With only a few hours and limited available hands we set out to create a welcoming and encouraging retreat for a very precious teenage girl, who could do with being showered with beauty and joy.
Arriving again with the trailor in toe we immediately threw ourselves into the cleaning of this once not so loved garage. So engrossed were we in our cleaning that we forgot to take photos, that was until all of the cleaning was done. So here is the garage post our scrubbing.
As with any makeover this one too has its own story to tell. As with all of our makeovers all of the items we provide are either generously donated or lovingly restored. Well just as we were really getting into it we discovered that the bed we had been given was now missing some vital parts. Not deterred we continued with the makeover even making the bed up on the floor believing that we would be able to solve this minor hiccup before the day was through. So off we headed with the bed pieces in the trailor to the nearest hardware store. Having found most of the staff standing around not doing very much we felt sure that someone would assist us with a solution to our dilemma. Unfortunately the staff were neither able to assist us or very helpful. But where better to find a handyman than a hardware store? Long story short we were fortunate enough to find two very generous tradesmen with a ute full of tools who took the time to fix our bed in the carpark of the hareware store.
We hope Jane* loves her room. We hope it is a place she will enjoy bringing her friends, we hope it is a place of safety and security and it is a retreat where she can know that she is treasured, precious and beautiful beyond measure.
Again thank you to all of the wonderful people who continue to support the work of Lotus Interiors through generous donations of homewares, furniture, time and support.
