I've got a bog-standard chest of drawers in the bedroom that doesn't go with the other pieces and have been toying with the idea of using fabric to cover it (since painting it is out of the questio...

This might not be my favourite Ikea chair either, but that's not the point! A lot of effort and creativity has gone into this project! I love the patchwork upholstery too and I don't care HOW pop...

You're way off-topic with that comment, Ladymantle. This isn't about your address book. I organise my clothes, the contents of my 'work bag(s)' and my lunchbag the night before. It's...

I never thought it possible to get emotional over the 'welfare' of books but there really ought to be some kind of organisation out there that will kick down the door of anyone who treats books as ...

.... perhaps AT should do a feature on psychiatrists' couches, rosenatti!

OK.... I think that, even an amateur like me can spot the "Budget Bedroom" amongst that lot!!! The bed on the pontoon looks inviting, albeit, not exactly practical for someone who swims like a st...

Wow! Tsia, my only grumble is that there are not more pictures! Your home looks just amazing. I love the way it sits, amongst the trees, totally at ease with itself and its surroundings, if that...

Yes livc, you're right about it being sage. I think that it's fair to say that I'm definitely not one of those people! ;) lorijo.... did you say Voodoo dolls? =O Remind...

....oh, and did I mention that I even had to switch rooms......?

OH MY GOD! IS THAT A SMUDGE STICK NEXT TO THE SPIDER PLANT?!!? I used to share with a student herbalist who, returned home to find me traumatised (that's spelt in UK English, in case...

I love these colours. I've managed to bring in similar colours into my living room but the bedroom has, well, navy blue carpet.... yes, what the hell 'goes' with that, I've yet to find out. It cer...

I really like that wallpaper against the white walls etc, but I think I'd sleep more soundly with those cupboards behind the bed, rather than over it. Yes, I know it's irrational, (although, comfo...

Ermm... actually caiti, I think I'm one of those who prefers the 'before' look but I have nothing against painting furniture and am very impressed with the sleek paintwork (presumably a lot of prep...

Irony. Love it!

Peachpie, I was joking about playing music. I could have said that we kept ourselves entertained baking bread, whittling spoons, or reading back copies of Readers Digest. When I read the last sente...

I lived in the country for several years but we kept ourselves entertained by making music.

At least he didn't make you sit in the naughty chair!

Good Lord, the comments are back again, Patrick! Or, perhaps they never actually vanished.... either way, I haven't been this confused since Bobby Ewing stepped out of the shower..... ;)

I too love your kitchen, Catherine! It's really wonderful to see a kitchen with personality, if that makes sense! Put the kettle on, we're all coming to yours for a brew and a view! ;)

Thanks for that Patrick, I was also beginning to wonder if I'd imagined Replica's comment as well. Neither of ours warranted removal, which makes me wish I'd read the comments that came immediately...
