Alex, how's the decorating going? So, is the kitchen next?

It's gone pretty good, but **** ikea! The chest of drawers they delivered had a piece broken - it will take 2 weeks for a replacement unit (they can't do one part).
Got a guy coming on monday to take away old furniture then i'll have some space to play around with.

And yes, the kitchen should be next

We were in Bath recently and I went a little bit crazy in a wonderful shop called Maddie Brown's.  Our entire kitchen is now filled with Cath Kidston prints, all matching!  Looks quite nice if a little obsessive.   

Oh where was I... I saw the most beautiful wooden untensils I think from Denmark all handmade. I also have a small collection of baribocraft  large salad bowls/cheese trays/tray and small bowls as well. They are not made anymore so I buy on line every now and again.

one word....Microplane

Eilen, I was considering making some curtains to match the oven gloves, tea towels and apron, but finally I realised you can definitely have too much Rose Bloom.  I've ordered some Laura Ashley fabric now, a pale blue gingham.  Should do the trick.  Never made curtains before, any tips gratefully received!

TWR, I got some fantastic ancient scales.  They're not entirely accurate, and often need a sharp whack ("percussive maintenance") to unstick themselves, but they defo look good...    That's the main thing, eh?
