I have always been attracted to the Carmel-by-the-Sea houses designed by Comstock...the interiors are often decorated casually, with comfy sofas, chairs, maple & cherry furniture and nature-inspired art and accessories. Big fantasy. In real life, we are retired on Cape Cod, Massachusetts and live in a 1200 sq.ft. condo one block off a large town's Main St. and two miles from any beach. Except for the building and location, we have the rest...not sure if our decor is English casual, English coastal or ???, but I wouldn't change it, except to buy better quality sofa and chairs.

netschwester. Thank you for your lovely comments. I used 2 coats of a good primer/undercoat that didn't need any sanding beforehand.The dresser was a very dark wood with a very shiny lacquer and it covered really well. I then used 2 coats of Colortrend Satinwood paint in Ice House and Milk Teeth. I got the glass knobs online for a great price (12 for €20). I'm delighted with the result and everyohe else seems to like it too. Good luck with your piece. Once you get started you'll enjoy it and the finished article will give a great sense of satisfaction. Show us some pics when you have them.

Can I get ready made curtains for wider windows 4.5m track

I have a bay window which is 365cm wide. Over the years I found wide enough curtains at Dunelm, but they don’t seem to do this size anymore. I also made my own curtains once. It wasn’t difficult but quite laborious. I found a cheapish plain fabric, joined it up to increase the width, hemmed it all round, then attached heading tape. They looked pretty good. Eventually, I ordered made to measure curtains at Laura Ashley which I still love. They cost around £550 for the bay window. One thing you could do is buy two pairs of curtains (so 4 individual curtains). When they are open you will not see the gaps, or maybe you could tack them discretely together? Just an idea.

Hi, I've had leather sofas... wouldn't get them again. They look great and are easy to clean, but if you are someone who gets cold easily and don't like the feel of cold surfaces in the winter you will cringe every time you sit on them in the winter. (I'm guessing you have wood burner because your house gets cold) and if you are someone who is generally hot all the time then in the summer when your're wearing shorts and t-shirt you will stick to them and they will make you very sweaty leaving wet patches as you get up. The worst is when guests leave wet patches where their bums have been! Once the sofa has been worn in a bit and the seat area gets a tiny bit saggy as they all do, you will find yourself sliding into the sag. You will find yourself pulling yourself out each time you get up, especially in the bigger sofas. An occasional chair as in Sonia's picture I think is fine or if they are in a secondary room. Not to mention repair costs if you manage to damage the leather. Regarding cleaning sofas then we bought a upholstery and carpet cleaning machine. (The house had very light cream coloured carpet throughout when we moved in) It works great. We never had a problem with fading or any extra wear and tear.
