The Dining Room - before and after

This is by far the biggest transformation I've ever seen in this house within a 24hour window.



before...

To be fair, it doesn't look to bad from this before picture. But in real life the red synthetic carpet was not our taste, the cream walls were patchy and it wasn't a room you'd spend any time in.

My stag head is now ever so proud, painted white and overlooking the new dining furniture (table £180 from Ikea, chairs £22 in the clearance sale).

Now it's a beautiful dining space to eat the evening meals in, and it's wonderful to walk into this room first when you come in through the front door.  I've seen the rug I want to get to put the dining furniture on, so watch this space to see what I've bought.


In other news my parents now have Skype and Chris' best friends are expecting a baby. The world gets scarier all the time.  I'll go hide under my new dining table.
