Hi
Sorry last bit of help needed.
I can't decide which drawers to get , the mango wood ones with the distressed iron handles and iron base or the oak ones with distressed iron handles ?
My floor is oak so the oak ones will probably match better BUT the oak ones are £1300 for each set of drawers and the Mango ones £600 so half the price .
Will the Mango wood ones look on my oak floor ? I have attached a pic of my bedroom and one of each of the drawers.
Please tell me which one you think you prefer if they were the same price .
Thanks so much
Greg

Comments (14)Greg think you have made a great start, just needs a few colourful statement pieces. Firstly the chest of drawers are fab, my suggestion if you like them would be to utilise them in the lounge either side of the radiator under the window, for storing what looks like cd's the other side of the fireplace in these. You could put the existing cubes either side of the two sofa's. I would ditch the rug in the lounge, and get something bold and bright such as cobalt blue with orange/yellow. In the bedroom, keep the IKEA drawers and paint them either black or dark blue and have them adjacent to each other on the back wall opposite the bed, with the TV on top as someone has already suggested. The art work is great, but would swap it over to where the mirror is and move that elsewhere. Again ditch the rug, maybe an animal skin would work well in here, keeping a masculine feel. Pick some of the colours from the artwork for a well chosen throw and cushions for the bed, and don't be afraid to use some other accessories such as vases, lamps and dare I say candles!...See MoreHelp please! which door should i get rid off?

Comments (17)Thanks Isidora. It's the discussion of the finer details which helps actually ! I think , having looked again in person, that the one larger D cup actually looks fine against the round knob...perhaps it is the 2 together which make the knob look a bit lost, as the eye sees so much metal on top then this small knob below. My partner also prefers the fancier D cup so I'm going to just fill the holes. You can only barely make out where the holes were on the big doors - you have to get up real close and scrutinize it, so I think my filling and sanding skills are actually pretty good. I was just trying to avoid more labour as the whole painting-the-cupboards was a bloody nightmare (I did them grey, didn't like it, so had to go around with white 3 times !) Thanks everyone for the input, it has helped me to clarify things....See MoreNeed help with pine drawers
Comments (9)I would go with sanding with an orbital sander to start, with nothing coarser than 120or 150 grit, finish with a fine grit on a belt sander following the grain. Orbital sanders leave circular scratches which are visible at some angles. As an alternative you can finish by raising the grain with an abrasive filament wheel (http://www.silverlinetools.com/en-GB/Products/Power%20Tool%20Accessories/Filament%20Brushes/218250) once again folowing the grain, finish with a varnish of your choice, Danish oil, Tung oil or a good beeswax finish. If you want to change the colour of the wood (darker) then use a wood dye, everythng called a stain nowadays is some type of varnish with usually a finely powdered colour in it, quicker but limited to brilliant, satin or matt, whereas with a dye you can apply the finish of your choice. http://www.jpennyltd.co.uk/shopping/start.php?browse=1&cat=25 Be sure to mask and cover the painting below that you have already done. If you have dents in a wood surface as opposed to scratches it is often possible to bring them out with one or two goes over with a steam iron with a piece of rag between. DO NOT try this on varnished or French polished wood only bare....See More
