I dont realy understand PC's but I think there is a forum that deals with PC probs some where on MSE or maybe someone who comes here will know

I love your tip Kaz, Thank you I never even thought of using pillows to make cushions :rotfl:

To see images, go to User CP then click on EDIT OPTIONS on the left hand side and then scroll down and you can tick for show images, show avatars and something else which I can't remember.

Looks like its going to be a nice weekend and there are lots of cb's going on to choose from. Want to look for some nice stuff for the garden after being inspired by Bibbity bob that I can put my own stamp on.

Got myself a lovely wicker old fashioned picnic basket from a local cs yesterday - cane work is in such good condition I think I will leave it in its original state but line it with some pretty fabric in a flowery pattern.

I went to the auction last night went a wee bit over on a sewing box I got it for £24 but I wanted it so badly as it reminded me of my Aunt who had one and taught me to sew etc..

A friend texted me saying on Breakfast tv this morning they are saying shabby chic look is now in!!!

Hi all,

Loving the latest projects from everyone, and Irishgirl I am in awe of yours and your finds too.

Pregnancy means mine are so slow now... Today though managed a bit more gardening, some repainting of garden furniture, plus spraying the chair cushions I had redone with some fabric protector. Also helping OH a bit with our office makeover...

Really want to finish our set of chairs though - the chair cushions are redone and sprayed, the chairs just need sanding and painting with the F&B I have - one finished and 3 more to do...maybe tomorrow I will make a start or later today will sand them if not too tired.

Wow you have all done some fantastic work!!

Im new to all this (new to just decorating lol!!) Anyway we'd like to repaint our bedside tables and a couple of other things and I was hoping for a bit of advice please

I guess we have to sand them and then paint them? Ive seen that you mostly recommend F&B but Ive just had a quick google and there seems to be very mixed reviews about their paint, is it really good or bad? What are the other alternatives? Also where do you get it from? Ive seen that post people use the 'eggshell' finish but you can't get that in Homebase, B&Q etc.. so where do you all get it from?

Thank you in advance! I hope to be posting pictures of my make overs soon
