Gosh..looks like everything gets "distressed" by me... I hope my place won't look like some museum when the furnishing is done..

Finally got rid of the seller's dining set today. it was one of two things from the sellers that I kept (the other was the huge white fridge). The rest of their furniture were donated to Good Samaritans before my Reno started. The dining table was useful when I hosted dinner in my new place in january this year before my Reno and it held all my barang barang during the Reno (eg. Sample tiles, laminate catalogue, tools, newspapers etc). I actually wanted to keep it in my study room but it was taking up too much space and so I decided to dispose of it.

It's so huge that it had to be dismantled or else it cant pass through the door (what u see here is the underside of the table top)

I'm a little sad to see it go but happy that my study room is spacious again!

The town council guys were very punctual and they helped dispose the table and chairs FOC. I have nothing but praise for my town council. I called them on three occasions about different issues and each time they sent someone to my place very quickly. The fastest response was on the same day- just hours after I called them.

Anyway, here are two before and after shots of my dining chairs. These were taken long time ago but I was too busy to post. Now that I'm on Xmas leave, I will be posting more before and after shots, before signing off from this forum forever. :)

I stained the seat to a darker colour to match my dining table.

Dropped by a vintage shop this afternoon. It was a small little shop opened by a nice couple and they sell real vintage stuff, not replicas. I was having a hard time deciding between a camera and a radio till I spotted some interesting vintage car paraphernalia. It's strange that I noticed them since I know nothing about cars and I don't even drive. But I guess it's fate. So here they are

A Buick Eight 1930s steering wheel , a 1950s oil pressure and temperature gauge, and a license plate with a tear at the bottom because it was ripped off from the car (no idea how old it is).

They are so full of character that I wonder what's the story behind each of them.

Hello, I initially wanted caesarstone but decided at the last minute to just use normal solid surface. Although I cook often, it's mostly light cooking with little oil. So no point spending so much on caesarstone

Wow the car petrol (or diesel) & temperature gauge is really cool! Haven't seen this before!

I actually thought it was a clock! :)

If you cant find the vintage radio, you can consider this as well.

I blame it on my job for this really last minute, last of 2013 home improvement project :( but at the same time, I think it's really hilarious !! Im supposed to be hosting Xmas tea at my new place and EVERYTHING is not ready! My friends asked if I'm sure I really want a Xmas gathering on wednesday. Hahaha! Of course the party goes on..because I intend to do my whirlwind superman non-stop routine from now till Xmas morning. And on Boxing Day, stay in bed whole day with aching bones and muscles

, headache and sore throat :)

Merry Xmas everyone! Hope you have a good holiday in your cosy homes :)
