the man and his machine


hats off and raise your glass to the man who worked v hard in restoring the heart rimu floor to its former glory. with a machine that created a violent storm of dust and noise he walked up and down, up and down, patiently peeling back the layers to reveal the beautiful timber beneath.
and the months of work, of dreaming, of demolition, of sweat, blisters and tears came to this: the creation of a new heart for our home.

tis v difficult to photograph, to capture the colours correctly, to reveal the smell and the warmth... the colour (of the walls shown) is called summer green- a crisp, refreshing bluegreen. the facing wall is aubergine. deep, dramatic, purple (that in some lights is chocolate).

anyway, you're just going to have to come and see for yourself!
