A big thank you to my neice, Leisha, who has left a 'comment' by logging in as Anonymous - well done for cracking this. Can someone else please try it out and jot down some basic instructions in their comments.
Thanks too, Leish, for your blog - it inspires me to keep mine up to date as well!
I've had a very cruisy week getting over a cold but feeling good enough to tackle a refit of the house. The new 'office' was rechristened 'library' complete with 3 bookcases, a sideboard and my CD player (currently playing
Based on a True Story by Fat Freddy's Drop). It's a lovely sunny little nook looking out on to the bush - I need to put some artwork on the bare walls and maybe look for a funky folding chair or bean bag. How's this for a work of art...

Moving the sideboard meant I had more space in the dining area so that was the next area to tweak. Here's the before and after photos:

I'll live with this for a while but am pleased with the overall feel - it's a lot more spacious and the 4-drawer unit fits snugly into the space left after moving the washing machine and is now home to dry goods, cooking stuff and root vege storage. The bench top is badly bowed and I have plumbing that needs to be blocked off so I may look at getting a flat-packed joinery unit from the stove to the back wall, but that's in the 10 year plan!
Happy Spring to those downunder and an awesome Autumn to everyone else :)
