Had a bit of a change around since the New Year!
It is interesting how you continue to do things the same old way without questioning why you did it in a certain way originally and whether it still works as well. This was well illustrated recently when I noticed how our coats always hung over the shoe rack so that when you looked for your shoes you had to go rummaging through the jackets that draped all over them…
So why was that? Then I remembered three small boys with school coats and hats who couldn't reach. So where were those small boys now?!
Time to change!
Coat hooks were removed, two were broken anyway.....we were going to get around to it...eventually! New hooks bought, Coat rack moved to a more suitable higher area, shoe rack at the base, free of trailing coat hems....
Sideboard bought (been saving!) Drawers filled with hats, scarves and gloves (in that order) Large cupboards: toys and games for visiting children, Small cupboard: umbrellas, kagoules etc
I keep stroking the woodgrain as I walk by....
The chair can be grabbed and used if we need it for extra people dropping in for coffee. At Christmas. it can still be our Chrsitmas tree space! (Yeah, thought it through...so that's what wakeful nights are all about then!
This is the wallhanging given to us by a special lady this Christmas! It goes perfectly with our theme and replaces a smaller,rather sad, faded and old one which I needed a reason to remove. It will be repurposed into something else when I get inspired!
It is twinkly with small mirrrors and works well with the mirror style curtains I made for the front door.
So times have moved on and now so is the decor, little by little!
