Blue Pallet?

When the travertine tiles were delivered, they arrived on a very heavy large blue wooden pallet

This pallet is too large to fit into our car to take to waste tip, and as yet no one has "stolen" it from our back yard! 

I wonder if we can "up-cycle" it ......what a brilliant idea!

Ebay Selling!

Yes you read the title correctly! Ebay Selling!

Having a clear out of things no longer needed for the cottage renovation - and also to make space inside the cottage, as we complete work on the rooms find I am moving tools and materials into smaller space each time.

Having bought a complete cream painted kitchen, my bargain B&Q beech kitchen is no longer required

This white wooden fireplace surround is surplus to requirements (we bought it with the cast iron fireplace now fitted in the sitting room)

These travertine tiles were left over from bathroom tiling - only approximately 3 square metres left but someone should find a use for them

Getting nearer to a kitchen....

In 2011 I posted a picture on the blog of my "dream" kitchen...see photo below

I think we may have found something very similar -

Our latest purchase, a set of kitchen units and appliances painted cream finish, which will hopefully be fitted into the L shaped part of kitchen to right side of french doors

Sofas for the Sitting Room

Decided to have some squishy comfortable relaxing sofas in the sitting room...opted for the Mood range from SCS in an aubergine main colour range - now just need to find some curtains to co-ordinate with them.

This is a "snuggle" chair!

Bedside Cabinets

One of our latest purchases for the bedroom, with matching mirror

They do need some restoration -- quite shabby chic!
