I’ve spent the last 4 months pouring everything in to this little project ~ @dorsetstreet. Currently a cellar door selling natural wines & @garageproject beer, a morning coffee offering selling @peoplescoffeenz as well as some beautiful products from the likes of @boo.ceramics, and my @thefernmarkcompany design office. Soon to be an inner city winery and home to a whole lot more creative projects. . . #dorsetstreet #dorsetstreetwinery #personalproject #passionproject 📸 by @nayhauss (at Christchurch, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDgcvZlkSE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k2zcu2rsjj28

Day 35 of Dorset Street. It’s been exhausting but it’s coming along. Decades of old use have been stripped out, patched, repaired and painted. Still plenty to do but the old building is polishing up nicely. More progress at @dorsetstreet ~ . . #17dorsetstreet #dorsetstreet #day35 #urbanwinery #garageproject #innercitywinemakers #naturalwine #livingwine #lofiwine #workinprogress (at Christchurch, New Zealand)
