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 )

That is lovely, I was watching one just like it on ebay - it sold for £40

oh that dresser is gorgeous. my mil came round today , she loves my dreser and is so inspired to strip and paint her one. she has a gorgeous 4 door ducal dresser but it is a dark dark pine. and as her dining room so small she wants to lighten it up. but it nice having a mil who likes what i like and can enjoy doing the crafts together.

Yes, Carmarthen. I'm in Pembs so Builth is a bit of a drive but hopefully worth it! I've never been to a big fair before :T

looks like I wont make it after all. I am so jealous. I love antique fairs and every time one comes up I cant make it.

I love Pembs too. Travel there for work a lot and keep thinking I would definitely move there! Not that I dont love where I live.

That mirror is gorgeous tara, and look how much it sells for on Ebay.

Thank you I cound belive the price and just had to get it, Im lucky I have a hatchback car so I could get it home :rotfl:

Charity shops and house clearence places are a good place to check out for old funiture.

I am gutted though just before I moved in with my partner 4 yrs ago he had an old bureau he didn't want it so got rid of it (not sure where):eek:

Lol @ Tara. It's very pretty but you need to stop buying stuff *snigger*! Just think how much stuff you'll have to move when you buy your house :eek:. (I'm only jealous really ). ttfn, Kaz.
