The hub of the home

In many houses the kitchen is the hub of the home and now with our extension and the new living space next to the kitchen we are no exception, though probably more exact for us it is the coffee table between the kitchen and family room.

This old table was put here quite by accident, just to get it out of the way but as soon as we did the kids gravitated to it. They do all their drawing and craft on it, play games and eat lunch and snacks. It is the perfect height for them and right in the middle of all the action.

The blue stools you can see in the picture above are great too as they are soft and the tops lift off with storage underneath. It helps that I got them for $10 each from Woolworths.

So we spent the weekend enjoying this space and Saturday watching our builder digging to prepare for installing the deck this week. So excited!

Break through!

It has been a hectic week, we have had knock through and so now lots of mess and nights where we haven't been able to use the kitchen. Thankfully we have some wonderful close friends that have had us over for dinner this week.

On top of which we have had to use others washing machines as ours has decided to die on us right in the middle of everything else going on!

This is the kitchen island bench covered in orange plastic......

To the left of the ladder is the entrance to the new hall which will go to two bedrooms, family bathroom and laundry.

This is all why I haven't posted for a week as there has been many a night where we haven't got into our house until after 8pm then it is the rush for the kids bed time routine and cleaning up what we can before we collapse ourselves.

Start of our new floorboards, hopefully to be completed tomorrow.......

More photos of our existing kitchen (currently not my taste at all) soon as a bit of a surprise later in the week.

Hope you have all had a great weekend.

Basil - smell, taste and colour


Basil, the perfect plant to adorn your kitchen table or island bench. The smell is divine, the colour of the leaves vibrant and uplifting and a great addition to that summer pasta, bruschetta or salad.

So even though the weather was fairly wet this weekend and so couldn't do much in the garden, with basil now in season I just had to get some for inside the house and I think it looks great in this blue pot.

Hope you had a great weekend.
