That looks lovely and cosy Morgs

Morgs, that looks stunning.

Lovely, Morgs! How big is your dining room??

Thanks all. I'm pleased with it now it's almost done. It would have been lovely to have had it finished for Christmas, but it's perfectly functional.

It's lovely!

It's really lovely, Morgs, such a cosy room.

That does look lovely Morgs, so cosy!

Lovely room, Morgs! Well worth the wait!

The room looks lovely Morgs - the yellow chairs in particular are stunning!

That looks lovely!

I really like that room! The chairs are great.

Thanks everyone.

We've used it properly today with a BD buffet for six of us, and it worked well. Without all the food on the table we could have had another 2 seats, but any more leaves in the table would have been too many for the size of the room.

Lovely room, Morgs. I particularly like the Art Deco shape of the mirror.

We hung out Christmas present from my mum today. There’s a bit of glare, so it’s not the best pic, but they look great IRL.

May the force be with you! They look really good, Est.

I'm on a roll after years of buying very little for the house, and have bought this but in the gold colour (so the large size in the amber glass).


I got the floor lamp too, also in the softer colour. We went into the shop to check them out, and I'm pleased we did, as initially I liked the silver ones, but when you see them irl there is no petrol tinge to them like the online blub suggests, and the amber ones are a lot nicer. Also the shop can order things that aren't available online. As they aren't a stock order I have to wait for delivery, but we aren't sitting in the dark, so it doesn't matter. Meanwhile, I am on the lookout for wall lights and a table lamp that will tone with them, if anyone has any ideas of what would work? Currently we have tiffany lights, which I like a lot but am sick of looking at, and definitely won't go with the new things. I want something that isn't matching, but still looks 'put together'. I usually have the wall lights, floor lamp and table lamp on together to light from the edges, and if I can find something to arrive soon that would be great.

Those are gorgeous, Morgs!

Thanks. that's good to hear, as I'm in that troublesome period between committing to something and it being delivered when I fret and tell myself I don't like them after all. I don't know what to do about wall lights, as the glass ones are quite unusual and I don't know what will go. I think I need to sort them out before getting a table lamp.

What about these?



ETA and maybe this lamp?

I love that second lamp Morgs. That is so classic

Love the lamp

Gorgeous lamps, Morgs. I can't wait to see the room when it's all done!
