    While I had the staple gun and fabric out I though that I'd better do the sewing box as well:
    Before - CBS I can't remember if this was £1 or £2

    After

    The trim was in a pack of three different styles reduced from £5 to £1.24 in Dunelm so nice and cheap.


    And brilliant news, the missing dresser knob turned up- in the drawer of all places!

    it was the matching border hun - but I would be quick if I were you - I was a bit worried I wasnt going to get the last piece as the first two paper shops that had it - have stopped doing it - B & Q were the only ones to still have it - I couldnt come out with lots of samples so I had previously got some from each store - then had to go back for last bit - panicked when the first two had then stopped it

    It is lovely paper I would love to redecoratea room in it - a feature wall at least - thanks for comments about unit - Vicki you helped me quite a bit mate thanks - esp the bit about letting the glue off a bit first on the paper before applying and the handle so xxxx to you
