DIY GARDEN ART PLANTERS (P.1) - @dianamaddeford and @runningformum

"A couple of weeks ago we called into @deyoungs_osullivan_beach and picked up two old half 44 gallon drums and an old sink, that @dianamaddeford said she wanted to turn into some planters for the garden.

We’d had a pretty rough few weeks, and this ended up being her creative outlet and art therapy all in one.

One of the drums she had me cut in half to make two planters with, and the other she kept as it was. Cutting one in half, cleaning the rust off the inside of them and painting them with primer was the extent of my input, the rest was all her doing.

Two of the drum planters are finished and in the garden with plant in, along with the sink. The other drum has been painted, but isn’t in the garden yet.

I think she’s done an amazing job with them. Hopefully the clear coat on them protects them and they last for many years, because they look fantastic!"

C. 1920s KITCHEN BUFFET - @misslizz_beyondbeautifulsl

We are delighted to feature Lizz, one of our valued customers, who has given new life to this beautiful 1920s buffet she purchased from us.

Once a forgotten treasure, this buffet has been lovingly re-established in Lizz’s home, where it now stands proudly adorned with vintage tins and set against a freshly painted wall. It’s a perfect example of how once-loved items, instead of being discarded, can be revived and cherished again, adding timeless charm and character to a modern space.

We also want to give a special shout-out to Beyond Beautiful Style Lounge in McLaren Vale, where Lizz is making waves with her support of sustainable practices! (@beyondbeautifulstylelounge)

Thanks, Lizz, for showing us how to rediscover and renew the beauty of the past in style!
