Thanks, the shelves only cost £3, I was amazed as it was exactly what I went to the car boot sale for and they were perfect!! £3!! I'm going back next week to look for more things! I'm going to hang the pictures vertically on a wall somewhere.
People are making similar ones like these for ebay and selling them for an extortionate amount. £35.... These ones arent even padded. Considering they took me 5 minutes to make...

I only started looking at this thread a couple of weeks ago, so this may well have been mentioned here already. But, just in case it hasn't, my local B&M shop had some 'HOME' style clocks in a few weeks ago. The actual clock was where the 'O' is. £3.99 which I thought was pretty good considering it tells the time too
I bought a white one, but plan to paint it in pastels.0 -

They're lovely Kandipandi. I've got my eye out for a Napoleon hat clock at the moment, and I have the perfect spot sitting empty waiting for it - do you think I can find one I like?!
I also very much like your wallpaper, can I ask where it is from?"A cat can have kittens in the oven, but that don't make them biscuits." - Mary Cooper
