    That looks great, as does your floor. I think we both used to have the same carpet!

    Hello, some may remember the kitchen cupboard debacle when the boiler broke, it was a a really useful cupboard but made fixing the boiler difficult and it was a awkward angle to get into the study and the back door. Last time the boiler was fixed the cupboard legs and cornicing(?) was broken by the repair man.

    I got a dresser from eBay, getting the correct width was a battle as most are 80cm and I needed 60cm. However painted it old white because I wasn't brave enough to distress it.

    Here is a comparison. The old cupboard covered a corner cupboard so it didn't need a door , so I covered it with some cheap fabric.
