I'm sure that it will go for more than it's on for now, is very pretty.
Also Homebase has a sale on some of their wallpapers, some's down to £3 a roll for Linda Barker & other designer sorts.

It took me ages to figure out too, but you go on the fabric page, then click on the pattern that you like. It sdhould have a red box saying 'add to bag' and if there's a sample available, underneath there's a blue box saying 'request sample'. I don't think samples are available on all the fabrics all of the time though so it's just a case of going through them all to see which ones have the box. Kandipandi I love that mirror!

If you search 'sample' in the search box all the fabric samples available come up

Thriftkitten, what an absolutely lovely thing to say, thank you I use B&Q colours primer and undercoat (both in one pot) and find it great for the job, although if you know anyone with a B&Q trade card they do a tub twice the size for about £1 more.

All my fabrics were Cath Kidston and much of it was donated by a very kind lady, although some came off ebay. There are a lot of companies who do 'CK style' fabric - Globaltex, for example. I'd suggest ebay as a place to start or maybe ask on your local freecycle?

Thanks I will get looking. Need some motivation and your blog has given me a bit of oomph. thanks

I believe that she made that cushion from a CK tea towel - so assume the tag was already on it. HTH .

What she said ^^^^^^^^ . I wouldn't think you can get them separately or people would start faking things left right and centre.

I showed my DH this thread & the pictures and he hates the shabby chic look.
I was alarmed..I am planning a lot of shabby-chicing!
I dont know where to start with undercoats and wax and such though.
