I bought these lovely storage tins instore in Sainsbury's today at just £3.60 for all 3. They are more expensive online.

I also noticed that they have lots of new ceramics, mugs etc that all seem very similar to ( i.e blatantly rip off!:D) Emma Bridgewater's ranges. Obviously not as nice quality but certainly more budget friendly.

Luvvie; I think your makeover is absolutely brilliant and done on such a small budget as well :T (yes, I'm jealous of your office!)

Hubby took me to Sandwich today and we bought some Annie Sloan Paint I could have spent hundreds there but in the end I bought 1 litre Cream to redo my waxed dresser, and some wax, and 1 litre of Provence to do some manky old wooden benches in the garden.

Whittled from the wood pile! A little Quirky harbour. Inspired by a little bay near us that has 300 steps to get to the bottom, by they were tough in those days!

Annie sloan pain question

Hello I am just wondering if anyone has painted over annie sloan paint with a 'normal paint'? I have just finished painting my pine furniture with annie sloan and have some left but not enough to do 2 coats on a dresser i have so i wondered about using it as a sort of undercoat so i did not have to do all the prep on the dresser. Any thoughts much appreciated.
