Closing the front opening My house is front opening and had one MASSIVE door. This is just silly – even titanium hinges are going to be compromised with 2 kilos of MDF board hanging off them. I plan on having 4 separate doors on separate hinges. This also means I can finish each room individually […]
My Big Arse Island My main feature for my kitchen was always going to be as big an island as I could fit, and it also had to have a breakfast bar so I could make some cool industrial bar stools to go under it =) I built the island out of basswood and birchwood […]
Oh yes I’m catching up! So many things to catch up on with the progress of the kitchen but I need to do it so I can get on to posting a couple of tutorials. I can’t do things out of order it’s just one of those peculiar things that I have to deal with […]
The first part I decided on One thing I have never had in a kitchen is somewhere for the annoying garbage can to hide and I still don’t! I do have hidden recycle and organic matter bins but still have to have a bin for things like soft plastic and general rubbish. I also like […]

I will be doing a contemporary farmhouse meets rustic industrial meets shabby meets moroccan meets boho meets glam kinda style. I like a mish mash of styles – hence the name. I […]
Capacious Colonial gets a much needed colour change! Quite a bit actually! I will break this up into a few posts because I’m guessing I won’t get it all done right NOW. Clearly it would be better if I updated more often but I had a few technical issues with the blog and that gave […]
My Capacious Colonial – my 1-12 scale journey begins I spent quite about 6 months looking for a sensibly priced second-hand 1-12 scale dollhouse. Here in Australia, it’s not as easy to get “real” second-hand houses. The chances of finding one in an op shop were VERY slim. They are mostly kiddy toy style ones […]
