    There is a definite glut, seemingly, of bargain projects up North. Wonder why?? Anyone here from Yorkshire and grabbing lots of bargains??!

    It's looking good Thriftkitten. Can't wait to see the after photo's......I'm addicted to looking at people's project outcomes. I find them so inspiring and uplifting :)

    Loving all the ebay auctions! I'm oop north, all those barnsley bargains are about an hour from me still though.

    Had a terrible day, so I've opened a bottle of rose and waiting for OH to cook me dinner :)

    newmee my dining table was almost identical before I shabbied it - will try and dig out a picture for you!

    Here you go, newmee! You can't see the pedestal very well, but it will give you an idea of how it might look once it's painted :)
