Lily is loving her new cat tree. 😍

Made from parts of an old ash tree that was here when I moved in. Love putting old timber to good use!!

This thing weighs a ton... I just hope they actually use it.

After almost a year, I have finally got around to upgrading the pantry. It is still a work in progress, but it is so much more functional and organised!

My first foray into cabinet making and carpentry, and made entirely with DIY tools! Ozito 🥹

Not gonna lie, there were tears in the process (I can laugh now) and I still need to paint, add trim and a front panel to the drawers. Let me know what ya think!

I cannot believe how good these pantry doors turned out! Look at the depth of colour in the leadlight 😍😍 ... One of my largest and most complex projects to date!

The original pantry had only one door with a small 80cm opening... The new pantry now spans nearly 1.2m! 📏 Matching the style of the others doors in the house, this new set of doors brings an elegant pop of colour and it is made from antique leadlight, solid timber panels and MDF.
