I sold some odds and sods on ebay so had a bit of Paypal play money....
Just won this for DD's room so I can finally get rid of the ghastly pink monstrosity of a ballerina quilt she had before!

Ooh that will look lovely.I was looking at the blankets on my girls beds the other day thinking they could use something prettier.I'll have to dig my bag of bargain eiderdowns out.They all need patching up in some way but hopefully they will look lovely.Eventually!

For all those who may not have seen it.
I've been back to look at this so many times and I really want one but as ususal it's probably too late as they have soared in price and popularity.
Well done Haribo, great job. I'm amazed at the storage and all 'up' the wall so much better than wall cupboards.
I'm green with envy:D

And this is it on Saturday Morning. The mincer on the top left is my lovely present from the lovely Pink-winged. And the jar on the top left is Aussielass's famous green tomato chutney. :drool:

Oooh thats beautiful Haribo Junkie, what a brilliant job you have made of it, thanks needmoney for the piccy too my gran used to have a big yellow unit like yours with a pull down work surface until her kitchen was updated & then it got thrown away I used to love that unit & was always amazed by how much she could fit in it!

They look much nicer than the overly shiney, plasticky looking fake mahogany

That's a cool idea VP.... only DH would immediately replace the roses with William Morris paper!

I am tempted to bid myself as it's not too far away.It would mean getting rid of some very usefull open shelving in my utility room though so not sure whether to bother.Ummm...???
I really wish I had room for this

I know it's been mentioned before but seriously how can it only go for so little?I hope it gets more bids towards the end.Unless one of you guys are bidding!!

Thanks everyone for inspiring me. My dresser is nearly finished - just the top doors and drawer fronts to do now. I can't wait to be able to get some bits and bobs on it. Even OH is impressed.
