Superb result! Well done.
I did my dark oak kitchen over a year ago and it still looks great. I still feel so proud of it every time I go in.

I'm going to pick up a dresser tomorrow that I won on ebay for £10.50. I'm off to Homebase tonight to have a look at paint and new handles for it. Can't decide yet whether to paint it off white/cream, or a sage green.
Can't wait! I've been wanting a dresser for years.

I'll post before and after pics.

Oooh! I do hope this thread gets a new lease of life - I always loved it :j!

I did join the separate forum but (for me) it never really had the same feel to it as the one on here :sad:. Also, I can never get onto it - it always says my password, etc is not recognised :mad:.

Hi,
I feel the same, the seperate forum wasn't the same and I have stopped using it. We are much better here in our own little group I think !!!

I'm about to start a shabby chic dining room makeover. I'm lifiting a grotty old carpet and painting the floorboards, the walls will be a sagey green. I'm stripping the top of an old oak table I found in the cellar when we moved in, and painting the frame and chairs crea. The seats will be covered in cath kidston (or cheaper copy) oilcloth with a spotty pvc table cloth and I'll trim some plain cream curtians with a foot or so of ck fabric. I'm using little greene paint co paint as the colours are gorgoeus and the quality superb - and they do a washable matt paint - esential with small fingers about the place! Can't wait for it to be done...
