    Just watched the whole show. Not much more impressed I have to say! I do think they over spent on items. Plus what happened to the pretty little table she already had? She also had a painted chair so why buy 3 more?
    I bet the table will annoy her with time, bits will fall down that hole.

    just watched it on i player and am not totally convinced - seemed very expensive for second hand planks !!


    But moving on - I got a small wooden table from freecycle last night that I am planing an renovating and using as a pc table instead of my old beach effect chipboard rubbish - but that old thing has so much storage space on it i don't know where i will put everything .

    I am thinking of adding some shelves above the desk with wicker baskets and tins for storage but shelving is so expensive .

    does anyone have any tips for finding really cheap shelving materials ? ( becuase dh siad i could as long as I dont spend too much and i want to save the spends for pretty things )
    I am journeying to a debt-free life.

    I am watching this now on iplayer- that table looked rubbish! Oh well! Glad mine was free and looks much nicer! The man in it as well is a bit of a snob....

    I did my dining room for about a hundred pounds. :D Still.... each to their own!

    I really want a small dresser but don't want to pay a lot for it... maybe I will find one in the charity shop or freecycle.


    I have loads of fabric so might make a few more cushion covers.... I have a window seat I want to update.

    Have a good day all :)

    I must be the only person who liked the table! I thought it was lovely. Not convinced about the three lampshades though.

    shame the duvets have now been discontinued. wanted to order a couple. not for beds but thought i could turn them into curtains and line them for my kitchen , figured it alot cheaper than per meter price of similar material. oh well. Perhaps they will be in stock again.

    Jane130 - we used old wardrobe doors to make some shelves - they look really quite good as well :)
