I prefer old furniture, my flat pack days are over, Ikea fills me with horror (aside from the fabulous assortment of herrings, the meatballs and Daim bars) As I generally fail to grasp the concept of fit screw B in fitting A, I buy my furniture ready made. Charity shops are great for this, there is one opposite the shop that has had some gems. I purchased these bedside drawers at the weekend, it's a fine line between fabulous and not so sometimes and I can't quite decide if they work. It doesn't help that they are actually quite low, and me being a princess and all, my bed is very high, they do however have the most charming Bakelite handles.
Whilst I mull it over they are sitting in the shop window.
Other things being mulled over
Is Shakira really only 4'11''?
Nigel Slater, like his recipes, not sure about the television programme
Julia Mackenzie....is she just annoying as Miss Marple? I think it's the voice
Christmas...there I have said it.
Did I dream my smoke alarm going off at 5.09am?
3 bad hair days in a row, surely tomorrow will be the day it all goes right?
