vivw that looks amazing ... I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to tackle a project that huge. Looks fabulous though.

Have now finished the dresser. Will wait a while longer before I put bits on it as I want to be sure all the paint is dry.

I have just logged on to my local freecycle group and there are a set of glass topped tables offered! Have emailed so fingers crossed I might have a new project (when I've finished current one lol!)

Ooh lucky you!!

I really like this style of plate and I've come across them several times of peoples blogs.
Does anyone know whether they are a particular name or make? I usually keep my eyes open at the car boots and charity shops but rarely see anything like them.
Thanks in advance.

That's one of Cherry Menlove's photos and I remember her post about it here

She doesn't seem to mention the make but I'm sure if you leave a comment on her blog or email her she will get back to you.She really is very sweet.
She has her own forum too that you might like http://cherrymenloveforum.forumotion.com/login.forum?connexion

The paint used for my dresser was Craig and Rose 1829 range colour - tapestry green. I'm delighted with it. Its in my conservatory , where we have put the diningroom table. [we turned the diningroom into an office like space]
