Shabby Chic Thread?

I've just noticed that the ebayer with the expensive kitchen cabinet has relisted it - at £150!! Still rather too expensive to my mind.

evening all !!

just wondered if anyone had any more photos of their projects for me to have a nose at..
ive started to look at the same things twice now !!!
anyone going to start shabby chic'ing their gardens ???
ive already bought some nice lanterns and some wall tiles from the charity shop.. just want it to start being a bit warmer so i can go out there and do my thing!!!

I've been trying to get a little glass cabinet painted but with the kids on school hols it's slow going.I have been rearranging the yard too and trying to design a summer house type thing for the bottom of the garden so we can use it all year around.I'll try and post some pictures soon.

Maybe the buyer brought it back! Maybe he has a job lot of them like this guy ! Maybe they are incredibly rare in Surrey. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Saved it to my ebay again!

If you haven't painted furniture before this
is a fabulous little book, she; gives really down to earth advice, I've had it for years but the basics are still the same. I think she may have done a new one now but I would still buy this one.

I remember Anne McKevitt and Tessa Shaw on 'Home Front'. Does anyone else?

I'm pretty sure that this one is the same as mine. The glass is identical.

If only that was close to me I'd love it,

No bids I wonder if it will rocket towards the end?
