I like that sideboard dry. our kitchen dude is making me a larder pantry with big pan drawers underneath and wicker baskets (they have a local basket weaver who makes them to order, how very middle class is that??!). it's going to be a bit like this but spice racks only on one side as I want the other painted in blackboard paint for shopping lists and reminders

oh and am having these stools at the island for a tough industrial edge.

OneLittleLady · 14/09/2013 16:54

Very Envy of all the kitchen talk. Ours is tiny with no room for much in the way of improvement. My back is killing me, feels like I've twisted something in my lower back somehow, might try some gentle stretches later see if that helps, if not, I'll make an appointment to see the nurse and have them look at it.

Drywhiteplease · 14/09/2013 16:58

Love it foxy ! Bloody hell now I need my own personal basket weaver too!Grin. I know a cabinet maker who might be able to knock us up a sideboard like that, kind of awkward because he's a friend. I'm also going to wait to order a table and sideboard until I can actually stand in the space. I'd like a really big table, farmhouse style perhaps with painted bottom....have found a manufacturer just don't know about size.

I've spent last hour trying on, throwing on bed, boots on, animal slippers on,boots on , animal slippers on.....dry out but looking a bit grey. Sod it I'm having a drink and won't care nah,looks at clock, rude to drink before 6pm, back to footwear.

Have a good Saturday everyone.

Annianni · 14/09/2013 17:18

Novice Shock what are you like?!

Foxy gorgeous kitchen links.

Love the sideboard Dry.

Just shown dh the coat and he really likes it.
Now debating ordering the smaller size to try, but I don't think it will fasten comfortably over a slouchy sweater.

Annianni · 14/09/2013 17:19

Hope you've had a good day Grumpy.

Annianni · 14/09/2013 17:26

Thanks for the arm tip Foxy, I'll try it later.

foxysocks · 14/09/2013 17:44

actually I do have a (vaguely) fashion (ish) question - I am going to get some hunter wellies. do I get trad green or pink?

shopafrolic · 14/09/2013 17:51

Quick wave to all
bitch is wearing my coat Isn't it gorgeous?
Foxy lush kitchen and Yay for the MNV sweater! :) I can only do 60 seconds of plank about 5 times and then I die! Hmm
Anni Grin re: plank and well done on the decorating
Dry Flowers Have a fab party Envy - buy the sideboard - it could be the MNV sideboard :)
Novice slow down - you'll meet yourself coming the other way. I bet you rocked the neon.
Mom hope you are feeling better now - love the sound of your outfit
Marsha has work finished now or is there more next week? And how are the SE boots - the right purchase?

You're all lovely. Flowers

Anni sorry if I missed this but what did you decide on the coat?

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 14/09/2013 18:09

Still love that coat Shop.

More work next week and maybe the one after. I have a meeting on Tuesday morning, moved from Monday, I had to switch the Aveda hair appointment to the next day. The way my hair is at the moment I don't think I can wait an extra day Wink. And I had a lunch planned after hair so hoped it would look better oh blimey oh vogue.

I hope you have a lovely night and offer Cake and Wine to your growing pile Smile.

Santa and Sleep I love Frame skinnies too, hope to get some one day. Perhaps in the sales.

Really glad your dh loves the coat Anni it's fab, will be interested to know if you prefer the smaller size.

Foxy I'd say you could rock the pink, but maybe green?

shopafrolic · 14/09/2013 18:23

Sorry Anni skim reading - glad DH likes the coat too
Marsha I never lunch without having my hair done Wink
Not sure I can justify Pistols if I keep both coats so what do people think of these to scratch my brown / black boot itch?

Foxy I have some blue Hunters hardly worn in a 7 if you're interested I've PM'd you. If not, I always think of Katie P in pink Hunters so would say green........

OP posts:
Annianni · 14/09/2013 18:40

I have green ones Foxy.
I think you'd get bored of coloured ones.

Not too keen on those Shop, sorry.
Have you seen the shearling lined Pistol's on NaP that Eve worn out has?
They're gorgeous :o

Annianni · 14/09/2013 18:43

Hope you have a great night Dry Wine

Annianni · 14/09/2013 18:46

I forgot to say Shop, when you renew your car insurance, check what mileage allowance you have, compared to what you actually did last year.
If you can go down a 1000 miles or more, each level knocks a bit more off.

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2013 18:49

I say pistols too Shop. But how about the chestnut ones with the discount? Is that still going? Thought they looked great on you.

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2013 18:50

Oh and you really can say that you only do lunch after hair Grin.

santamarianovella · 14/09/2013 18:59

shop pistols,are you keeping the chloe?

Annianni · 14/09/2013 19:04

Good idea Marsha.
I vote chestnut Pistol's with the 30% off :o

If you get a make-do pair of boots, you'll still want Pistol's.

santamarianovella · 14/09/2013 19:12

ani i agree with you,make -dos are a bad idea,they make you realize how bad you want the real thing,and you end spending double,
