Picture Wall

Finally got around to putting up our picture frames on the dining room wall.

They have been sitting in the understairs cupboard for months now while we decided on the pictures and orientation of each one.

This was something I saw in a bar in London quite a few years ago. That was all different frame shapes and sizes though and I always wanted to do it in the house. We've gone for a travel theme initially, though I suspect this will change over time.

Overall I'm happy with how it worked out, may even add an additional row of pictures below at a later stage.

Nursery mirror

So apparently we're going to be having a baby soon, so we've started getting the nursery ready for the impending arrival of Peanut.

I know there haven't been many posts recently, this will soon be rectified. Without further ado, we thought it would be good if Peanut could see him/herself so I've put in a mirror.

It's still hanging 2 days later so I must have done something right!

Dining room dresser

Finally found a dresser that would fit into our 3 foot alcove next to the chimney in the dining room. More storage space!

Fresh produce

Veggie box is still reaping crop going into autumn. Carrots are a bit deformed but the beans are going wild!

Harvesting the crop

Here's a few pics of the veggies that have grown in the garden. Peas will be eaten tonight, though there's probably only enough for one person (note to self: sow more next year). The courgettes will be made inti fritters tonight. The spiky cucumber will need to grow a bit more. The beans still have a long way to go.

Peas

Veggie garden is starting to reap rewards.

Vegetable garden

Just posting a few pics to show how the veggie patch is coming along. Lettuce needs to be eaten as something is eating it! Tomatoes are coming along well. Everything else is still growing.
