    I bought this at a boot fair about 9 years ago and it's been in the garage ever since ... hubs has just dragged it in for me and I'm cleaning it and churning frantically in my office/craft room to see if I can fit it in

    Hope you find room for it. :)
    It's a good job we don't have a garage or it would be filled with pieces of furniture that I like but don't necessarily have room for in the house.:rotfl:

    I found room for it by dragging everything off my work bench and scattering it all over the room to fit the oak cupboard on it. Then I pulled a hook off the wall, and a large lump of plaster came with it. Then I needed to tidy up my craft cupboard, so all that stuff was strewn everywhere too. 2 hours later my craft cupboard was neatly organised in clear plastic containers ( one pinched from the kitchen so bags of nuts etc are homeless at the moment...) There's an in tray two foot high with filing sat on the floor. Now I'll sleep on it & see if I like the new arrangement. :rotfl::rotfl:

    here she is for now -

    Hi,I've just seen this article on when Pinterest goes wrong, and thought it was very funny. Lots of comparison shots between what the finished article should be and what actually turned out. It was linked to on Centsational Girl's blog.

    I think no 3 tickled me the most. :D Hope you enjoy!

    I'm glad you found room for it. It looks lovely filled with all your things. I'm very jealous that you have a craft room, my craft supplies are stored (dumped lol) under the stairs and the projects I have on the go are spread over the dining table. :D
