Hi

I'm using their water based eggshell at the moment to paint all my bathroom pine (medicine cabinet, towel rail etc) its a lovely paint and goes on really well. I'm using a brush and a roller and only applying very thin coats at a time.... Duck egg blue colour for anyone that is interested.....

Oh and for preparation I just gave it a quick sand.

brilliant thanks im so nervous about this nest of tables!!!

looked on that you tube video some one kindly posted so that was a great help

i looked at the f&b paint but its mega bucks! I had a voucher for homebase so bought the LA paint and wood primer

If anyone is after the patchwork quilts from Aldi, I have just bought three and they're lovely. They have the blue and the pink but also a cream one with little pink flowers and a multi coloured floral pastel one. I'll post some pics later.

Here they are.

I thought you might like to see the way I've decided to display some of my vintage Pyrex. I am trying to de-clutter and only keep what I will use often or I find beautiful.I never use these Pyrex plates so decided to display them instead.

I got a £7.50 money off voucher from eBay I used it to buy pack of self adhesive plate hangers.So they cost me £2.50 for 10.They are so much better than the wire ones as you can remove them without damaging the plate at all.

They look really pretty. What is the material you have at the side of the dresser, tablecloths?
