In order to break up my feeling of "everything taking forever" I ventured into the world of flat packs last week in the purchase of our very first piece of furniture :) - yes it is way to early, and yes it means I'll have to put the item back in its box only to be rebuilt again next year when we actually have keys to a house. But it was very exciting to finally have something that is "ours" and to start imagining all of its uses.
So what did we buy? Well after chats about the cost of putting a gas point outside in the alfresco for the bbq I saw a sale on Butcher's Trolley's. Perfect for extra cutting space in the kitchen, perfect for wheeling items out to the bbq, perfect for cleaning up after after dinner drinks in the alfresco :)
Here it is in nearly all of its glory. It may not be much. But it is our first piece of furniture.
