So much going on around here, I havent had much time to blog lately
Which is a shame as I do love to share what is happening here at Greystanes with the renovations..
Time Worn Styles new "showroom"
is moving along
We have had a new fuse box put in with safety switches
and some lovely "heritage style" light switches on the wall
to replace those ugly plastic white ones.
The ones I had put in are the switch just above here (bottom left corner) with the scolloped finish but with a white porcelain base.
These two were put on a wooden mount block and fixed to the wall by our wonderful electrician.
And you know what is REALLY exciting about these switches?
They normally cost around $60 EACH but I found two brand new ones at an op shop for $4 each and the mounting block for 50 cents.
As you know I do love a bargain..
and speaking of bargains
I purchased a beautiful old leadlight door to replace the boring plain wooden door that leads upstairs to the house
Currently it looks like this..

But it will be painted a nice gloss white once we get it home..
I wanted one with glass panels to let more light into the room as it is a bit dark towards the back wall.
The old double hung window I mentioned in the last post
is going to be the new front of the showroom
and will be replaced with double french doors and matching double hung windows on each side.
A bit like this but with the windows on each side of the central doors..
They are on order so will probably be about four weeks before they are in
It is good to know that progress is being made though,
and that is what I am focusing on at the moment!
And of course I am clearing out more and more goodies to make more room for painting walls etc.
Theres a bit of Vintage industrial going on in my ebay store currently
Auctions finish this Monday night here on Australian ebay so be quick!
Vintage Enamel coffee percolator and Red FIRE bucket..
Gorgeous old Willow Australia meat safe in original chippy cream, great for storage of CD's etc..
Fabulous Vintage National Australia Bank Cheque filing trunk, great for storing paper work, craft work etc or display items.
And I've got plenty more coming this week too!
