We Did a Thing
There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at Adelaide Hills Outdoor Furniture. Along with juggling current jobs, brainstorming new ideas and turning out miscellaneous product, we made the exciting (scary) leap and leased a commercial workshop! It was something that we had discussed for a while, but with no real urgency to move we waited for the perfect opportunity to come along. Just after Easter we were presented with that exact perfect opportunity of a lease becoming available on a workshop in Callington. The space was just what we needed and it was very hard to say no after weighing up the pros and cons. It was always going to be a tricky decision to make considering that this is still our side hustle but it was a risk we were willing to take. We’re very passionate about what we do and this always felt like the next move and who knows what the future holds. Maybe this baby will become more of a main feature instead of side hustle.
The new headquartes for Adelaide Hills Outoor Furniture
In the weeks that we followed, we were tasked with moving all of our equipment and machinery from the old location to the new and it wasn’t the best timing with winter on it’s way. We were very thankful to have the help of some friends and family to help us move everything across. It’s still a work in process and it will be sometime before we are fully up and running but we have already started the transition. Scott has taken 6 weeks annual leave from his 9-5 but has somehow ended up trading that for full days at AHOF (Adelaide Hills Outdoor Furniture). So much for taking some time off!
We’re hoping to have our space set up as a hybrid workshop/showroom so we can have customers visit us to see what we have in stock and offer consulting for all custom made projects. This will work in conjunction with the scheduler we have on our website as the staffed hours will vary. For anyone passing through the Callington area, if our sign is up out the front, then we’re open for business. Pop in, say hello, have a look at what stock we have on display (will vary) and see how we can help you get started on your next furniture project.
If the sign is out, we’re in :)
Once have fully moved over and have everything up and running, we’ll be looking at hosting an open day. It’ll a great opportunity for us to meet all of our lovely followers and a great day out supporting a local Adelaide business. We’ll be sure to update everyone via Facebook and Instagram about an open day but in the meantime, feel free to schedule an appointment to come and see what we’re all about. We may be outdoor furniture by name but remember, we also offer indoor furniture, chopping boards and other handmade timber products.
