I have been off working on another venture for awhile (creating a community for like minded event creatives to share their cool unique stuff - <a href="http://www.gathrin.com/" target="_blank">Gathrin</a>), but it is so good to be back and designing and making stuff with my hands again.<br />
<br />
I have designed and made (with the help of a certified electrician, thanks Tim) some exposed industrial style lighting, concrete planters with touches of copper and greenery to add to the look. Let me know what you think of this look. You can hire all of this through my <a href="https://www.gathrin.com/en/quirkycomforts" target="_blank">hire shop</a> link above.<br />

When we bought our house last year, all I saw was the up-cycling potential, especially in the kitchen. The kitchen had been made from wine barrel wood. Who in their right mind would rip all this solid wood out and start again??? Definitely not me. So I decided, since we are not rolling in dough, the best thing to do would be to up-cycled our existing kitchen. I painted the cabinets to give it a fresh face lift and added some new door knobs.</div>

When we are rolling in dough we want to eventually add wooden bench tops, take out the top cabinets to open it up and add off white subway splash back with exposed shelving. Install a beautiful country style cooker. Above the cooker we want to get an up-cycled cooper/metal extraction fan. Find a butler style sink and old tap wares to finish the up-cycled look off.</div>

Living in a 110year old country home definitely has it's advantages like finding hidden treasures buried under the house. So far we have uncovered vintage bottles, rusty bed frames, a rusty old scythe, corrugated iron and wooden sleepers. I just love up-cycling items and making them fit into places you wouldn't ordinarily place them. Take for instance an old rusty gate...........turning it into a kitchen hanger for my up-cycled kitchen....genius!! And I just love it!!</div>

We would love to have a kitchen company come in and up-cycle our kitchen using Vintage and recycled finds but it is very hard to find companies that are willing to take the time to do this. <b><a href="http://www.thekitchenplace.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Kitchen Place</span></a></b></div>

I just love that Vintage Industrial Pendant Light, the use of old scales to hang a plant and the exposed metal pipping for the exhaust fan. Not to mention the exposed brick and tractor seat stools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There are so many elements I would love to incorporate into my kitchen from this design. Unfortunately we don't have brick to expose in our walls but I do want to use the idea of exposed shelving which I think would really help to open our kitchen up. I am also very desperate for industrial lighting and some funky up-cycled stools. I do not particularly like the colour in the cabinets, I would have kept them white as I feel it distracts from the exposed brick which really should be the hero in this kitchen. I would of also made the kitchen island the other way around, so wooden bench top with white cabinet under, this would allow the tractor stools to shine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I love the open feel that this up-cycled kitchen has and I hope one day soon I can create my perfect up-cycled kitchen too.</div>

I have a beautiful front deck on my old house but had no table to do it justice. So project 'find old door' started. I have always wanted to have a go at making a gorgeous old door into a long table so now I had my chance....<br />
<br />
First I needed to find myself an old door. Onto Ebay I went......nothing..........then gumtree.......two old doors up for sale in my local area!!!!! I went and looked at them to make sure they were sturdy and in fairly good nick and much to my delight they were...SOLD. Two old doors were now mine.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So I'm finally settling in to our new home and I've just realised it's almost Christmas!!!!! Freak out!!!!! The whole family is coming to stay out in the country with us so I wanted to add something simple to say it's Christmas time at our house.<br />
<br />
I've always wanted to make a wreath but I've never really seen one that I love that is easier enough to make. So when I saw a wreath made out of ribbons it gave me an idea!<br />
<br />
I'll make a Rustic Hessian Wreath using the same principles and it only takes an hour, if that!! So easy!!<br />
<br />
Here it is......why not follow instructions below and give it a go!!<br />

Ok, so I've finally come back to Blogsville............. I know it's been a while but I do have an excuse........<br />
We have escaped to the country!!!!<br />
<br />
My man got a job in Toowoomba, QLD and so the journey began to find our perfect home. We had a pretty modern home in Brisbane that had limited charm and character, apart from what I could bring to it through furnishings and dint's in the wall. So with my love of all things Vintage and old it was time to find a home that fitted my love.<br />
<br />
We did find our dream home, 20mins out of Toowoomba in a little country town with nothing but a post office and a pub. We don't even have a letter box!!<br />

We do however have the most amazing views.................There is something very healing about seeing for miles in the distance across green fields. In the city I could never see the horizon, but once out in the country my lungs could breath deeper and my shoulders relax.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

They are so easy and so pretty<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Christmas is such a great time to get creative. I know in my household money is tight this year (moving house does not help either) so why not save some money and make your own Christmas gifts for the whole family. These easy to do it yourself Christmas baubles would also be the perfect gift at your work breakups and Christmas parties.<br />
<br />
It has so much more meaning when you can say that you put your own time and energy to make your gifts and people really do appreciate it more than a bought gift.<br />
<br />
Choose Christmas colours, green and red seem to be the going trend again this year or try doing something a little Quirky!!!!! I love pink and red combinations, as you can see from below's tutorial. Other great Christmas combos are red and white, blue and silver, and silver and white (have a snowy Christmas theme).<br />
<br />
This tutorial was featured in the courier mail last year but since it is such a great tutorial I thought I'd use it again this year.<br />
<br />
Hope it brings some Christmas cheer to your friends and family and maybe even to your own home.<br />
<br />
I would love to see your finished baubles so send photos through to my<a href="mailto:quirkycomforts@iinet.net.au"> email</a> so I can share your creations.<br />
<br />

