    Catherine, Your home is coming along so nicely! The little side table is perfectly warm and cottagey!!! I love it 🥰 I have been following you for a couple of years now and I am just amazed how far you have come with the garden and cottage. You are always creating and doing.... so inspiring. I must also add that I love that you are so true to yourself! Everything you do has harmony.

    The fabric might be pretty sage green with small check. Just a thought. All your little found treasures made me laugh. We have been putting down new flooring, and every time we moved a heavy piece of furniture we found the cats toys. She likes anything little that she can carry in her mouth and slap around the floor until it disappears. Wow dod we find a lot of her goodies. I am always getting a nroom handle and pulling things out but apparently I missed a few. Ha.I cant wait for the flower show. Last years was so pretty. 🌺🌲🌺

    Delighted your sofa covers washed ok, Catherine. There are sachets you can get to put in when washing anything colours you think might run. It's called "Colour Run", they're great. Also drying things inside-out if drying outside 👍 Your sitting room makeover turned out beautifully 😍 also the stool. And the mirror is great in its new space. It might even catch the sunlight 😊

    • @DaintyDiaries
      @DaintyDiaries  ปีที่แล้ว

      That is a great tip for drying and the colour run sheets, thanks so much for sharing x

    Very fancy stool❤. I think you have to write the date when you made it. My father past away 13 years ago and its still nice to look at his wood art and his own hand writing when he made an item.

    Well done! A trick for new wood is using a conditioner sort of preps the wood for stain! Helps the stain to take cleanly! Love your stool and wow that’s a great class to learn numerous techniques, hats off for the instructor

    When you mentioned your clothes drying rack being in greenhouse it made me think of my retractable clothesline and clothes rack and how perfect the greenhouse would double purpose as a solar dryer! That could be a selling feature for greenhouse so the term "hanging out" in greenhouse would also be dual meaning.
