Don't be impressed they are only the seat part- each chair seems to have 5,000 staples that need removing though 😩 Blanket is Persian Tiles- Eastern Jewels colour way. I've never done an actually kit before but it saved my brain needing to choose the colours 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of colours are you going for? very subtle little green Tusk (sort of grey warm white!) its the bloomin gloss thats nearly killing me !! the fumes😝 trying to paint the stairwell was a bit of a feat . Our stairs go in a c shaped spiral with the result that the top right corner is a nightmare...resorted to a brush on a stick!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stairs are straight but steep, I couldn’t do them and had to resort to getting someone else in to do them in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started using a teapot many years ago as a conscious attempt to slow life down a little. Now I couldn't do without it (although I do still make herbal/fruit teas with a bag in a mug). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