I will be joining <a href="http://www.littlevintagedays.com/">Little Vintage Days</a> at <a href="http://ecobrides.com.au/wp/eco-wedding-fair/">The Eco Bride Wedding Fair</a> next Sunday the 25th August. We have been able to meet some other amazing vendors who will be at the expo and had the opportunity to collaborate on a photo shot with a Rustic Picnic theme.<br>
<br>
I found the most amazing wedding venue at Dayboro, only 45min out of Brisbane at <a href="http://www.blueridgelavender.com/">The Blue Ridge Lavender Farm</a>. There is a gorgeous restored Queenslander, used as a guest house, a sweet lavender field, perfect arbor, and stunning green hillsides surrounding the property. You can contact Sherree via <a href="mailto:sherree@blueridgelavender.com">email</a> to discuss your visions for your wedding day.<br>

The day began with Sonja from <a href="http://www.littlevintagedays.com/">Little Vintage Days</a> and I heading up to beautiful Dayboro. We stopped for coffee first at a cute little cafe called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Dayboro-Deli/230147793718823">The Dayboro Deli</a>, you must visit!! Then we headed up to the farm which is only 5 min out of Dayboro town.<br>
<br>
We were stunned by the beauty of the landscape and how lucky we were at finding this special little getaway, thanks Sherree for leting us use your venue for the shot!! <a href="http://www.blueridgelavender.com/">The Blue Ridge Lavender Farm</a>.<br>
<br>
Unpacking the cars began and we were thankful to have the muscles of handsome Swedish model Alex.................................................................... blush............................................... thanks Alex<br>

Set in the Historic Town of Warwick, part of the Southern Downs in QLD, this stunning homestead was built in 1840 by a Farmer and Visionary, John Duechar. Unfortunately the building was never fully finished due to bankruptcy and the passing of this generation. It was home to many others but then 70 years ago left to wreck and ruin.<br>

I am taking some time out from running classes due to moving but classes will be up and running in Toowoomba and Brisbane in the near future. If you have a group of 5 that would like to book a class I can come to your home to do the class if you live in the greater Toowoomba region. Just contact me by <a href="mailto:quirkycomforts@iinet.net.au">email</a><br />
<br />
In the mean time you can purchase Quirky Comforts Lampshade making kit from my shop and learn to make it by watching the video link here <a href="http://youtu.be/_hwJzvm41c0" target="_blank">Quirky's Lampshade making video</a><br />

I scored these awesome Bentwood chairs from an Auction last year and I finally got the motivation to restore them for a Vintage Wedding photo shoot. (More about the shoot in coming weeks).<br>
<br>
Unfortunately due to the horrible whether at the outdoor auction, the wood under the cushion got water damaged so I had to throw that part away and I replaced them with some ply wood that we cut our selves.<br>
<br>
Below I will show you what I did to bring them back to life with a Quirky marshmallow touch!!! Enjoy the process and have a go at reinventing your own chairs.<br>

I know like many of us that dream has not come to fruition.........yet!!!!! My husband is a Chef, a very yummy Chef, so as you can imagine we looked into working in France, but much to our disappointment we are too old (you have to be 28 years or younger). We are the ripe old age of 33 this year!!!!!!!!<br>
<br>
We discovered that if you run your own business you can live there, so we started to think of all the fantastical businesses we could start up in a country we have never visited, nor speak the language. Bed & Breakfast, this would be perfect Ross can run the kitchen and I could run the front!! Now we just needed to find the right house in the right location. We bought books on how to set up Gites (french word for cottage), how to set up B & B in France. I even purchased all of the lovely books with gorgeous pictures by Vicki Archer just because I couldn't get enough of France, France and more France!!!!<br>

<br>
I found and followed all of the Blogs that were about Australians living in France. I wrote to all of them to ask questions, hoping that they would tell me to come and stay with them in their beautiful French Maisons (house). But no such offers?<br>
<br>
I have not made it to France yet so I decided to start a French fund. My theory is instead of buying coffee at a cafe I will save my coffee money for my plane ticket to France. So far it hasn't been going great because I love my cafe coffee, but this post has revitalized my vision and from this post on wards I will commit to saving my coffee money for my French fund. Please follow me and keep me accountable on my French fund journey by following me <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=QuirkyComforts&loc=en_US">here</a><br>
<br>
I have posted some gorgeous photos of all the things that I love about France. Enjoy.<br>

Diagnosis by Dr Quirky.<br>
That's me......a Picker Sister. Well I like to think of myself as a picker sister from another mister. If you have ever watched the USA series with the same title you will know what I'm talking about and if you haven't then just ignore this first paragraph!<br>

