WHEN THE SUMMER HEAT SOARS, MOVE THE FURNITURE

 Recently I have pestered my husband

with the idea of bringing up the old

buffet from downstairs to place between

the kitchen and dining area.  This piece

is bulky but fun too as a place to serve

food when we have guests and decorate

seasonally .  It was quite a challenge

for he and I to pull (him) and push (me) this up the stairs to the wall where I formerly had a china display

(converted from an armoire).

I realize that this means the dining 

area is more crowded now but I can

live with that.  This room is rather

strange in that one side is a kitchen

area and one side is a dining area

with no wall in between.  You can

see the buffet around the corner to

the right.

And this is the other side:

Of course this is where Hubby and

I  eat our meals:

So now with that all done and cooler 

temps this week, I hope to get out

and set up a "Tea In The Garden".

In the meantime....I do have a

bouquet on the porch:
