Today I am just posting a few pics of the cabins in making....
I think the rustic beds are just the most gorgeous things.....made from old railway sleepers....
Took me a while to get the name of this beautiful succulent...it has been flowering for months and the little tubular bell-like flowers have changed in colour from green to corally green....awesome.
Claude made me two gorgeous little footstools.....bankies. It took him days to prepare the old wood to get this beautiful pieces of wood with the most stunning grain....
This is what the wood looked like - before.
Two beautiful foot stools....
This is what the cabin looked before....
The cabins are made from the timber of the old 1892 Town Hall from Ba. It was a colonial town and the hall was used for sports and social events....We bought the building, dismantled it and this is what we built from the oregon pine treasure......
Using old timber requires a lot ( a lot) more hard work than new timber....
We used corrugated iron to clad the walls around the space where the bed would go....
Cutting pieces of roofing iron to clad walls....
a good view of old and new on a piece of timber....
The man! Claude is soo handy....I am actually spoilt because I just assume he can make and build everything I want....
a Lovely view of the wooden table and warderobe built.... I used hessian bags to cover the shelves under the table...
We are off the grid on the farm. We have a 1000W inverter that converts solar power 12V to 220 V and can run small appliances with the power generated.
Claude hard at work.....
I am happy with the end result. Although our cottages are still under construction, it is a very rewarding experience .
