HI ALL,  while the builder was busy i have been busy too i painted all the old kitchen cupboards minus the doors white to match the new colour scheme using a melamine paint.  These have made excellent shelving units to house my storage boxes and crafty stash.  I also bought a second hand little unit on wheels for £5 re painted it from a teak colour to black to match (the wheels on there own would have cost me more than that new!).  This will be used as a mobile unit probably for my grand calibur.  My husbands brain wave designed the ribbon holder and at a fraction of the cost of the specialised units you can buy.  The ribbon holders cost nothing the blocks of wood at each end were off cuts and the poles are fibreglass and given to me so happy days. A visit to the local kitchen fitters and i managed to get a length of black work top that has a couple of scratches that if you squint and stand on one leg you can just about see lol.  The worktop was a third of the price though god i sound like a right meany but every penny counts for us all at the min.  All that's left is to move it all back in again keep following for the last lot of photos now its finished thanks for looking.
