This week was finally the moment we’ve been waiting for — time to install the decorative corbels on the arch! ✨
We had to make a few adjustments to the arch itself first. Nothing ever goes completely smoothly in renovation, but with a bit of grinding down and reshaping, we got it ready. We spray-painted them in “wanna be garage” and everything around. Then came the fun part: installing the corbels.
Of course, it wouldn’t be our renovation if there wasn’t a little chaos too. The plasterboard left dust everywhere — the kind that seems to float forever — but it was worth it. Now, every time I walk past that arch, I feel a little thrill. One more step forward in turning this house into our home.

Well done! What a fantastic addition to your home!
You can’t call yourself a proper DIYer until you’ve asked, “How did dust get on my toothbrush?” Sounds like you’re there!!
Enjoy the moment!

Well, the corbels and your new furniture certainly match beautifully. Since I am a highly modernist Italian/Asian decorator I am learning of the classic styles from you – thanks !

Thank you! I’m glad you like how it all came together. I love the idea of ‘timeless’ — especially when it’s already old and no one can guess when it was made! 😊

I have been through the same kind of renovation and I can see how brilliantly the corbels work.
