ah dont worry about him - heck i love it and even i got my words mixed the other day and said i was after some shaggy sheep stuff!! :rotfl: (quickly rectified it and it was only to my sister but we still fell about!)

:rotfl: I'm always saying things like that. Im finally turning into my dear mother who often got her words mixed up, like when I asked for Cannon and Ball paint at my local diy shop:o. On Sixty Minute Makeover ITV yesterday the family getting made over wanted rid of the orange pine bedroom furniture!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish i had lived near them when they put them in the skip. Mind the camp designer did say you could paint them white if you can't afford to change them.

'Shaggy sheep':rotfl:Love it! Now if OH had said that I might have been worried about what he was thinking about:p

My husband refers to the look as "Wicker Baskets and Sh*t". An expression that came from Vic Reeves "Catterick" programme when according to him his wife wanted to go to the garden centre to look for wicker baskets and sh*t!!

It looks lovely. Like everyone else on here, I just love the colour. I bet it looks lovely in the conservatory, like bringing the outside in.

I had alot of fun dressing my new dresser last night too!

Looks brilliant viv - now why is it you can do a dresser so quickly and its taken me since Friday to paint a small cupboard ? - and I still haven't finished yet ! Going to put the dark wax polish on yesterday and it had gone all hard so its currently sat on the radiator and I'm hoping it'll soften up enough for me to finish it this afternoon,
Then I'll need OH's help to put it where I want it to go..........so might be tomorrow now............lol

Have i just been totally stupid, resisted a rag/ peg rug in our local oxfam shop. Really wanted to get it but it was made out of mainly sweatshirt type fabric. If it had been more cotton strips in it i wouldn't have hesitated. Are rag rugs shabby chic? Alway's promised myself i would make one and it seemed defeatist to buy one.
