Dining Room or Games Room or both!



It will be a lovely games room once the clutter left by the previous owners is cleared... no pics on the official website yet as it doesn't quite look the part, yet!

or a lovely dining room for huge gatherings around a huge table! Apologies for the awful photos, taken in winter... the flash was not working properly but look at the view of the terrace and pool through the huge double doors!

My OH's (other half, husband, long suffering one) eyes lit up when he saw the pool table when we viewed the house. It has come from a bar so is very solid and level and heavy, and yes we did test it out when we bought the house in January (and stayed that one night!) The only problem is that it's in the Dining Room......

.....perfect for huge family meals and a couple of sofas at the far end clustered around a coffee table with a book case to make a reading corner (where the clutter is just now.) Well that's my opinion anyway.

I have managed to source a very solid oak extending table that can be tucked away when not required (or live in the kitchen.) It seats 10-12 when fully extended, and will also be perfect as a cropping/crafting table when we hold our scrapbooking retreats in France. Not too precious that children can't play games on it when it's just too hot outside.......

So I think this will be the muti functional family room for eating, games playing or curling up with a good book away from the rest of the rabble! We will work out the best arrangement at Easter.
