I am slowly getting back up and running after our shipment arrived last week (I promise to share loads more very soon!) Of course going from 10 suitcases plus beds and a tv on a cardboard box to a shipping crate full of boxes is exciting, but it has suddenly presented a new problem……

Joining The Dine In Kitchen Trend? Bring The Table!
Islands? Be gone! Breakfast Room? Yawn, yawn. How last millennium! Open Concept Kitchen? Not Good enough. We want more. We want a DINE IN Kitchen. So, we’ve moved in. (Well, not us. We are still living like fugitives with nothing more than a couple beds and the clothes on our backs) but the…
