My Kitchen at McManor

This weekend has been a weekend of rest.  I did make a lamb dinner whilst it was Easter.  Instead of a roast lamb dinner (which I'm not a massive fan of), I made a lamb tagine in the slow cooker- recipe to follow next week.  In the meantime though, I wanted to share with you my favourite room of the house: my kitchen-diner!  This is the room of my house that is used the most- from dinners for family and friends, to date night meals with my man!  It is also the traditional meeting place for me and the girls before we head out for the night- we sit around the table for drinks.

I got my kitchen from Ikea and it was fitted 5 year ago after a bad break up and felt like I was giving my home an overhaul and fresh start.  It's been my favourite room ever since!

The diner part!  Complete with pretty vintage things to make it into a traditional country kitchen!  All furniture from Ikea is the best quality furniture I've ever bought.

The kitchen- where all the cooking and recipes happen!

These jugs were bought from a place called Country Baskets, as were the pictures below. click here

These pictures were made by a colleague at work and are so pretty

My house is nicknamed McManor, the tiles for the sigh were a gift from France; the bunting from the Haigh Hall vintage fair Click here for Haigh Hall site.

I'm off on my Easter holidays now, so hoping to try some new recipes.  Have a fabulous week of real food!
