For this week’s challenge I decided to share a few photos I’ve taken round the house. My house is old, a lot of my furniture is old enough to have become fashionable again and I like antiques and old things generally so I decided to try to give my pictures a retro twist.
Cottage circa 1915
The Mid Century Living Room
I love my glass etched Mexican on the sliding door, the buffet that belonged to David’s parents and the china cabinet we bought to match it. Many of my ornaments are family things and others were gifts so of course they are all priceless.
Retro style in the living room if you ignore the modern TV.

Two variations of the same room.
Bedroom with books

In the Garden
Not as old as it looks.Garden shed may have been an old apple pickers hut.
Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.
