My favourite piece of Elizabethan furniture!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 9 Sep

I mentioned that we had visited Hardwick Hall, a country pile built by Bess of Hardwick in the 16th century and decked out with the best of everything. It is notable for its large collection of vast tapestries among other things,...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 14 Aug

I promised to tell you more about the wardrobe… I wanted a small wardrobe or something to put in one of the bedrooms of my place in Wales. Almost all the furniture is either Victorian or early 20th century, much of it is the...

A very specialist occupation

I’m constantly surprised at the range of services people offer and the things clients hire them to do that they could easily do themselves – things like assembling flat-pack furniture for example. Yesterday we saw a delivery van...

Rearranging Again

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2575) 12 Nov 24

Well, I guess I am staying up late, rearranging the living room again. I change it up about once a month. I wish I could just get it the way I like and be done with it. I am just always trying to find a way to make my house look...

An interesting book case

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 3 Oct 24

The place we stayed in last weekend had a very 'sea' theme and this bookshelf was very interesting - shaped like a boat. It added a nice touch to the stay. Have you ever seen an interesting bookshelf that caught your attention...

Last night's dream. (18/5/2024)

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 18 May 24

In last night's dream I dreamt I had a MASSIVE bedroom, and it had a kind of extra bit, like a smaller kind of boxy bit where the door was. I'll draw you a diagram (above, sorry it's not very good!) Anyway, I was moving...

Would you put this in your house?

Melanie Marie @Melanie_Marie (2448) • St. Clair, Michigan 12 Apr 24

I’ve always wanted to do this, for years and years and years. As some of you may know, I’ve been working, and saving, for appliances and furniture for my own place. I already have the place, but it’s completely empty. No moving...

Last night's strange dream.

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 2 Apr 24

So, I had another really strange dream last night. I dreamt that my step-dad had changed the furniture round in the living room. There were bits of iron fence inbetween the chairs for some reason. (And we don't even have chairs in...

We ordered a set of office tables for our home office. The set included two L-shaped desks, one for me and one for my husband, as well as a bookcase with sliding glass and wood paneled doors. It's like a hutch and a bookcase had a...

Today I will try

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 30 Jul 23

I am gearing up to have a yard sale in a month. Today I will try to move the computer to a different desk. I have way too many desks and I really like the wooden one that has a leather top. I will turn the desk so I can look out...

An unexpected bonus

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 30 Jun 23

Last weekend the local council organised a village litter-pick, and since we were around and have missed the event the last couple of times they’ve organised one, I felt obliged to go along. Turned out it was just as well I did as...

The 'after' photo

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 23 May 23

This is the chair I wrote about the other day, that was in need of renovation. I haven’t done a really thorough job I’m afraid, I mainly just cleaned up the wooden parts and then re-covered the seat, adding a layer of...

The latest renovation project

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 19 May 23

I seem to have a never-ending stream of renovation projects of one sort or another. I’m certainly no expert and I don’t really have the patience to do the job as it should ideally be done, but on the other hand I can’t bear to...
