It's been one week and things are already starting to take shape at our Retro Abode. The floors have come up a treat, and with the old curtains gone the lounge room is now light, bright and airy. Just how I like it. Bring on the sunny winter afternoons!

I decided that we needed a round dining table to fit the shape of the room better so luckily this week I found an original (mint condition) Parker setting with matching lounge suite in a gorgeous sage green on E-Bay.

Now all we need to do is purchase a new light fitting, paint the walls, have the blinds cleaned, and bring in our floor rug once the floors have completely hardened in a couple of weeks. Oh yeah, and I must remove the skirt on the new retro lounge to reveal the teak legs!
