El Bandito

NOPE!

Great to see you Steel! Happy 4th!

Public Service Announcement No children were harmed in the making of this post. ;-)

There's porn on the interweb? So what are shopping catalogues for now?

Great work Mason! Two weeks is brilliant.

Family hail from Huddersfield. Rekindling golf. Toenail Polish. Can never reach my toes, so paint my knees. Frez flops. The flip flop evokes images of sun, sea, cocktails by the pool. Lots of sauntering, not rushing..reggae sounds. There is a lot to be said for the stylish, clean flip flop...

Welcome Aboard Jen! Most here had 'a practice quit' or two. What causes you to slip? Do you have a plan on how to deal with those circumstances next time? Read, post and soon you will be celebrating weeks, months and years as a non-smoker. Welcome!

Underneath all that black fluff is Nero. The bandit mini-schnauzer, who this evening felt like a bit of sheepskin laying...

Some MQ porn.... This is how you make coffee big boss!

Singer sewing machine which La Bandita's Mum used to use, now strictly ornamental!

That ornament is a crystal Riedel decanter! Frequently home to some big red wines! But you are right about the colour flow... In terms of doing it as a job. Do it. On Facebook, lookup Shabby Chic Restoration. Cat the owner is a total dude, single Mum who does all the stuff herself...I can put you guys together...

The room in the pictures was a separate dining room. We knocked through to the kitchen. We also knocked into the hall. So the whole space flows from kitchen through to eating through to staircase. We put in a brand new kitchen, new floors, new doors throughout the house. We converted a bedroom upstairs into a dressing room.... The main area downstairs is essentially layers of wood, creams, whites and blues...Coastal if you like. The drawing room or sitting room depending on how posh we are feeling is cream, with wood and some rich burgundies and reds I'll take some more photos when La Bandita isn't watching! But right now as for more...the bank account needs a rest!

The table and large unit were a dark cherry colour, very forbidding. The veneer was sanded off, the main body painted while in the table top there was some grain, which was lightly stained for a natural look. The small corner unit was pine, and was painted to match in. The chairs were painted and recovered with a Laura Ashley material (to match the curtains, which I'm told is important)

Testing...

Standby ...mustering my tech know how...god help us

Where there's muck, there's brass lad....
