How much of your wall space is taken up by art? I barely have any wall space left, myself. Seems like I'm in good company though. We've been covering our walls in art for... oh, only about 44,000 years. More recently, art has become an expression of our personalities, and taste.

ILVE H39BCV gas hob, 90cm, stainless steel finish. One wok burner, one medium hob, two small simmer hobs, Central electric barbecue grill.
About 10 years old, $1500 new; has been in storage. Confirmed the 4 igniters and electric element work fine. I'm not 100% certain but I'm fairly sure… View moreILVE H39BCV gas hob, 90cm, stainless steel finish. One wok burner, one medium hob, two small simmer hobs, Central electric barbecue grill.
About 10 years old, $1500 new; has been in storage. Confirmed the 4 igniters and electric element work fine. I'm not 100% certain but I'm fairly sure it is set up for street gas supply (i.e. not LPG bottles, which would require a set of different injector parts, available from ILVE). Comes with a bag of scoria stones for the barbecue unit. Medium hob cap and knob handle missing; can be replaced cheaply enough by phoning an ILVE dealer (e.g. Harvey Norman) or a good gasfitter/plumber.
Free 3-piece lounge suite. A two and a three seater sofa, and a chair. Green, corduroy-ish fabric. A bit worn in places but still presentable, would suit a student flat, rumpus room, or a recover project. I really don't want to have to take them to the tip, but I've run out of room :-(

I loved chatting with Timaru craftsman Duncan Cottle about his beautiful work on this ceiling rose. He sculpted, molded and cast the whole thing by hand, with just trial and error to guide him. How cool is that? I found it so inspiring. Chatting to him made me want to give it a go myself.

He sculpted, molded and cast the whole thing by hand, with just trial and error to guide him. How cool is that? I found it so inspiring. Chatting to him made me want to give it a go myself. I reckon I might start with something a little simpler first, however. Those Acanthus leaves look so good... but also quite difficult! Maybe an art deco rose, to match my 30s house? Anyway, I'd love to hear from anyone else whose created something lovely for their homes from scratch. Drop me a line and let me know what DIY magic you've been up to!
With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?
Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.
New Zealand’s minimum sick leave allowance is one of the lowest in the OECD. In Australia they get 10 days, in most European countries it’s even more.
Should Kiwis be entitled to more sick leave?
