Oooh lovely dressing table EagerLearner.

I agree with newmee and danemi about the seat pads, perfect as they are

The kitchen seems to be coming on nicely hart.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this slready but there is 25% off windows and walls at Laura Ashley, so 25% paint, wallpaper etc.

Wow, away for a few days and an explosion of activity. Looking fantastic everybody.

Bibbity I will be really excited to see what you do with those wardrobes. Vickki your dining room is just so fresh and airy I love it. Dane - well done on all the sewing you are really motoring with your learning curve and I cant wait to see the corner cupboard.
Everybody else - just wow! I especially love the mirror. But the best thing is that I am not the only one who starts looking for one thing on ebay and ends up with something totally different.

Looking good hart!

I've given the free bureau we got with the wardrobes their first sand down and undercoat, going to B&Q later with OH and will hopefully pick up the bits we need for the wardrobe and the last bits I need for the bureau. Have taken a 'before' photo which I'll try and get uploaded later.

OH is finishing off the sink and bath plumbing in the new bathroom, I'm very excited to get it tiled now!

I'm sure it'll be worth the wait gingababe It is frustrating though, I know, when there seems to be the best bargains only for them to be miles away from where you live!!! Sickening.

Well I had a lovely morning having a good old nosey round Shirlgirls house and all of her projects lol! Turns out we used to know each other a couple of years ago. We swapped goodies - She got a pot of HM jam and a copy of my brilliant book with the roman blinds in that I found at the boot sale an in return I came away with...

Which is the best photo I can get on my landing without falling down the stairs! It fits perfectly in the funny little corner and I'd been looking for one for a while now to store towels, toilet rolls and my growing stash of baragin Boots toiletries! Thanks again Shirl - Watch this space for the after pics.
