I'm still undecided about the glass door. I don't want it to be a display cabinet so I could put wallpaper behind the leaded glass, or replace with persepex and put paper behind, or the cheapest option would be to cover a bit of cardboard or hardboard with wallpaper and pop that in instead, but for now it's considered finished.

How about hanging a curtain behing the glass. It wouldn't take too much fabric as you don't need to gather it much. Fix a net curtain wire and thread it through the top of the curtain.

Does that make sense :question:.......Not sure but I think so!!

I can't remember who used some transfer/decal type things a while ago, I think it was a coat peg thing made out of a scrap of wood.
Anyway I think they sounded like they use these a fair bit and wanted some info on suppliers and what type to go for.
Thanks

It came from here but the same company also sometimes sell them on Ebay cheaper don't know the ID though. They are really well made beds and very quick and easy to put together.

ETA looked on Ebay the sell as lawson furniture but they don't have any listed at the moment.

:hello: Can I peek out of lurkdom? I am a shabby chic wannabe and I just love this thread! Thank you so much to everyone who posts pictures as I find them very inspirational.

I am in the process of shabby chic-ing up our bedroom at the moment, but have a teeny budget to do it so it's all baby steps! We already have a fab bed and some lovely bedding (very CK but actually from Tesco), and lots of furniture which I am planning to transform :rotfl:.

Bought this today http://search.next.co.uk/search?w=bunting&filter=&p=Q&ts=v8&nxti=0&nxtv=000 as I just love it and actually thought that was quite a good price for 3m!
