  13. Oh how I dream to be able to put 'things' back in my house, once the kids are older and won't break/throw or stomp on them! Lovely ideas Carolyn. Emily

  14. Looks fantastic. I am the same as Emily, I can't wait til the kids are a bit older and have my spaces back I can decorate in. The ones I do have get so blimin' dusty so quick, with not much time to dust, but I prevail!
