The Old, Dutch Warehouse (part 2)

The old warehouse is divided in two 'halves.' The left side contained a shop for ship supplies (Dutch: Scheepsbenodigdheden), while the right side was a pub and liquor store (Tapperij & Slijterij). One might guess that this choice of businesses was a bit of tongue-in-cheek by the builder.

We can almost picture a rugged ship's captain buying supplies for his next expedition, and after that also stock some 'drinks' in the shop next to it, to keep himself and his crew 'moisturized.' during the long journeys at sea.

 

 

These images show some items that I added to the ship supplies half of the otherwise empty warehouse.  Again, this is just done for fun and the sake of these pics, cos the warehouse is still stored, hence off limits for a comprehensive decoration.

Note the spiderwebs on the image below. Those are real, not added by me. I guess this spider provides the threads of which dreams of discovery are made!

The Old, Dutch Warehouse

I have, as part of my collection, an extremely old, Dutch warehouse. It's really a unique piece, made by a very skilled and knowledgeable individual, and above all, made with lots of love.

Although the maker will probably forever be unknown, his work has remained as a tribute to the above. Not a day goes by without me enjoying looking at this beauty!

The metal 'half wheel' at the center of this picture is a new, and very recent addition. I added it just for fun, and I think it blends well with the overall 'look' of the warehouse. It's not glued or anything, so it can be removed at all times. That goes for everything I add to these museum pieces; I don't alter, paint, or change anything, just decorate.
