no one bought it! If anyone out there fancies it an email to the seller to see if they're relisting might sort you out!

my stomach is churning and I've got a sweat on...............I've found a sideboard on ebay that I've fallen in love with.It's local too.I've been looking at it all day.I have stuck tape on my kitchen floor with the measurements just to make sure it fits.....now I just have to wait until later tonight.I soooooo want it.I was like this with my rocking chair that now sits in the corner of my kitchen.I'm not going to start my wine until the auction is over.Fingers crossed everyone.
Oh and I'm not going to put the link in..don't want any more competition do I.

Hope you get it Molly, I have been that way too a couple of times........especially when I was watching my sewing machine....it did not sell, it had a reserve on and the chap sold it to me for the reserve....:D so I got it for £1500 it would have been £3499 if I had bought it new!!!! I could not wait to get it, I was so excited I almost burst!!!:T :T

Thank you.The price is going up.I need to decide how much I want it.£2 coin collection might have to come into play lol.

No idea if this has been posted on here already ( would never be able to find itif it has! ) so apologies if someone's already mentioned it - on the Farrow & Ball website you can order free up to 5 samples of wallpaper in the pattern and colour of your choice ( they come as A4 size pieces) ( no postage either). Maybe would be handy as a 'starter pack' for those thinking of doing the patchwork wall / cupboard thing, especially if you are painting the rest in F&B colours. They arrive very quickly ( next day or so) & quality is superb, wish I could afford to wallpaper everywhere with them. I'm toying with the idea of a feature wall in one pattern but even the mimimum order of 3 rolls is quite expensive alas...

Facepainter,

if you decide not to go the whole hog and paint the dresser, why not line the back of it in some nice wallpaper, or even oilcloth (which would be easy to keep clean), this could easily be taken down if you changed your mind, or changed when you got bored of it, without having to go the whole way if you are unsure.
