do you mean oriental?

You can get artificial lilies from Dunelm at £1.99 each, if you mean the ones with the big white head and thick green stem?

Also, no offence, and not trying to be pedantic, but you may want to edit your title to the correct spelling of 'Oriental', like Tinkerbell says (and add the 'b' for bathroom! ) just so that people know exactly want you want.

i don't think lillies are oriental - orchids are though.

loads of those at places like TKMaxx

Oh yes, and B&Q are currently selling SOME of their Dulux Endurance, kitchen, and bathroom paint half price or less if that helps? Approx £8.00 for 2.5L.

Not all colours and I don't know if it's store specific, but worth a nosey if you are nearby.

i'd start at florists, haberdasheries and oriental gift shops. your local chinese supermarket might also have some nice stuff like large oriental bowls to put poporri in...

Dunelm have a very nice range of bamboo storage solutions, I was in there today and there was plenty at the Warrington store.
