Toddling down to Homebase to pick up a swivel chair, as the crappy kitchen chair I have in front of my PC keeps falling apart and depositing me on the floor. Which is not conducive to work.

 

[hovis]

A footstool. (For the breast feeding)

Another one of these:

Sadly the first one got left on the hob and almost burned the whole place down last night. Everything still smells of smoke.

Took me about three evenings and a lot of swearing to put together after work.

Looks great in place of the two old crappy overflowing book shelf and cheapo argos dvd units.

Yeah i love their designs...... if i could afford it i'd probably get all my furniture from there.

Some of the cabinets and cupboards look a bit nautical.

My cat climbs on everything, and she has long fur, so is essentially does the dusting for me.

 

[Biddlybee]

You use your cat as a duster

My Mum turned up at mine today burdened with a whole load of items she'd randomly decided to buy/give me - so I now have a bottle of very expensive Olive Oil she brought back from Italy, new calico curtains and cushions, a new double duvet and Egyptian Cotton bed linen and a very fine antique russian pen and ink drawing which she bought many years ago in Helsinki and which I've long admired

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

we got one of these 2nd hand for the summer house.

 

[moose]

Looks like some sort of medieval weapon

House of Fraser have a Joseph-Joseph designed combo of "cut and carve" and "chop to pot" chopping boards in red for only £13.80 (reduced from £20) in their Blue Cross Sale.

I succumbed to kitchen designer fetishism in Oxford Street the other day.

whats a "cut and carve"?
I got the chop to pot a while ago but the suface scratches really easily so i've not used it much since...

we stayed at my friends this weekend and it's inspired me to sort our place out - I'm looking for a big mirror, some air dry clay to repair and old mirror and a pigeon shaped lamp.

It's a high chair for the baby.

I knew someone who had one, the ability to adjust the sitting height over the years and being able to sit the child at the table with everyone else was the nice thing. I didn't even have enough room for a table to eat at so I never considered one myself but I was impressed with the practicality of it all the same.
