    The seller says "This table cloth is definatly shabby chic and is not new; if this is not a look you want to achieve I suggest you don't bid for ths item."

    I am about to buy the paint to use on my new kitchen doors. Has anyone used Fired earth paints? I have looked at the Farrow and Ball paints but can't find a green that I like

    I echo that. I Love looking at Haribo`s home pics. I rushed off down to Aldi this evening to get one of the quilts that she showed earlier.:o Haribo`s home looks great and i never tire of [strike]copying[/strike] collecting ideas from her pics.:D
