Sorry for my absence in posting any renovation updates recently . . . We have had a brief break after the wedding, but I am back and well and truely into the swing of things!
A few weeks before the wedding we completed a little side project in the lounge/dining room. There is a weird space on the left of the fireplace with a 35cm step down from the dining space to the lounge room (no steps, just one BIG step) . . . I have rather long legs and the step up is awkward for me! Also if you stepped backwards without looking the drop down would be quite painful! So, we decided to put in a hand railing and tensioned wires to make it a safer and also to define the spaces from dining and lounge.
I assisted in making a custom fit tubular steel hand railing, to accommodate insulated concealed wiring, running from the wall hung TV cabinet (also a custom made piece designed and made by Max and I) above the fireplace, to the powerpoint on the opposite wall. It works perfectly in hiding the wiring and also looks great as a room dividing safety barrier! We are thrilled with how it has turned out.
