    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    Very tasteful rooms. Did you buy the striped lampshade at ikea, I see you have a lamp stand from there if I am correct, we have a table lamp base the same shape from there. bedroom looks really cosy.

    All the lamps are from Ikea (except for 2 small white candlestick ones).

    dizzy lizzy - thanks for the link. Some beautiful stuff on there. I loved the Friendship tea bags.............think I could make one of those for my sons birthday box. He lives so far away and haven't seen him for a while. He's an avid tea drinker............I'm sure I can create something out of an empty box, pop in some tea bags.

    I've just sat & read this whole thread lol the photos are fantastic. I love the style but I think its 1 of those things I will admire from afar. I just couldn't make it look right.
    I am in love with the Family picture frame though. Any idea where I could get 1?
