He then sits in his bouncer while I make breakfast and a big cup of coffee. Phil and I do our work there and I spend a lot of time cooking and baking. It&#8217;s also the room we use most when family and friends visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think you get it, I love spending time in my kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I want to tell you about the new and much needed addition to our kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/48284041342\/in\/datetaken\/\" title=\"bar cart kitchen\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48284041342_f75d7fe326_b.jpg\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"bar cart kitchen\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib-home.co.uk\/cupboards\/consoles\/florist-table-gibelle=0542569\">Florist table Gibelle<\/a> table from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib-home.co.uk\">pib<\/a> (gifted).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a lovely gift which arrived just a few weeks before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prettygreentea.com\/category\/pregnancy\">Xander made his entrance into the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve already had so much use out of it so I thought it was about time I shared it with you. Truth be told, I&#8217;ve been trying to finish this post for a couple of weeks now but my new mum life takes priority. I&#8217;m still figuring out how to balance everything but we&#8217;re getting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/48283733986\/in\/datetaken\/\" title=\"Florist table Gibelle - Pib\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48283733986_231cf7d6a3_b.jpg\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Florist table Gibelle - Pib\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as I spotted the table I knew it was going to be versatile. It&#8217;s the main reason I picked it from the pib site. I also loved the retro look and knew it would be a classic shabby chic style that would always look good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s made out of 100% white metal and holds heavy objects with ease. It&#8217;s robust and I can tell it&#8217;s going to be around our home for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/48284193072\/in\/datetaken\/\" title=\"Florist table Gibelle - Prettygreentea\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48284193072_44cd93828f_b.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Florist table Gibelle - Prettygreentea\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>We initially set the table up as a bar cart in our kitchen but it quickly moved rooms and turned into a changing table during the first month of Xander&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/48284093446\/in\/datetaken\/\" title=\"Florist table Gibelle - pgt\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48284093446_9d31e45437_b.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Florist table Gibelle - pgt\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>It fit our changing mat perfectly with room for a few baskets underneath filled with nappies, wipes and fresh clothes. It was a godsend for my c-section recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/48283790031\/in\/datetaken\/\" title=\"Florist table Gibelle - PGT\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48283790031_441ec92b8d_b.jpg\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Florist table Gibelle - PGT\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>It has since turned back into a bar cart, it is summer after-all. It&#8217;s living in our kitchen and we&#8217;ve displayed our favourite gins, beers and wines. I&#8217;ve also added some fairy lights which make the kitchen extra cosy in the evening. I think some flowers looped through the bars would look lovely too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many other ways I&#8217;m looking forward to using the table. I&#8217;d like to use it as a vanity one day. The bottom shelf lifts up to allow room for your legs. It would also work well as a desk or console table by the front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the ways I&#8217;ll be using it this summer is to lay out grazing lunches. I can also imagine taking it outside when we have a BBQ to use for all the tasty treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can see us using this table for years to come. I imagine it will take on many forms and move with us from home to home. I love furniture that stays around for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am so happy to have discovered pib. They have such a lovely collection of unique vintage-inspired furniture and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib-home.co.uk\/sales\">currently have a sale on<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like many families we spend most of our time in the kitchen.
