Kitchen Sneak Peek

Nesthouse Kitchen Sneak Peek

The Nesthouse kitchen is now finished, so here is a tiny house tiny detail to hopefully whet your appetite!

I suppose it’s a new interpretation of one of my Jonathan Avery kitchens, but this time with the added contrast of natural plywood edge finish to my usual JA Paint colours. I am amazed and flattered to still be getting Kitchen enquiries (6 years after we closed production!!)… but regret to say that JA Kitchens are ONLY available as part of a Nesthouse from Tiny House Scotland.

I am now moving on to the larder storage area and under stair storage/furniture modules. Not far now!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

New turned beech handle for old shovel - reuse, recycle, woodturning.

Repair and reuse! My favourite shovel was inherited from my Dad and finally snapped the other day after a bit of an accident with the tractor (oops) ! So I got the lathe going and turned a new beech shaft ♻♻ for it. Oiled and fitted with a Jonathan Avery badge - its as good as new and ready to do another 50 years service.

It does take quite an effort to drill out the rivets and extract the shaft sockets from the metalwork…but how much better than just throwing out and spending £30 or whatever on another one? Reduce, reuse, recycle!

I am getting quite practised at this after similarly replacing two garden fork handles recently due to an over-zealous eldest son ( OK, the forks had been left out in the weather all winter!)…but at least this way - an hours’ effort to restore something means there is a greater incentive to look after it properly!
