Had to google crewel... still need to google further to find out what that is/means... but I did end up here:

£99 !!!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crewel-Fabric-Monkey-Multicolor-Cotton/dp/B005QZXLIM

I have seen that one but it's another I like too,tough it's cool.?..hmmm..cannot find it now. I like this and would accept a print rather than a real crewel, but think it should be well represented in the price

We threw out lights that masquaraded as metal chandeliers, the last one only went last week; if I had known I would have kept it for you.[

I can imagine that chez lir. From the distance it looks like a normal antique style fabric, close up its bonkers.

ETA: the second is what you would get if you turned Rudyard Kipling into a pair of curtains.

Yep...bonkers.

I saw an amazing crewel about, oooh, ten years ish ( less but not sure when) ago with monkeys wearing clothes and doing capers. I loved it, but it was a fortune...cannot remember how much but A LOT.


Fwiw, I don't seek expensive stuff out.....I just happen to find it:o

I've decided that my dining room will be green and purple.

I bought these last weekend as I loved them. I've had my eye one them for a while in TKMaxx - they were on the clearance shelf last Saturday. I to sleep on it... couldn't see them when I went back on Sunday and my heart sunk a little bit But I found them hidden at the back of the shelf so I knew it was meant to be

I'll either have to start having dinner parties or I will just enjoy eating beans on toast in a colour coordinated way!

Pn, I like the first one here

We need two, but probably a little smaller, but not too tiny. Small lights are not lir-delicious. I might just get biggish ones. The twigs will be free.


I saw an amazing habitat chandelier at homebase that I like, very modern but I like the candles on it, but it's 170. I am looking more at 17 pe cheap light. I would spend more for nice candles though. But not 170 x two for me to glue twigs on to it.

A very nice builder and his team gave us the pink purple set for Christmas. I was overwhelmed:o. I had not even thought about it. Seriously, nice builders are super ice people.


I love green and purple together nikkster, ( but I also love orange and purple which scares lots of people):D

I think I have the most stark house of the NP lot here.

we have oak floorboards or cream/oatmeal carpet with magnolia walls. Curtains are marginally floral but nothing too bright. Cutlery is stainless steel solid and crockery is solid white.

:cool:

I have white tiles in my bathroom. and black sparkly granite in the kitchen.
