    Could we have a "before and after" separate thread for things that people have done? I wondered, as I was looking for something that somebody had done previously and just couldn't find it, I can't trawl through 155 pages!!

    Just an idea????

    Please, please, I know I don'y post here, but I read everything every day.

    I have an old (about 50 years old) glass cabinet which was a wedding present to my MIL & FIL from their parents when they got married in 1957. It's been stuffed in the back of the shed for about 10 years as I don't really like it, but now I'm sure I could paint and brighten it up with new handles, and I also remember seeing one like it on here, but can't find it............

    Can anyone point me in the right direction.........please??

    Thanks

    If you click on 'search this thread' under the page numbers at the top of the page and then type in 'glass cabinet' you'll see lots of posts to inspire and help you.

    If there is no space for another thread, perhaps we could introduce a convention to this thread that all pictures of projects have something specific in the post title ('work in progress', 'before and after', 'before', 'after') so that they would be easy to locate in a thread search?

    I haven't been very well recently as my RA is playing up, so DH has just done an amazingly thorough job in sanding every scrap of varnish off the second chair from the bedroom. He said it was because he was fed up of having it in the way, waiting in the kitchen :o .
    I hope he will paint it too :D I mean :o ... so I can just make the covers.

    My dad has done an amazing job making me an Ercol-inspired plate rack for the kitchen :j :j :j because I have not been able to track one down round here. maybe DH will paint that too :p

    I want to share some photos of my treasures, which have really helped me keep going over the past few weeks.
    I know that somebody has posted a detailed explanation of how to post photos (eg flickr), but I can't find it, does anyone know the post number? TYIA
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    Thanks you.

    it might have been this one - if you go to post 2635 there is a link to a picture of the glass cabinet that i bought and also a link to one that had been painted. Might be that??

    For all those that are asking how to post photos, I have just added a "walkthrough" guide on my blog:
    http://mumsee.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/how-to-post-photos-on-an-internet-forum/

    I think that this is the one that you mean
