I've been doing a bit more rearranging in my own house. I popped into my local antiques shop this afternoon and found some lovely things. I got a box for Tim to elevate his screen (looks better than having books propping it up!) and 2 very old wooden tennis rackets to go up in Tim's office. I also bought this lovely corner cabinet to house my blue and white china tea set that Tim's mum gave me. In total I spent only £45 (much cheaper than anything I saw on ebay)!
I decided to rearrange the landing to make the best use of the space and to make it look really pretty and welcoming. I already had the enamel jug and the child's chair was Tim's when he was little. I also had my specially made DVD storage cabinet so it was just a case of relocating the mirror and putting down the new runner from Laura Ashley (cost £45) and the new corner cabinet (£27).

Oops, almost forgot to show you the lovely house sign I had made by this lovely lady. Please do go and visit her store on ebay. I bought a secret garden sign from her to go onto the gate into our veg plot and she has kindly made a new house sign (our current one is looking a bit shabby) for us for £14. It looks wonderful and I can't wait to put it up! :-)
