B&Q have some nice rugs, and might be worth trying Wilkinson's, Dunelm or Tesco too. Could you post a pic of the LA one you like and we can try find you something similar!

thanks.. im liking the malmaison rug in laura ashley.. sorry I dont seem to be allowed to post a link here!

My chairs are the dining ones posted a few pages back. Seriously after I had varnished some and not others I couldn't tell which I'd done and which I hadn't. Vicki has seen my chairs including when only one was varnished. Come on Vicki back me up here you can't tell the difference can you?

Forgot to say I went into B&Q again today and bought another pot of International Multi Surface Primer for only £3. I think they are not going to sell it anymore because I looked in a different store the other day and it didn't sell it. Could be worth buying it if you think you might need some.

I just won this on ebay for £5.50. Painted black at the moment but not for long!

I will believe you hun and will on the strength of that - be varnishing my unit - which hopefully is outside drying off from the last coat - I have been doing it all day - was really nervous cutting the green and white spotty paper and then gluing it inside - ran out on the last two panels = need to go and get some more

I love that, it's fab!

I don't know if anyone has a Next Home store near them, but if you do you can pick up A4 wallpaper swatches in them. I am planning to pick up something like this and laminate it for a wipe clean shopping list board for the kitchen.
