Ooh I've been looking at this range too - do you have any photos? I'm wanting to do a duck egg and white bedroom and despite saying I was going to add bits and pieces and paint to the cr*ppy wardrobes I have at the moment, I really cba as I'm so out of love with them

No photos atm as camera is busted and waiting for Santa to bring new one The bedroom is painted toffee and fudge with chocolate brown curtains, feux suede, a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into them.

Only moved into the house in March and have done every room now, except the kitchen which is stacked up in the lounge ready to be fitted in November. Can't wait till it's in so I can start accessorising!!

Thanks!!! I love the mirror too, most expensive thing ive bough from a car boot at £15, hahaha, but its really solid and exactly what i was looking for, so a real bargain! The bathroom pic is the colour i think id like to go for, my bathroom is smaller though, but think it should still look nice. As i said earlier, we tried a purple colour the other night - awful! Looked really really bad! Way too dark. I think the Sage colour is nice and fresh : )

Any tips on the mirror ladies?

emzeebabez, try the sewing room thread - they're really helpful over there!

Well I was just about to give in and order the constellation mirror then I saw jackieglasgow's post :eek: that's a really good price...not sure I'd have much fun carrying it through our town centre mind, assuming my local even had one. Hmmmm...tougher decisions - if there's anything I hate more than spending money, it's spending it when I could have saved some!

Bibbity I saw this in a mag and thought it might be a cheaper option for you if you like it http://search.next.co.uk/search?w=star%20mirror&nxti=0&nxtv=0&p=Q&ts=v8 HTH

My constellation mirror came yesterday. So quick it said three weeks. Haven't unpacked it yet as need to get OH in to action to put it up! I'm afraid I'm useless at that sort of thing!
