In her latest Instagram story, the Australian flag bearer in the 2020 Summer Olympics, Cate Campbell, shared images of a cabinet captioned “Finally finished“. The serene-looking blue and white cabinet looks stunning and, considering Campbell restored the old cabinet herself, we’d say a job well done!
