Lots of lovely stripes!!!

Well what do you know...its raining...again! Its been such a disappointing few weeks of weather, its so difficult to feel inspired by day after day of cold, damp, grey misery :-(. It's supposed to be summer!!!!!! I'd so hoped to do a car boot sale today as I seem to have acquired loooaaads of 'stuff' at my new found favourite place, the local auctions. Alas, tis not the weather for booting...fingers crossed for tomorrow morning instead.

Anyway...I have been pondering my Cath Kidston conundrum and think I have come up with a cute and un-costly solution...painted stripes.

Size of stripe and colour are still undecided...what a shocker!

I have been avidly following lots of my favourite blogs and its seems everyone is all about the stripes at the moment! Will post some lovely piccies once I figure out how too, ooo and will post some pictures of my current ugly duckling transformations = ugly dark brown furniture.

Hope I have referenced the photo's correctly, please let me know if not :-)

Bye Cath Kidston...Its not you it's me...

We've not been getting on lately, me and my Cath Kidston wall that is. Its not that I don't absolutely love it, but it's just not right...It make's our lounge look like a bedroom which is not the look I was going for at all! And I haven't been able to get the flutters right either...it's got to go...

But what to replace it with???

It takes me so long to decide on things that I fear this may take me as long as choosing the CK in the first place did...
