A wooden bench has been

bolted to the wall and an old

headboard serves as the

backrest. The marine ply

angel wings were custom

made by a friend. “I have

various angel wings around

my house; they provide me

with a sense of comfort and

fun,” says Rosemary.

We love this!

Rosemary added a garage to the side

of the home – mainly for storage – with

a deck on top. She found the old teak

doors at Ross Demolition.

All the right curves

A cement floor was laid in front of the garage;

since the space is used for storage it doesn’t have

to contend with vehicles, only foot traffic.

“I applied an undercoat (Midas Masonry

Primer) and was measuring out neat squares for

the finish when a friend walked by and suggested

I create a pattern instead,” says Rosemary. “So I

took a hosepipe, laid it down and traced curved

lines from north to south across the whole

driveway and then from east to west to cross the

lines and create the curved ‘squares’, before

colouring them in with paint.”

To keep this surface clean, she simply splashes

it with soapy water and then rinses it off.
