I recently bought an old kitchen stool for £1 which had wood effect Fablon stuck on top (probably from the 1970s!), when I laboriously peeled it off I discovered a lovely shade of red, chipped but very vintage looking. I left as it is but I'm sure visitors to my house might look at it and wonder why I've got that tatty old thing in my kitchen!Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622219985656850271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-85507627066005658332008-06-27T14:51:00.000+01:002008-06-27T14:51:00.000+01:00It's just beautiful, a fantastic rescue job.

Its newer but came to us from a colleague of my dad's who was going to send it to the tip too. It's my new potting table and perfect for lunch on the patio, must blog about it soon. <BR/><BR/>I've got some great female friends who are in their 60s/70s. Our new neighbour is a wonderful lady who was a journalist during and after the war and once dated some of the Australian cricket team players in the 1940s! Our chats over the hedge, nattering about gardneing turn up some real revalations!<BR/>Enjoy a long bath and your new table.<BR/>Stephx (blimey, sorry for going on a bit there!)Curlew Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743251099471763243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-67601814312493069442008-06-25T19:22:00.000+01:002008-06-25T19:22:00.000+01:00Just stopping by quickly to let you know that I've...Just stopping by quickly to let you know that I've moved blog homes, you can now find me at:<BR/><BR/>http://catondarlingandmoore.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/> Hope you can drop by sometime, I'll be back soon to catch up with you.cd&mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652385597464634144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-78865558896718168312008-06-25T17:47:00.000+01:002008-06-25T17:47:00.000+01:00Wow!
