I dragged DH around to some antique stores on Friday down Freo way however didn't find anything - a lot of stores that call them selves antique are either second hand or reproduction - I'm thinking a trip back to Tassie might be in order Anyway almost knuckled out my laundry and WIR cabinetry Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - Tiles finally ordered!! 606May 05, 2014 2:07 am Tassie's second hand/antique shops are fantastic, at least they were in 2000, when we were last there.

It looks like DH's spray painting course that he did 23 years ago when he was doing up his VB commodore paid off .......shame the only bit of the VB that got sprayed was the boot <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - Ceiling painting begins :-) :- 609May 05, 2014 8:03 pm VB to porsche there is a nice grade walk in motor vehicle Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - Ceiling painting begins :-) :- 610May 05, 2014 8:38 pm AKB housebythewater Tassie's second hand/antique shops are fantastic, at least they were in 2000, when we were last there.
