Using the original materials

When we demolished the original rear cabin we decided we'd try to reuse as much as possible. Unfortunately most of the wood was gone because of the woodworm, luckily not the sliding doors wich we  refurbished and now use, see also in an earlier blog.
Marble and tiles were in reasonable condition, except where painted by previous owners.
There was a tiny toiletroom with beautiful bathroom tiles, all screwed because in those days there was no adhesive material that could absorb the movements of the ship so the tiles would brake.
These tiles are now used by us in the kitchen and although we glue them now they all get a screw as that is how it should be.
On the other side of this wall, at the top of the cabinet, we will try to use the marbleslabs. If it works a picture and message will follow.
