Cosy

We've been having a bit of a change around here at home.
Pieces of furniture have been moved from one room to another, been taken upstairs, bought back downstairs and gone upstairs again, much to G's annoyance as he's been the one doing most of the lifting and shifting!
Our home is a little 3 bedroomed terrace built just over 100 years ago. There isn't much in the way of storage space and so what furniture we have needs to made the most of.
One thing I have yearned for for ages is a small sofa in our dining room.
What I would actually like is a huge farmhouse style kitchen/dining room that has room for comfy squashy sofas, but as that is not an option G and I chatted about what we could try to do.

Once decided and out on our first joint shopping trip to look for the new furniture we found EXACTLY what we wanted! I couldn't believe our luck. In a second hand furniture store was this green sofa, perfect in measurements and colour.
Complete with a fabulous crochet blanket, I bought in the charity shop I volunteer in for 25p, it has proved in just a couple of short weeks to be a popular spot with the cats, perfect for G to relax on when he comes in from home and chat with me whilst I cook



and a great spot for magazine reading with a hot drink and a cake. This is a museli cake from a batch I made yesterday, not a success and not one I'll be making again.

Not a great photo as I needed to be quick but talking of cosy, just how snuggled does Melvin look in his new favourite spot outside. Nestled in the clematis that trials over from next door to our garden on a piece of trellis G put up.

So cute.
