and so nice to have outside space thats "your" little corner :T

the people at Google Earth and gonna be rubbing their eyes at the spate of beach huts springing up all over the country:D

:rotfl:I love the Google Earth bit!

Thanks midnightraven3, I'm completely in love with it too! When I catch sight of it, it always makes me smile!

Really easy, Three coats of paint, just used the old chair cover as a pattern and got new tacks to tack the new fabric on.

Have a look in Dunelm Mill bluebell - that's where I got mine - it's spotty !

newmee, I am so envious of your Ercol chair, so fab. Everything Ercol seems to go for so much money on Ebay, I need to search harder as you only paid £5. I quite like the print on it, reminds me of the cath kidston cowboy print but it will look really fab with new fabric. My taste is mixed too, I dont like lots of floral but the painted furniture, mixing old and new etc is definitely me.

Maybe someone else posting the link is allowed?

Tiff, this is taken from the forum rules;

I think it's because MSE can't guarantee that people won't put advertising on their site at some point.

Loving all the pictures of everyone's hard work. :j

HariboJunkie - Can I just say that your Kitchen is at the top of my list as my ideal kitchen! I saw it ages ago on the where the OS happens thread and have it tagged as what I want my kitchen to be.

On another note, I have been sewing and more and more of it is turning out union jackified! My Dh continues to worry :rotfl::

wow, some very inspiring post's. got so many ideas yet again,lol

i've finished my mdf letters. i used ck tissues and pva/water mix. I found it very hard tog et all the winkles out. there still some, but on the shelf where they are you don't notice them too much.lol



and the clock i bought. i love the shape of it. i'm going to give it a sand and then paint it.

Kandipandi

jcr16 they are lovely - thats a lovely idea for the Ck napkins - I saw some letters in hobbycraft last week and they were not too extortionate (as much of their stuff can be). That clock has loads of potential - please post a pic when you change it.