Are you a picker sister? Does your heart ache when you look at this old rusty, junky tractor?<br>
<br>
Dr Quirky's top 3 for diagnosing a 'Picker Sister'<br>
<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMCkXVmPY0E03QfT41X-IhlyvztQqpIehUojjHRKnSSQ3PzRll7oHSExKJqA3bEzdAxA4IIVVX6LWvKJ-t_c0DyXNzpyJoX-w3F8TUdvy5IBWy2tDogqIHnIlx-1aHrDbaRPUd0NUoEc/s1600/016-20130610_072234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMCkXVmPY0E03QfT41X-IhlyvztQqpIehUojjHRKnSSQ3PzRll7oHSExKJqA3bEzdAxA4IIVVX6LWvKJ-t_c0DyXNzpyJoX-w3F8TUdvy5IBWy2tDogqIHnIlx-1aHrDbaRPUd0NUoEc/s400/016-20130610_072234.jpg" width="237"></a>1. A money savvy chic (aka. POOR) who scavengers for junk,<br>
2. Finds beauty in restoring, re-purposing or up-cycling the junk,<br>
3. Sells the junk (selling item is not essential to being a picker sister but is definitely a motivator to some picker sisters, ie. me).<br>
<br>
Other definitions - Dumpster Diver, Junk finder, Kerb side stopper , Tip yard hunter, Thrift-er, Op shopper. Please add your definition in comments. Quirky Comforts does not condone Dumpster Diving........unless it is for a good coarse, ie to feed your kids.<br>
<br>
Do you identify with any or all the above? Score 1-3<br>
<br>
<b>Results and Diagnosis by Dr Quirky</b><br>
<br>
1= it is not too late to turn back around and escape from this addictive condition<br>
2= you are well on your way to destructive, irrational behaviors that will lead to deck erosion, garage mutiny, buried dinning table syndrome and complete house take over phenomenon.<br>
3=you are a "Picker Sister"!!!!<br>

Quirky's beginnings.<h2>
</h2>
<div>
So it has been a long time coming and one that I never thought possible................But I have been proven wrong. Good things can happen to those that persevere and wait patiently. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would deserve to have my dreams come true of having my own little vintage up-cycling business and now a real space to work in and create my designs. Every time I enter into my new little creative space, my heart gives a little smile and I think about the process of getting to this stage.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It has been an interesting road to starting my little Quirky Comforts business. I was never taught to strive for great things, I think my world taught me to accept mediocre and it still does. That it is OK to settle, to make do with the life that you have been dealt. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being brought up in a white middle class society, it was expected that I would go to university and get a good job. That was it!!! Can you believe it!!!!!? Is that it.............!!!? Are you serious!!!!!!!!!!!??? That can't be it???.................................................................</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All through high school I progressed as an artist, going to drawing classes after school with my art teacher, staying up late into the night perfecting my art projects, getting straight A+'s in Art class and in the end believing that I would end up in Art College. But it did not happen this way. After one rejection I succumbed to my worldly view of mediocre and settled. I went to University to do a good little degree in Nursing. I worked as a Nurse for 5 years but my heart was never in it, I always felt like a fake! I went and did my Masters in Midwifery, I really liked this new challenge and loved helping Women through their pregnancy, birthing and after, but still it was the wrong fit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I started to get an inner unsettled feeling and a big wake up call came when I injured my back at work. For anyone who has ever suffered chronic back pain you will understand the grief and inner turmoil you go through trying to get a diagnosis but having to continue to work in pain to keep your job and provide for your family. Ignoring the wake up call, my back eventually came good after having to have surgery.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had my Son in 2008 which was another really big wake up call for me. I wanted to set a good example for him. I wanted him to follow his dreams, to do what he was passionate about and yet I was not following my own inner passions. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The final wake up call came when I injured my back again, and again had to have surgery. Just before returning to work again my Appendix went and I had to have surgery, then they discovered Endometriosis near my bowel and I had to have more surgery all in the same year. I finally had to confront the reality that I really was not made to be a midwife!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After having my Son I was only working part time and so out of needing to be thrifty I started making my own home decor, from redoing old lampshades, to finding old material at Op shops to make cushions from, to discovering thrown away chairs on the Kerbside and giving them new life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Throughout this time from having all of the pain and surgeries and inner turmoil, I suffered through depression. Just as most people who have gone through depression would say, it is like a deep dark hole that is very hard to get out of. Impossible to get out of alone, that is for sure. I believe God gave me the strength to ask for help and start the long hard process of healing. Designing and creating became a saving grace for me. When I am in the zone of designing and making pieces all anxiety and fears fade away!!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Friends and Family started to request custom made items for their home and I started selling at markets occasionally. I only ever considered it to be a hobby but decided to get a ABN and name it. I was standing in the shower one afternoon when the name 'Quirky Comforts' came into my mind. Straight from the gates of heaven it felt like and so there was no question in my mind that this would be the name of my little home furnishings business.<br />

<div>
Piece by piece and item by item it has started to sink in that 'Quirky Comforts' can become a reality and I can make it into a successful business. Who knows where the road ahead will be for me and Quirky Comforts all I know is that God has given me this inner passion and dream for a reason and I need to follow and trust in that.</div>
