Her fabric is lovely, but far too expensive for the likes of us. :rotfl:

But, I can still see the chairs in her fabric!

You see I just don't have that vision so I don't know what I'm missing :rotfl:

I seem to remember somebody on this thread saying that they would like a science type stool for their kitchen so that they could rest their weary legs. I just spotted this on ebay if it is any use to anybody.

Love the chairs I thought that they would look lovely covered in a welsh blanket or similar material.

we dont have enough space as it is
and in the midst of extending the kitchen
(which i have bought stuff and filled already and its not even finished yet, and i think i may have bought too much:D)

the wardrobe is very pretty too
unfortunately my teen daughter wouldnt appreciate it at all
she hasnt long had her room done
and, well, its not SC shall we say

Please don't all cheer at once but I have had a whole day at home today and I have finished those coasters at long last :rotfl:
I will add the before and after pic's as it has been a while :rotfl:
I had to paint then 3 times as the green was a pain to cover

Love the coasters!

In August we're going to Cornwall/Plymouth/Exeter for a week, does anyone know any good shabby/vintagey type shops which they'd recommend as worth a visit?

Currently looking out on eBay for a couple of things - a desk for crafting with drawers and maybe a shelf or something. There was loads of these listed until I wanted one now there doesn't seem to be anything. Not that I have anywhere to put it at the moment but want it for when we move house to house all my crafting materials and give me somewhere to sit instead of being on the sofa and loosing all my needles and beads and threads and things down the side!

I'm totally jealous of all of your lovely old wooden sewing boxes so I'm looking out for one of those too

Also looking for a wall-mounted shelf for our kitchen to display my ever growing collection of kitchenalia. Again it's probably better waiting until we move but I'm keeping an eye out now in case I see something I love, it could always go into storage for a few months

They're beautiful Hart! Really lovely

Will have to read back and catch up on thread x

Oh, Exeter has some great shops and the charity shops are pretty good too. I picked up a lovely Sanderson quilt cover set in a CS for a fiver! There's a great retro shop called Otto's.
