I think this is so clever a wall hanging bureau & shelves . It looks neat & minimal the perfect mid century office at home. Easy to put up too, no instructions needed, it just needs a couple of plants & books on the adjustable shelves & your ready to go to work . #homeoffice #midcentury #notfastfurniture #teakfurniture #teakbureaudesk #woodendhelves #retrofurniture #design#minimalism #styleandpurpose #secondhand

Pine computer table , with all the drawers & compartments you need / needed . Like the hi-Fi unit I’m trying to think of new uses for it ?? It’s a solid piece of furniture looking for a new life . Jigsaw table ? Slide it away when your are not doing it ? Crafting desk ? Lots of storage . It would look good painted too. #notfastfurniture #pinefurniture #computerdesk #furnituredesign #revampedfurniture #recycledfurniture #pinterstideas #thinkoutsidethebox #jigsaws #crafting #sewing #stneots #smallbusiness

I’ve been inspired by my daughter Lilly taking over @buttonknitstneots & have finally sorted out my ribbon I bought from auction nearly a year ago & popped it on an old painted bookcase shoe rack which works a treat . Also found some fancy trim in a box & trimmed by lamp so it’s a revamped lamp . It’s also that time of year for little indoor projects , I love making random bits , so for all your crafting needs check out button knit in st. Neots , it’s a lovely shop full of so much colourful wool , patterns , crochet rings!! Sewing bits , craft kits & a funny selection of cards . Visit Lilly living her dream of owning her own haberdashery, super proud of her 💚💚💚#justdoit #thatssewlilly #liveyourdream #dreamsareplans #haberdashery #wool #knitting #crochet #craft #sewingroom #bookcase #shoerack #vintagefurniture #notfastfurniture #recycle #reuse #ribbon #projects #shoplocal #stneots
