Thats cute tara, that link didnt work but you can put the item number in Ebay search.

Does anyone know where I can find a budget priced chandelier? I dont mind if its brass/gold and I can spray paint it. I need two really plus some wall lights.

Argos had a really cheap one recently (which featured as a Grabbit), do a search and it might still be in stock.

Im going to strip it down and see what the wood is like under the muck and see if I need to paint, it is for my fabric (Im usually in the sewing room ).

I live in a 17th centry cottage with my partner and we are slowly doing it up and I just love the country look. We ripped the hardboard off the stair wall the previous owner put on and under it is the old tongue and groove with a tiny window.

I found this seller on Ebay that Im going to get some bits from (the stuff is beautiful, I love hearts )

I love the handles but one is missing so I will have to replace them, I am trying to find some similar

lol at taka, thats a bargain. The handles seem to be very similar to my bureau but I'm not replacing mine. The wood looks in good condition to me.

I've read on American blogs about lining drawers with wrapping paper, and putting mod podge on top, think you can get that in craft stores and online. Either that or line with wallpaper, you can get wallpaper adhesive in a tube for small areas.
