The rubbish tip at Stanthorpe has a recycling centre (know by all as The Dump Shop) which is run by the Endeavour Foundation to raise money to support local Downs Syndrome people. They get such an eclectic collection of items - some dumped, some donated - that people line up at the door on Saturdays waiting for the opening hour! It's terrific fun! This treasure is a vintage, silky oak, double-ended, single bed. It just needed stripping of the white paint, sanding and varnishing - just those things!! Many, many hours later it is actually starting to look like it's going to be worth the effort.
What a great idea. So much hard work too. It's a big thing to paint unloved furniture here, I guess in 20 years time there will be tutorials on how to remove it!
@granagringa Hi Madelaine. The camera and I have come to a sort of understanding about the blur! LOL. I'm not sure if the word "mastered" is deserved though - but it is very nice of you to say so!! Cheers Rob
