As some (well, most) of you know, I'm currently building my first home. The building process has been going on for a while now. Even though we are so far ahead of schedule (was given a 20 week build time but now we are almost done in less than 14 weeks!) it still feel like a long time. I just can't wait till it's all done and thats when the fun begins. The fun of hunting down the right furniture, designing a dream space, experimenting with different ideas and experimenting with non-conventional materials on walls.
Even though it will be a few more weeks before moving in, the mission to hunt down every affordable/unique pieces of furniture, lights (fittings) and artwork online and in stores has started. So far, I've found too many things I like, some insanely expensive, for example a dining table costing $6,000, love it but can't afford it :(.
The style will be somewhat industrial/retro/contemporary. I'm planning to play with all kinds of textures on the walls ie wallpapers, felt coverings, wood and concrete. A lot of these are just ideas for now, whether it happens or not depends on the cost of either getting them done by professionals or DIY. This is gonna be fun!
Anyway, these are what's been purchased so far... and there are a few more on the list!
Large Vintage Industrial Rustic Timber Workbench. 275cm x 85cm x 57cm
