aaahhhh thanks
Trouble is I did it for her birthday which isn't till August but I will probably end up giving it to her on Friday as I can't wait that long!!!!! :rotfl:
It didn't cost me anything as the felt came from my fabric stash and I think infact she passed the frame on to me ages ago!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Still its the thought that counts.....

Last time I painted my kitchen doors I used quick drying satinwood and found it really hardwearing. Unfortunately this time I can't find a satinwood colour I really like and was going to use craig and rose eggshell which I 've used it on my dresser. However whilst its fine on the dresser I'm not sure it will be hard enough wearing for the kitchen cupboards. Any suggestions, folks?

I'm using Crown waternased eggshell on my cabinet and don't like it at all, I don't like the way it goes on it just seems too thick somehow and I don't think it's tough enough either.

i phoned to find out where my samples were, and the woman on the phone said she had a few phone calls, people asking where their samples were... so she told me to email her direct with what samples i wanted and she would personally send them out.

you can contact her direct on

[EMAIL="kaya@cathkidston.co.uk"]kaya@cathkidston.co.uk[/EMAIL]

hope that helps...

I have used the Craig and Rose 1829 Authentic Period Colours range Acryllic Eggshell (Swedish Blue)on my kitchen island unit and it is standing the test of time very well.In fact it still looks like new 18months later.Unlike the kitchen units themselves for which I used Kelly Hoppens acryllic eggshell which will need to be painted again soon!
