Don't mind the messy kitchen, hadn't started on that area when I took the photo on Thursday evening, but this is part of the furniture re-arranging spring cleaning frenzy possessing me lately (it's gonna possess the spare room next weekend).

It's rather odd how swapping things around in the dining/living area of the house has made the room look so much larger, airier and brighter. Plus it seems to show off the floorboards really well (and they badly need a polish - eek).
