When we were renovating Maison KL this time last year we simply had it in mind to restore the homestead to its original state of ten-years-ago. It was not our intention to do anything radically new, as we were well pleased with what we'd got. And we didn't, except for the completely accidental creation of a cosy corner outside the kitchen door - in effect our back door - as a result of extending the roofing covering the patio. The actual purpose of doing this was to afford some protection from the rain for the areas below which had suffered to a small degree from splash-back. But now we find ourselves with a nice little sheltered area, big enough for a table, duly purchased on this visit, and a few chairs, which we already had, a perfect spot for afternoon tea, or a lazy breakfast, or a bit of a read.
We're intending to install an overhead fan in the area as a finishing touch, but on the two occasions we have experimented in making it fit for purpose it has already felt pretty much perfect. I think I can say, along with Sinead (no relative), I do not want what I have not got - being more than satisfied with what I have. So there.
