Default i couldnt resist putting a bid on this
i know i couldnt resist putting a bid on this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

hubby thinks i have totally lost the plot( i lost that years ago)

but i thought for a £ or two it could be worth re-vamping...

i can imagine it painted in Dimity( the only make over paint i use...lol... with the top re-covered, and the drawers lined in pretty paper etc.


any other suggestions on how to make it over if i win it? i am not going to ask hubby that question, as i know waht the answer will be.....'firewood'...lol...

Think your suggestion of revamping it will look great.

(Was there ever a plot? If so what was it?)

i imagine it revamped as you suggest and then used at the end of a rail at a vintage fair - the top piled high with Welsh blankets and the drawers part opened and filled with scarves and gloves etc

Are you really an interior designer, I think so

It would be a good makeover CTC

Think it will look fab made over as you suggest and filled as Mitts says with pretty scarves and gloves spilling out of the drawers and those gorgeous welsh blankets on top.....will be stunning....

It must be lovely now that you know what you need to improve your selling area and can revamp to get it to all compliment each other
