Around and About the House

I walked around the house and garden today with my camera and just snapped away!
This old chest of drawers was left in the house when we moved in. I painted it, added some new handles and a mirror and now have a lovely dressing table.

This year I have gone for pink geraniums as I think they look quite good with the pale green leaves of the olive tree.

There are a lot of fledglings in the garden at the moment and the sparrows in particular, like to line up on the fence waiting to be fed.

I bought this rhododenron in a sale at Percy Throwers Garden Centre two years ago. It was really cheap in their sale but had no label and was not in flower so I really had no idea what colour it was so took a chance. This year is the first time it has flowered. It was worth waiting for.

My bed!

The washing!

I inherited this old plant pot off my grandmother.

I finally got around to painting another kitchen chair today.

I painted this green chair a couple of years ago and amazingly it matches my new Cath Kidston mixing bow.
