We are moving house and have quite a few bits and pieces for sale as we are significantly downsizing!

- Harvey Norman Hogan L Shaped couch + Arm Chair, denim blue. Purchased for close to $3000 for both in February this year, scotchgaurded immediately - barely used it as we shut off the lounge we had placed it whilst we renovated the house. $2000ono.

- Glass dining room table and 4x blue dining chairs (chairs are from Freedom Furniture). $275ono.

- Asko Condenser Dryer - small crack on front by the contender compartment and some rust of the top but does not affect use and is otherwise in good working condition. Is quite a large dryer and fits two of my normal loads of laundry in it. $200ono.

- 2x brand new hanging pendants - purchased 4 originally, used two in our living room and the other two remain unopened. These are gorgeous and make a real statement. $60 for both. (Photos show a close up and how we used them in our living room).
