Upcycling With a Capital U

 This is serious upcycling by Manoteca in Italy. This desk made from doors and I love the clever way they have made pockets of leather inside the door panels. All finished with the most gorgeous vintage hardware. The kitchen unit below is equally ingenious. I could happily live with either piece.

Looking For The Sun

the view from my window
Summer seems to have sailed past the UK. I feel lucky though that the view out of my window always satisfies even if the sun isn't there.
