An Unexpected Purchase

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we were running out of toy storage. However, a trip to our local junk yard provided the perfect solution.

We had been keeping a look out for a dresser since moving. Although, I have quietly coveted having dresser for years, there was nowhere to put one in our last house. Our long (and I mean very long!!) term plan is to put it in the kitchen once the extension is complete. At the moment, it is a lovely shade of brown, you can only open the cupboards by using the key and the drawer pull on the far left has broken! 

In the meantime, it fits perfectly in the dining room and provides some much needed extra storage for Sprout’s toys.

 Have you got a piece of furniture that you'd love to get your hands on?

Dining Room Reveal!!

You’ll remember from Sprout’s ‘New’ House Part 1 that our dining room started off looking like this.....

....before it swiftly became standing room only!! So my mission over half term was to get the dining room table up and running so we could stop picnicking in the sitting room!

It had to get so much worse..... 

........before it was got better, but I 

unpacked,

amalgamated,

recycled,

AND

ruthlessly chucked out

until our dining room looked like this!

The table is up, the chairs unstacked, my favourite mirror is hung…… and finally we can sit down and enjoy our meals!!

P.S It’s now packed to the rafters in the boiler room instead!!......
