Australian Handyman - July 2018

48 JULY 2018 Australian Handyman

G

eraldine once proudly spent

her Saturdays cooking

pancakes for her visiting

grandson, Adam, in the kitchen she

had renovated herself. Half a century

later, that little boy has all grown up.

Today, he and his wife, Elodie, own

the house. hey also love to spend

time cooking in the kitchen with

their son – and enjoy regular visits

from Great Grandma Geraldine.

A lot had changed in 50 years, but

not the kitchen. Its once-groov y

orange and yellow loral wallpapered

ceiling, faded cabinets and

impractical bench spaces had had

their day. It was time for Barry Du

Bois and he Living Room team to

come to the rescue and launch this

time capsule into the future. ▶
