Thanks for the advice, I think i may just keep the table pine. It needs sanded down and revarnished. Actually can't wait to start it, need to wait until Sunday though as im working tomorrow and Saturday .

Not exactly SC but I managed to get a cream toaster, kettle and george foreman grill for under £90. All matching cream, and hopefully will look nice in my new kitchen when I move in.

Not strictly shabby chic but thought you might like a peek anyway

Bingo! THAT's what to give my impossible friend for Christmas, she'd love it (and I reckon can make most of it from scraps I have lying around :money:). Thank you.

What wire did you use please?
