Taking a walk on the wild side....

I made the decision to leave my day job, something that I had been thinking about for a while.

It was for the right reasons I feel, as I have now taken up employment in my hubby's business.

Display pool at a show

After much convincing that he is an awesome boss, and his company offers rewards in more ways than I care to disclose,hehe,  joining him and his fabulous staff, was a no-brainer!

The new display centre in the making

Now before you think it, no, it has nothing to do with junk, antiques, vintage, shabby, or anything remarkably close, but as it is part time, I will have some free time to play with the studio!

Where do I start...

My first project was to paint and furnish my new Saturday office...well, when I say new, it is an old siteshed, half-tiled floor, bad paint job, and a rickety aircon...

Hubby's first words were, ' No old stuff is to enter this office'!

'What the', was my reply...

So this is my challenge. I havent worked with new, or modern before.

So far, Im not doing a very good job.

I found an old 70's shelf, love it, especially after I painted it. He said it was o.k.

Then I found a table and chairs....Im in the process of painting, but he doesnt like them,  'too curvy' he said.

He already found the lounge...I dont like it.

Well, I think this will test our work-relationship somewhat.

As I have mentioned on Facebook before, Andy works in the pool industry, manufacturing, sales, transport, and more recently landscape lifestyles. Im involved in consults,customer liason , and possibly design and marketing. The boss just doesnt know it yet , wink, wink!

This year has evolved into something I would never had imagined, my plans are like my furniture, they never stay put for long...

I believe things and people happen for a reason, and I am where Im meant to be at this moment, Im not sure why, but I will embrace it, and fly with it...

Of course, Junkstudio is my project, and my creative outlet.

I will continue to fill orders and try to have the occasional sale, and try to post about the latest junk find.But nothing is firm or set in concrete anymore, a realization of late.

I hope you will always be around to inspire me, and encourage me to stay on the junk wagon, and just give me a shove everynow and then,  to follow my dreams and enjoy everything that life throws my way.

A wonderful friend advised me of these words, she is so wise.....

What time is it...What day is it??

Im buried in work and junk!

 'Operation cleanup' continues at a slow pace, adding one thing at a time to the studio pile!

I also wanted to share with you, a little display my hubby put together at the 
Pool, Spa and outdoor living expo in Sydney.
He sells, transports and delivers fibreglass pools around Australia, so expos are a great way to advertise!

As it was his first in Sydney, I thought I should check it out.It was by far the best display, and they were run off their feet all weekend with interest, and he may have sold the display spa pool too!

This video is without the spajets operating...It is the first fibreglass spapool to have a wet edge (where the water runs over the edge).And his mate made a roller to fit neatly under the deck, easily accessible to cover the pool when not in use.
If anyone is interested(in downunder of course), let me know!

My friend Jen hung out in the sauna most of time!


Now it is back to adding more stock to HERE, and then off to the real job!
Catcha!

Keeping it going!!

Im trying to keep this 'clearing out' marathon going, but its getting a bit harder to find the 'pickup and sell' items....Im now at the 'pickup and fix, paint, and recreate' kind now!

I think Im down to my last two just listed on ebay!

Remember this post? Well this is the shelf I cant bare to put up again, in fear of losing more precious things!

And this gorgeous , mmm, what would you call it, tray shelf? It looks great in my living area, but I had it crammed with photo frames and dust, and I think the dust was winning! So it is time to go!

My hubby just got back from a big trip to Broome, and he hasnt noticed all the bare spots around the home, it takes him a few days, sometimes weeks! I even have a sideboard Im selling in front of his side of the robe in our room, and he just squeezed past it to grab some clothes!

 Do you think he noticed, or has he just become accustomed to dodging everything here?? I mean, a sideboard in the middle of the bedroom, blocking his wardrobe door?

 Well, he'll be gone again on Sunday for another few weeks, so I think he has alot on his mind, other than my junking woes!

Ive nearly finished some more projects, ready to share with you soon!
