Re: Ideal Homes- Show Us Your New Purchases!
I like the Made one the best out of those. The drawless one looks a bit garden furniture, and the Cotswolds one is a bit country cottage.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

I quite like the second option, Smal, but given the price difference, I'd be sorely tempted to buy no. 4, a tin of gold spray paint and maybe some nicer handles.

Of those links, I like the Made one best too. I’m sorry the other one doesn’t fit :(

Re: Ideal Homes- Show Us Your New Purchases!
I just bought this desk after a lot of discussion. S found a gorgeous vintage one online and we were about to buy it after having checked courier costs and it was sold about 10 mins after we called
This one will be good for our current space though and it can always end up as a desk for one of the kids:

Not a new purchase but I finally got round to having this £10 gumtree chair recovered. The original cover was dirty and a yellowy colour so I had a cover made that I can take off and bung in the washing machine.
The fabric was a duvet cover from asda!

That’s really lovely. My friend is doing an upholstery course at the moment, she said it’s addictive and she wants to recover everything .

Re: Ideal Homes- Show Us Your New Purchases!
I’ve bought a few things. The biggest things are new sofas for the living room (two of them) I really wanted them in navy velvet but MrE didn’t. And I lost that argument. And this dining table. I was planning on getting yellow leather chairs with oak legs to go with them, and have had them pinned for ages and now they have been discontinued and are out of stock

I’ve now been and done more shopping and have bought these chairs for the dining room. And these stools for the breakfast bar.

Re: Ideal Homes- Show Us Your New Purchases!
I'm thinking of getting some cotton ball lights for the living room. I've got cable and cotton ones in W's room and they're lovely, but I'm baulking at the cost a bit (£40 for a set of 35).
I'd get this colour way if I got them (in case my selection doesn't come through its Prussian Blue, pale blue and white) https://cableandcotton.com/choose-your- ... ssian-blue
This company do 35 for £32- https://www.cottonballlights.com/uk/make-your-own (I'd chose dark blue, white and baby blue)
or this ready made set on ebay is £13.89 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-30-Balls- ... 0005.m1851
But the colours are a bit harsher?
I can't decide, I've looked at them too many times today already.

I really like Cable & Cotton so get theirs, but check for a discount code. There usually is one on their FB Page.

I really want to get some balls too, for Liv. I was looking at the rainbow or sunset ones on cotton and cable.

Re: Ideal Homes- Show Us Your New Purchases!
Good idea, they're only doing it off specific colour sets at the moment though. I'll follow their page and wait for a generic code to come up. Its not like I need them urgentlyPippedydeadeye wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 1:01 pm I really like Cable & Cotton so get theirs, but check for a discount code. There usually is one on their FB Page.

That looks so useful! What will you put in it?
Our desk is arriving tomorrow and I need to buy a chair
