Every piece of furniture art and plants here have been carefully chosen and define a time and place and all the people related to that time. The Fred Ward furnituire is in our small Melb flat designed by Fredrick Romberg at the time when Ward was starting out and has links to the begginings of moderne design in Melbourne just before during and after the war. I scour the auctions and markets [not too seriously or too obsessively] Links to early modernism are still affordable and as you know still emerge in op shops and cheap sales. I love finding something and then researching its origins and seeing how it fits into the story.George Biron https://www.blogger.com/profile/03592491708632830206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979096608832085821.post-83664655760882524802011-03-11T12:52:04.051+11:002011-03-11T12:52:04.051+11:00Hello George- thanks for stopping by. I haven'...Hello George- thanks for stopping by. I haven't put up our latest ebay find- a beautiful dresser with a mirror that matches this. I think we now have nearly all our furniture sorted- the hut isn't very large! Having become a Fred Ward fan in the last year, I've read quite a bit. These pieces are Tasmanian myrtle, although he did also make furniture in Queensland maple. These pieces have a stain that does make them look a slightly different colour to myrtle. I will have to come and visit Sunnybrae restaurant to see your dining table- and have lunch. I have been meaning to ever since I bought Stephanie's book "A shared table" and saw your recipe for nokedli. My mother is Hungarian and I have very fond memories of helping her and my grandmother cook them.Marian Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611229357228521510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979096608832085821.post-5193228442758225162011-03-11T12:23:11.726+11:002011-03-11T12:23:11.726+11:00Hi I love the progress shots, Also a fan of Fred W...Hi I love the progress shots, Also a fan of Fred Wards and have a few bits of his work. I think the wood is Queensland Maple? I could be wrong but the tables here in the restaurant dining room are Myrtle Beech made from a log leftover at our local mill for about 50 years and look a bit different to the Myer Heritage range.George Biron https://www.blogger.com/profile/03592491708632830206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979096608832085821.post-60538714069334613732011-02-21T14:29:02.465+11:002011-02-21T14:29:02.465+11:00Oops!

Sorry :-) Ah the challenges of trying to keep a puppy and older dog 'quiet' after an operation, when all they want to do is hurtle around the yard... hope Claudia is back to normal soon. The dogs have been sleeping inside here this week, as the rain has been pelting in from the east instead of the usual south-west, leaving their sleeping area very wet.Susan Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076266839943138292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979096608832085821.post-88978259037812857632011-02-21T14:27:07.379+11:002011-02-21T14:27:07.379+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Susan Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076266839943138292noreply@blogger.com
