New additions to my aesthetic home display

A while ago a friend with the same deep love of beautiful objects told me the term that describes us “aesthete” once reading the definition, I felt complete ✨

Objects such as, Architecture, Trees, Decorative Arts, Period Oak, 16th – 20th century art, Contemporary art, Women, Gardens, Music, Flowers, Personalities, Views etc…. I could go on and on!

A couple of new additions to my home display. A contemporary green and blue glass sculpture and an unusual Nouveau green glass and pewter jug.

Some would say Noice✨

Called into a customer’s home today to touch out some damage on their dining table.

Didn’t have a busy day planned, so a little colouring therapy did me well. As did my very nice customers and their beautiful home.
I certainly get to see some of the finest homes within Australia over the years.

Still a couple of weeks of holidays, but pop into showroom at times as not always away…

Restoration of a smashed up chair.

A customer brought this smashed up chair in recently, asking if there’s any hope of repairing, as is part of a set?

I wish I could make some of these names stand out in gold, but they know exactly who they are.

Several have sadly passed on and a few aren’t even friends anymore, however that doesn’t change my huge appreciation for their generous kindness once given…
