many thanks...

I would say Cath Kidston but I am a avid fan!

Have you checked out this site http://www.wallpaperdirect.co.uk/

They have loads & loads of different papers and have a whole section dedicated to country cottage look.

You can send for a max of 2 free samples which are A4. I have sent for a couple, I will let you know what they are like when they arrive.

Thank you all! I definitely wouldn't have started the chair if it hadn't been for this thread and it's lovely to have rediscovered something.

I bet you wouldn't have started on the chair if you'd known how many staples you'd have to take out

the web page won't allow me to click on the wallpaper samples...

some of these look amazing, but i don't want ot spend that much on a roll of wallpaper and then find out that i need to repaintmy walls, or that is has a horrid texture...

hmmmm will have to try back later...

OK, so I'm starting to think seriously about making a kitchen blind and recovering my dining chairs. Where's the best place to get good fabric online? I had a quick look at Ebay but I don't really know what I want so could do with somewhere that's a bit more browser-friendly.

Fab: do it! It's a fun thing to do. Really easy to line - I've posted pics of how I did it on my blog so take a look if that'll help. Total cost of everything was £6, and I needed exactly 1/2 metre of fabric (which I got in a LA remnant bin). A totally MSE project.
Clutterfree: Yep, I've got matching but contrasting fabric to make a cushion - it arrived yesterday, and looks yummy. I'm very excited about that.

During my de-cluttering I came across some oddments of mdf -just the right size to make shaker-style pegs............does anyone know of a site with a few ideas on for these ? Thought I could maybe do them for pressies.
Also how do you paint mdf ? Does it need some special preparation or can I just put emulsion/gloss or whatever on ?
