1950's cement garden pots... LOVE, LOVE
Some great shapes..... very heavy!
This morning he said he would just go back to the old house and have a look around...it seemed pretty empty in the dark, but the older couple who were moving said he was most welcome (music to Kristen's ears...he doesn't have to be asked twice) and you never know...I was thinking please don't come home with anything else....my house, yard, will burst....But ohhh.... lovely I was so happy he did. He came home with this.....
Just the kind of thing that makes my heart sing. An old metal and glass doctors cabinet on castors with all its glass shelves and perfect old paint that is all worn with rust etc etc.....YUM. Now alot of people will say "Katherine you get so many beautiful pieces of old furniture why would you like that???" I cannot really explain it is LOVE.....unrational, unconditional and all about LUST and why I can never do any other job.Not sure what I will do with her yet or even if she will be mine or some other wonderful, crazy persons that loves industrial chic. I apologise the pics aren't that good under my house. I wanted to get it in before I smashed some of the glass.
I can see it in a kitchen or bathroom or it would make an amazing display cabinet for a collection. To contact please email boathome@bigpond.net.au
We also have some more auctions going up on ebay tonight...so don't forget to have a look... click here

I understand completely! Im in love. You have to keep it, it is perfection, I actually got Goosebumps when I saw it(I know I know im a little loony but hey)How good would that look in a bathroom! Megan xx
ReplyDeleteI'm banned from buying large pieces until we move. ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! Otherwise I'd be camped outside your house ready to fight you for it. You deserve it Katherine. It's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe privilege in your line of work is that you get to KEEP those things that you love!! This one is definitely a keeper. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Michelle
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That will look fabulous in someone's home. If I showed this to Jason, he'd fill it up with little miniatures. I don't like to encourage him though...xx
ReplyDeleteKatherine what a find so lucky that Kristen went back. Old chippy and such character just how we like it. Sandy x
ReplyDeleteThat doctor's cabinet is quite fabulous. I'd say keep it for yourself.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really need pots ... I may have a window this Saturday to trek out to you.
I'll see what I can wrangle.
A-mazing!! I am now a subtle shade of green ;)
ReplyDeleteThe doctors cabinet is fabulous! Love the old pots also. Good finds. Thanks for the photos.~judy~
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I totally get it!! It's finds like this that keep you going I'm sure. But those pots are just as fabulous. My grandparents gave me some similar when they had to move out of their house. The rectangle type is now full of succulents. Your ones are so interesting though, shapes and colours. That cabinet is amazing. It's as though it's come straight from Anthropologie! My boys would think it a perfect display for lego!! A trip to Japan, lucky Chauncy! Pruxxx
ReplyDeleteDear Katherine,
ReplyDeleteif you decide to sell that docters cabinet i wuuld love it for the shop for display
Love Bev
I love love that cabinet. Did I mention love it. Oh I so wish you were in the Northeast, US I would be driving this minute to get it.
ReplyDeleteIm obsessing over that cabinet lol,told you I was loony.It has seriously inspired me to move forward with my bathroom re do, would you mind if I included it (a picture)in a post? Megan xx
ReplyDeleteKatherine
ReplyDeleteI'm mad about this one.. If I were in qld I'd be knocking your door down!!! Fabulous.. xxx Julie
Hi Megan, that would be lovely. And if any one else would like to use pics...use away, cheers Katherine
ReplyDeleteTotally get the LUST bit, Katherine. It's wonderful when you see something and you just know you HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! Fabulous cabinet!! Industrial chic, yay. I've been looking for an old printers/architects draw unit. Found one in Melbourne on ebay. Bit to big and heavy to transport to NSW. Would have cost much more than the draw unit. Had to let the lust die down on that one!...Terese
ReplyDeleteOMG that old cabinet is perfection. Would go perfectly with my smaller one in the bathroom. Pop it in a postpak and send it down would you ;0)
