Eames, Scandi-Modern, Play School - take your pick.

Drum Roll.......... At last - the moment we've all been waiting for! Okay, slight exagerration, the moment Phil and I have been waiting for. Yep, the doors have arrived. Well, not all of them - the vermillion red and cobalt blue are still at the powder coaters.


But there's the egg yolk yellow ones, peeking out. Uh huh, primary colours. Reactions so far have been mixed - from the positive:
Emerson: "Great idea. I've been thinking the place could do with some colour." (This from the man whose entire wardrobe is black, bless him).
To the tentative:
Liz: "So it's going to be a Play School house?" (Well no, Liz. Our influences were a bit more Scandi/Eames than Big Ted/Jemima. Although, having said that, there are going to be a couple of - ahem - round windows ...).


Everyone's two cents worth aside, we're feeling pretty darned happy about how they've turned out. Here's Phil doing an in-situ demo of those gorgeously chunky, bright yellow french doors, leading out to the studio. Look at him - that's one happy man. And so he should be - nice design work, hon.
And a big thank you and pats on the back all round to the blokes at Allstar Garage Doors and Gates, Noosaville for taking the job on. It took awhile, but you've done a cracking job with the welding and, in the end, they were well worth waiting for (and I guess we did say we weren't in a hurry).


Say bye for now Big Ted.

Which door will we enter through today? The yellow door.

Fabulous. Love it. Such bravery. Critics be silenced. Without those primary colours the rest of the palate is rendered...well, colourless.

Can't wait to walk through one of the doors in July :)
