I am so pleased you are all out there recycling furniture and using it in different ways. Thanks for all the ideas. What I have thought of doing is attaching a working top lower down and running a rail under it for hanging clothes and maybe the curtain ideas to hide. Then I will be able to use the w...

I know I cant believe how useful it is. I have always disliked very tall bedroom furniture and would prefer to source low level but can find none anywere on the net. I may look into having something built in. I am now desperate for deep drawer chest of drawers but the budget is tight at present and ...

Not long before I moved 16 months ago my old bedroom furniture ie wardrobecombination died a death (well it was very old) Hubby will not pay ridiculous amount of money on wardrobes that have what he calls paper thin backs to them which inevitably dont last.

I joined here just after I downsized into a GF flat but due to all the work we had to do and other problems I have not been able to come on site to chat. Also much to my embarrassment I had forgotten my username and although I have been reading most of your threads and really enjoying them I have on...

Hi Shirley thanks for the welcome.

Hi everyone, I have been busy reading the threads on this forum and find it very friendly and informative. So decided to join in. Although Im not completely green I am trying very hard. Im lucky that a friend has an allotment and I get to have surplus fruit and veg in exchange for looking after it w...
