I Wanna See Your Peacock

Originally imported from East Asia, these outdoor statement pieces were inspired by the splendid peacock throne originally designed for Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Peacock chairs were ever present in the 60's until the 70's when they became an outdated commodity. In the last five years or so they have been creeping up in major furniture lines accompanied with an indulgent price tag.So your best bet would be to source a second hand number and make a weekend project out of it.

Cabinet Handle Love

1 / 2 / 3 / 4

A couple of months ago Luke & I gave our antique tea cart a make over & shortly afterwards were eyeing off our furniture to see what we could do next together. We both really would ideally like to replace our small tv cabinet, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and because we're moving in a couple of months our possible new purchase might not fit our future space. So until then we decided to sand back our current wooden one and spruce it up with some paint and new cabinet handles. We picked out the colour easily enough, but are still a little undecided with the handles. I'm leaning more towards the third option.
