Really happy; they look goodLove those tiles
It’s impossible to really capture colour, isn’t it? It is for me, anyway. Slightly odd light at the moment, making this look more peachy than it is. The other photos are closer to the dusky pink it is.

So far, so good!Gorgeous. I hope the Kabbess is pleased with it.
My curtain buying philosophyHave you had a look in Dunelm?!
My sister got very obsessed with some fabric remembered from our childhood. I managed to find an exact replica by a brand called Lee Jofa, whereupon she realised it wouldn't actually go with her decor.The radiator got reattached today too

I need to make shelves for the interior of that wardrobe, I need to build a wardrobe in an alcove and we need to get the bed back in, which is not a small job.
And the kabbess needs to get curtains. This is a Major Job. Two years ago, she bought some bits of vintage French chateau drapes, but hesitated before buying the whole lot and somebody got in there first. She’s been kicking herself ever since because now she is obsessed with getting That Exact Material. So we’re going to have to first find someone who can make material that replicates these vintage drapes before we can even begin to think about finding someone to make the curtains…
I laughed, but it's really annoying if you've been through all that effort just for her to say oh no that doesn't work at allMy sister got very obsessed with some fabric remembered from our childhood.

Not really. It's the kind of task I enjoy. I guess the point is sometimes we get fixated on what we think we want and then we get it, and it doesn't really work for us. There are many lovely things in life which can make us happy.I laughed, but it's really annoying if you've been through all that effort just for her to say oh no that doesn't work at all
That makes a lot of senseNot really. It's the kind of task I enjoy. I guess the point is sometimes we get fixated on what we think we want and then we get it, and it doesn't really work for us. There are many lovely things in life which can make us happy.
Yes!I laughed, but it's really annoying if you've been through all that effort just for her to say oh no that doesn't work at all
Of course, it's just a suggestion.I will make representations to that effect, ta. I have no power in these things, though, so cannot say whether or not your offer will be taken up!
