Days Like These!

Last week St. Ives, this week the chill out room! No lovely days out for me today, no posh nosh over a harbour view! Instead we have been digging through the clutter stacked 6 foot high in our garden room. It is supposed to be this tranquil place where you can sit, drink latte, listen to music, read a book, knit... but a leaky roof meant we had to strip out the loft and all the boxes had to go somewhere. But there was a glimmer of hope for my lovely room when my husband decided it would be nice to have our christmas dinner in there.
So the day has been spent putting some of the clutter back up in the loft, taking some of the reusable items to the charity shop and binning the real junk. The result? A clearer room which you can at least sit in. I have had to give in and agree to a television in there which was never the plan. I should explain that this part of the house is an extension which I designed before I met my husband and so I always knew how I wanted it, a sort of little retreat, a doorway to my beautiful garden. But I guess we all have to evolve and grow and change is often a good thing. I certainly hadn't imagined my lovely room home to a full size rocking horse, but I hadn't imagined children in the picture at the time! I wouldn't be without my husband, children or the rocking horse! I could live without the second tv however! Will post some pictures when we have cleaned and added those finishing touches!
