Dining room fix and trix


After the school holidays, it was nice to tidy up a bit and reclaim the dining room lol 
Too many toys had invaded my space...☺ 


So nice with a clean room!


My antique Swedish wooden tray on top of my vintage Swedish runner.
Look at the details in the weave - amazing craftsmanship!



A few pine cones
- simple yet beautiful! 


My collection of blue and white transferware.




Our antique Irish hutch. 
It has the most beautiful rich colour
We bought the hutch at an antique store in Brisbane 
before we even knew if it would fit the space.
It was love at first sight♥




I wonder how long it will look this tidy,
before the toys, 
the homework and the crayons 
slowly will creep in and take over...☺
