...
my record player came from my old boss who i used to work at tafe with many years ago...
the microwave was the old neighbours as when they pooled their resources obviously discovered they didn't need two...
the hall cupboard seems to belong to this house for ever and ever...
cupboard that our tele sits on was from a different antique/op shop around the corner...
things that aren't particularly recycled is only really...
i can say i DID buy the round comfy chair from freedom for an exhorbident price, but it is rather comfortable... plus a foot stool thingamo...
my push bike...
clothes racks... a pedestal fan... the stereo... oh the dvd shelving...
not bad i reckon...
and anyone that ever house-sits for me will not need to bring a single piece of crockery or entertainment... hehehe. lots of board games a-go-go. wheee!
hmmm... interesting anyways.
how many things in your house are 'brand new'??
