After almost 2 years in Threesmallapples HQ, the unbelievable has finally happened! No, the cds haven’t been unpacked from their dusty boxes (or Music Magpie-d. Average price paid for my shockingly bad cds? 30p. Still, it all adds up…) nor have we changed the dead lightbulbs in the hall. Instead, the ‘Holding Pen’ has stopped being a holding pen and has actually become… a dining room!
No more trays on laps or boxes of unpacked rubbish (the cds are under the bed), nosireeee. Instead, we’ve got a proper dining area to entertain guests and fight off scavenging kittens. Result!
Now, I still haven’t managed to re-cover the dining room chairs (now that I’ve finally found a fabric, Mr Threesmallapples wants to buy new chairs…(!)), but I have managed (ok, I helped. Slightly) to open up the dining room but getting rid of a couple of oversized and underused black IKEA shelves and replacing them with wall mounted box shelves.
Hurrah! Small progress but progress nonetheless.
And one day soon, I might actually get the chairs done!

They’re home made! Really easy, plywood and timber with a bit of white paint x
