Corner of my home

I don't usually like to show of bits of my house. Mainly because we are only renting and i hate everything about it lol. It's ugly, the colour scheme is terrible, and it's just so not "me". If i had a choice we would live in a lovely weather board home, on a big block of land with plenty of windows, and nooks and character. And plenty of trees and a nice little veranda out the back.
But for now we live in a dingy 70's brick house, that is falling apart at the seams and with a tiny kitchen, ugly curtains and absolutely no visual appeal whatsoever. However i just had to show of this.

It's my new dining table. I brought it at the salvo's for $50. It was originally a yucky brown laminate colour, but i loved the detail on the legs, and the size was perfect. SO i took it home, gathered up a few old chairs and painted the whole lot white. And Voila! We have a dining setting. We have never had one that we can all sit at before. We do have a round dining table, but it was too big, and never fitted anywhere. But now we can all have dinner together. And we can have visitors over and enjoy proper adult meals without balancing plates on our knees in front of the telly.

Koby loves it, I'm sure the novelty will wear off though.

disclaimer: i apologize for the bad pictures, my dingy kitchen gets no direct natural light, and only has one horrible fluro light on the roof. Terrible photo taking conditions...

on another note, i made this dress the other day. It was originally a round tablecloth. It will be appearing in my store later today.
