Hi Daisy,

I'm originally from Warrington and there used to be quite a few car boots locally, Have a look in the local paper they're usually advertised there. HTH

Alternatively a fabric cover with a roll up front - like the cover on a mini green house or a fabric wardrobe. You could choose a fabric to suit and roll down the front (velcro or ties to hold in place) when you had visitors.

I was going to do this with an ugly fake wood laminate bookcase as the sewing is really straight forward.
Unfortunately my bookcase fell to bits when we moved it so I de-cluttered it off to be recycled instead!

My husband made me a gorgeous pine and hardwood welsh dresser with three shelves. The problem is that it's in our small sitting-room along with the oak dining table and oak bench and everything looks kind of, well, 'blokey'. At the moment I have some ceramics and a couple of teddy-bears on the shelves, and an old-fashioned type lamp on the table and I'm struggling to find truly money-saving ideas to make the room pretty and to soften the look.
I am wondering about house-plants but they would have to be hardy (Or plastic?) and the only plant I know that is both is the spider plant and they don't seem to sell them any more.

I would really appreciate your ideas.

Many thanks
Lesley

Triage beat me to it! I have been following the shabby chic thread for ages now and it is FULL of wonderful ideas. Lucky you having a great hubby to make you a dresser, does he want to make me one? LOL.
