Hi all and thanks for comments on the dresser mirror - seems Danemi1 and I have the same excellent taste! :beer:
Re: images from Flickr I has been using my laptop in 'webmode' alot which reduces it's functions but is so much quicker so only today managed to get to the 'properties' of the image in 'normal' laptop mode... and it worked! Now I know how to do it properly you'll never see the end of images ha ha :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

xxvickixx love the chair seats they're so pretty! It has made me realise I must get on with the other 3 I have to do, just need 3 more foam pads from Dunhelm. Might even see if I can order them pre-cut off ebay or something.

My custom cut perspex shelves have arrived from ebay so will try those out tomorrow night after work so very excited - thanks to this here thread!

Have a good evening all and enjoy collecting your new piece BargainBird x

danemi1

great stuff hun - pleased you sorted it with flickr - as I say there may be a quicker way I dunno but its the only way I have found so far - let me know if you find a better way xx

xxvickixx love the seat pads and think they look perfect as they are. I think buttons may make them look too 'fussy' so I say leave them as you have done - they look great

danemi1

I agree with newmee - they look fab as they are - you are a clever lady!

Hi everyone
just giveing you an update on my kitchen :rotfl: as it is taking forever but Im getting there

The doors are now done and this big cupboard has had a coat of cream paint this morning.
The wallpaper at the back of the finished cupboard is the Laura Ashely paper I got for £3 on ebay Im going to use it on the shelves too as it looks so good with the cream
I hope to have one side of the kitchen finished this weekend

Oh Hart, it will look lovely won't it, when it's done. I didn't know you had to paint the whole unit. My carcases were already white so I only had to do the doors. No wonder it's taking a while.
What is the paper like? I can't really make it out in the photo.
