Vintage writing bureau / desk (Rochester ME1)
A useful, cute writing desk we used in our kitchen diner with the view to restore it but changed our room plan so no longer fits. If you are looking for a small project l would say it needs a fresh back board and drawer board, and a few tweeks to make repair/correct, and wax/polish refresh. Overall, it could be REALLY pretty again. No sanding or paint stripping needed :-) It is heavy so I think the main structure is oak. I have seen some like this with a small backboard and open shelves under (fits DVDs and shoes!) First to come to collect, collects! Easy parking at our front door, no steps. Measures 29.5”(75cm) wide x 38” (96cm) high x 14” (36cm) deep (at feet lid closed) x 22” (56cm) deep (lid open). Note bureau only, not the folding chair or oil lamp, just to show scale. We never had a key, but a usual type.

Double Futon Cover+cushion covers (Rochester ME1)
A double Futon Cover in a retro-style lime green plus 2 large matching cushion covers by the fabulous Futon Company, l believe made in 2012 (according to the futon wood frame). This was kindly Freecycled to us as a spare but we don’t use it. We hope someone else can for their sofa or futon. All zips work well. It has been washed twice this summer so it is super clean. It does have some snagging throughout but no rips or tears so actually still quite useful. No material label but due to it’s weight and minimal shine, it is likely a mix of natural cotton and some man-made other. Easy parking at our front door to collect. I will recycle it if no one wants it 😇

Double Duck Feather Cotton Topper (Rochester ME1)
Gifted
An ultra thick double duvet style topper by Northern Nights, Seattle, US of A, kindly Freecycled to us last winter which we used with a mattress topper and sheet on top of it and it was extremely cosy. We have since replaced with our own and are now passing on. I don’t know how old it is or how clean but some duck feathers are escaping. We just put it inside a duvet cover first to solve it. Tough to let it go as it is SO warm. All natural materials from way back when…

“Dusty pink” large bouncy Pouffe (Rochester ME1)
Gifted
A fun comfy, springy spare seat for a corner window or reading nook (or footstool) with 4 strong black moulded feet screwed in underneath. We used it in our lounge as a spare seat by the window as it is has extra height to see out :-))) We always had it covered. It was Freecycled to us from a local neighbour last year or so ago so we don’t know much more about it. We have changed our room around now so we hope someone else can enjoy it now. Our guests often made it their seat of choice, maybe the radiator or the view, or because it is bouncy, we don’t know…

2 Mixer Sink Taps and Pop Up Plugs (Rochester ME1)
Gifted
2 used chrome mixer sink taps, in useable condition but need a scrub. 2 unused, new (+ boxed) pop-up waste plugs maybe of interest to you depending on your sink hole size (too big for ours ;-)
