    Almost... You need to use the link that says DIRECT rather than the one you've used.

    Lovely pieces, that rocker is gorgeous!

    I have recently chalk painted a rocking chair, but now that I have varnished it it has gone yellowy in some parts, any ideas on how I can save it?!

    I really need your help.

    We have narrowed our sofa search down to Nabru but I just can't decide which fabrics would work well in a 'shabby chic' setting. I am colourblind so really struggle to choose colours and to know what 'goes' together. :(

    Take a look here to see all of the fabrics. Please, if you see something you like then tell me. I need as many opinions as possible!

    We have a dog so the really really light fabrics are out and we like the idea of having 2-tone so the base is a different fabric to the cushions.

    The aim is to get a couple of sofas or a sofa and chair here and then get a vintage armchair re-upholstered with some funky shabby fabric and make scatter cushions for the sofas from the same fabric to match.

    Please please help, it's driving me crazy!!!

    it drastically matters what colour your floors are and the direction the light is coming from.
    Whatever you choose I would think about throws or granny square blankets draped here and there. My cat sleeps on them and I whisk them away if a posh visitor arrives! And they are easy to wash or shake out.
