I just bought two rolls of this wallpaper for one wall in my bedroom - I chose it months ago and it's half price atm
I'm going to make the curtains using the matching fabric and a border of another design (sounds daft, but it makes sense in my mind!).
I'm having to fight myself to stop spending more! I ordered some wallpaper samples from the little greene wallpaper people the other day - they came today and there is one I can just picture in my lounge, but it's £40+/roll :eek: Perhaps I can patchwork with samples :rotfl:"A cat can have kittens in the oven, but that don't make them biscuits." - Mary Cooper

Here is a pic of my lush table and chairs for the very basic but coming along small garden, I'm thinking of painting the fence a verrreee loverrrly colour, maybe the same as the shed lol!! Just not sure what colour yet.... Something and cream striped I think.
Oh wow that came out a little big, sorry peeps xx
PS I didn't pick the forget me nots, they were given to me by my friend and I didn't re plant all of them so thought I'd stick them in a white T pot to add some pretty to my table.
