So as you know, I've been making a few little changes to my dining room in between other bits and pieces (and getting a new puppy which has miraculously taken up ALL of my time). I recently removed the gallery wall which of course then starts a whole process of...

First off, thanks so much for all the comments on my post on Wednesday. I knew you guys would have opinions on this topic and I was so pleased to hear from so many with different takes on whether the gallery wall is falling out of favour (or just the ones we see that...

So... I spent a good portion of my weekend buried in baubles, garland and glitter. Which, in my eyes, is not a bad way to spend a weekend. However, going into Christmas decorating with no real clear idea of what I was planning on doing was a little bit of a recipe for...

You may remember me mentioning recently that I'd finally found a new table for the dining room. While the heavy T style table had served me well for many years, it felt too heavy and too wide for the room. I wanted something brighter and lighter for the space. And...

It's been something that I've been considering now for a little while. I bought my current dining table nearly 10 years ago and at that time, I wanted something quite contemporary and sturdy looking. It was probably one of the first "real proper adult furniture"...

It was all the way back in March that I told you that due to the Decorating Domino Effect, I was no longer satisfied with the gallery wall in my dining room. Now, this wall has gone through a million and one iterations and I see no reason why that's ever going to...

I never really considered myself a person who changes their home according to seasons - it all sort of happens organically. In the winter, my white faux throw goes on the bed, simply because it's difficult keeping an older home warm and my feet get cold. In the...

And Kimberly saw the new light that she had hung and behold, it was very good.Since time began, I have wanted a new light in my dining room. Not just a replacement of the pendant light already there, but one that actually sat directly above the dining table. Okay, it...

Well, we're merely hours now away from Christmas and goodness, hasn't it been a CAHRAYZEE month? I feel like it's gone by in a blur so I'm looking forward so much to a few days with Wayne and the kitties, relaxing with warm drinks, nice cocktails, lots of Christmas...

So with Christmas now just over a week away (OMG How did that happen?!?!), there is pretty much no DIY going on in this house at all - it's all systems go to get stuff bought, wrapped and organised plus the obligatory mince-pie making, carol listening/singing along,...

Ever since I decided that the wall in my dining room needed some help, I've been on the search for the perfect console table for the space.  I've weighed up my options along with you lovely peeps' suggestions and finally decided I was looking for something with...

Remember back in April when I said I was pretty much satisfied with this room? AHAHAHA!! Yeah, I am never done, I don't even know why I bother saying it anymore.I kept seeing all these amazing dining rooms all over blogland... Here are two of my favourites from two of...

So adventures continue in the Chinese Chippendale chair drama.  I swear I've either bought or sold every one the UK has to offer.  I think I've actually had a total of 12 now at some time or other - ok, so maybe not EVERY one but it feels that way.It was...

** please do not contact me about these chairs, they were sold in 2013** First off, thanks for all the lovely comments about my damn-near-finished dining room.  Big smoochie kisses for all the love! :) Now, this is a bit of a weird post for me but if you were...
