Stephanie is from Australia where they call things like this big, busted up and brown piece of furniture “rubbish” instead of “a hunk-o-junk,” like us Americans. Or maybe that’s just me. Still, Americans typically don’t say the word “rubbish,” which is a shame. It’s a fun word. I’m going to start worming it in to my daily conversations: “Hi sis, what’s new today? Oh, the baby is sick? What a fat load of rubbish!” I might have to work on it.
See the fabulous transformation up close on Stephanie’s blog Stephlee Photography.
