We are a husband and wife team creating original paintings and handmade furniture with a difference. Our specialty is finding interesting vintage frames and salvaged buildings products. Along the way we often find all sorts of treasures to give a revamp too.
We live in Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, just minutes from beautiful beaches, wineries, restaurants and boutique shopping centers, we live in an original old cottage which has lots of history and character and I might add lots of repairs to be done too! The photos "B, C & D" show our historic "Males Cottage" home.
Photo "A" is Tony's work in progress...hmmmm?? Tony in his former life was a bricklayer/stonemason as you can see by the beautiful limestone work on the bottom of the cubby. The building was originally going to be our daughter Ellie's cubby house, she is now 21 and ready to leave home! I'm trying to claim "Ellie's Cubby" as an art studio, don't you think it would be perfect!
Below are my companions Guss and Bella who never question what I'm doing or demand anything from me (0nly food and walks) they just give me their unconditional love and affection"
Tony and I have both worked fulltime building our new business and life style for approximately 10 years, we sell at Craft Markets, Retails Outlets, Tony's workshop and of course through the Internet. We are both self taught and are absouletly loving our new change of life style.
