    loving the blog MG. I really like the colour too, my last kitchen was that colour. Oh the joys of being a single woman in own home. Cant get away with girlie pink now I share with OH. Take a look over on the shabby chic thread there are a few bureaux done up over there. Bibbitybobs is especially chic. Now can we start commenting over there?

    is that the one with the union flag???? Cos i want!!!!!!!!!!!

    the trouble with the shabby chic thread is that i feel so at home there that i never want to leave - and i have a huge case of itchy fingers and want to grab my paintbrush and sewing machine. If I'm going to be ready for thursday i daren't wander over for too long.

    strikes me though - that there are some very nice ladies over there with some very positive mindsets - so if anyone wants to wander over you will feel very much at home. they make even perfect newbies feel like they can achieve so much.

    they are on the moneysaving old style part of the forum

    Just in & relaxing - away to tidy for a bit though

    Yes you're right, this will be the calm before the storm - but I need help I,m afraid. I've tried to post a picture onto the blog but it won't accept - it's my avatar for here - any ideas?
    And I've posted but it puts up part of my e-mail address rather than my user name - how can I change it - Sorry & all that

  • Hi MG and the rest of the pioneers ,

    I bought a little bureau like that yesterday to use in the space under the stairs for my lappy and the paperwork!! and i intend to paint it cream as well !! So there is a reason for me to follow this thread even tho it isn't obvious at present, another message from the universe methinks.

    Count me in , I have subscribed to the blog .....anyone any idea how i can change my name to the one I have here??? [easy instructions plse :rotfl: ]

    The the workspace MG and plans to upcycle it :T

    I tried to subscribe but it displayed my email address too :eek: Panic attack ensued, so I removed my name and will just lurk instead until I work out how to do it

    We're moving shortly and renting our current place, so for once we are very tidy and organized and already I can feel some the the low lying stress lifting. An ordered home can't be underestimated and I will be making that top priority in our new house. In the meantime l'll set about finding a workspace for myself (I feel a junk shop shopping trip coming on :D)
