Portugal Muse Ep5 – Thrifting Ercol Vintage Furniture, Waterfall Walk and Mulled Wine Apple Crumble

In this week’s episode we thrift Ercol Vintage Furniture online using Facebook Marketplace. I make do and mend with an old linen bed throw, reusing it to make under the kitchen counter curtains. Brân and Gruff enjoy the Pedra Ferida waterfall walk starting at Louçainha river beach. Things start looking a bit festive in the kitchen as we make Mulled Wine Apple Crumble.

  1. Aaw, babi Mam 💕 dwisho mynd allan! 🐶 We have brought my Mum's Ercol dining chairs out with us here. Mum bought them in the 60's from Roger Williams Furniture in Pwllheli (where I'm actually from ☺️) Loving the kitchen upgrade and enjoy seeing you looking more relaxed in front of the camera! Gwych!!! 😍 xx

  2. Wow, the table and dresser were a fantastic find and look perfect in your space. The crumble looked very tasty too! I’m not a lover of red wine, do you think an unsweetened grape juice or apple juice would work as a replacement? It looked all gooey and delish though! Tfs, Laura ❤️

  6. I love Ercol furniture. We even see it for sale here in New Zealand on 2nd hand sites from time to time. S glad you got a great bargain. All you need now is some Portmeirion Ceramics for the dresser. I have a great collection of Portmeirion in my kitchen). It is amazing what a difference the curtain made in the kitchen, good work!! Oh thanks for the apple crumble recipe. I am going to make that as soon as i get some red wine. I enjoyed your video, thank you.

  9. Hard to believe that the heat you experienced this summer has been replaced by such incredible autumnal weather. Lovely to see so many fungi popping up too. Congratulations on finding your bargain dining room furniture, and thanks for the apple crumble recipe, which looked amazing. If I close my eyes and concentrate I can almost smell the aroma of that warm mulled wine… 😋 Diolch yn fawr!

  10. Well done with the table, chairs and dresser – they look beautiful. I like your apple crumble recipe. What kind of apples do you use? I find it hard to get apples here in Portugal that have the right flavour and texture for baking.

  12. I’m so happy for you! Your kitchen looks beautiful the colour of the curtains goes great with the dark wood. I’m like you always looking how to save but always looking for quality . Here in Australia we also have Marketplace and also Gumtree. Really enjoy your videos.

YOU HAVE THE SAME BERNINA THAT I HAVE HAD FOR OVER 20 YEARS…BUT, MINE, THE MOTOR HAS GONE DEAD ON IT…BUT, I STILL HAVE IT, IN CASE THERE'S A CHANCE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR…IT'S A GREAT SEWING MACHINE & DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT…GREAT GINGHAM PLAID TO GO WITH ALL IN THE KITCHEN AND LOVELY SCENERY…ALL THE BEST…🙏🏻;)

  27. beautiful furniture but the story is even better. im surprised there arent tons of 2nd hand shops, ost of the houses i see for sale have all furniture left behind, i had the idea they would be given to charities to be sold…wonder if they are just thrown away in the recycle centers like here in the netherlands…very happy for you.

  28. Wow Awen! That was certainly your lucky day! Not just a dining table and chairs, but a matching dresser built close to where you were born, bought from a Welsh lady. It doesn't get much better than that. Christmas is going to be lovely in your home❤❤ I am going to try that Apple crumble recipe. It looks delicious😊

  29. What an amazing find, anything Ercol costs a lot more here. Definitely serendipity the furniture knew where it belonged❤️ I was taught on a Bernini at school they’re wonderful machines. The crumble looked mouthwatering 😍

  32. I'm so glad you were able to get the table and chairs as well as the cupboard and fit everything in your cars. The chairs are stunning. You made me smile when you upcycled the sheet to make the little curtains. They look great.

  34. Lovely river beacg, Louçainha, this time of year. Gorgeous, really Ho boi, that mountain water must be delicious during the brutal summer. So beautiful with your hamsum doggies running & running and enjoying the park & trails. Were there any nice🍄gifts from the forest you were able to take home?

  35. Oh, my goodness, what a blessing from the universe! Your home was meant to rehone the dining & cupboard set as they fit perfectly in your house and its vibe!!! I sure ferl your youtube channel got up and running just in time to capture the lovely things coming to make your homelier and cozier❣ 🤗

  39. Hello Awen and Dave!! Congratulations on the great furniture find. It looks lovely in your kitchen, and the curtains also. I just love finding really good bargains, repurposing things and also passing on things when I no longer need them to someone who is as excited to get them as you were to find the furniture.
    You live in a beautiful area. The river walk was gorgeous and watching the dogs play made me smile.
