Home and Garden,

What a wonderful project well done it looks amazing, what a clever person you are. I thought I had been good making my own trellis but those cupboards and doors are very good.

Well done..what acosy looking home you have :))))))) love ly rose too x

You are amazing....oh, how I wish I could do stuff like that...your house looks so warm and cosy and pretty! I should think hubby is pleased he has such a talented and creative OH!! :))

Thank you Olive, its good that you make your own trellis so much cheaper than buying.
Pixi and Karen much appreciated comments coming from talented artists, thank you.

Well done Stroller all looks lovely, I really like your chair in the 3rd pic !! rose looks lovely as well ....

well done, fab project you have done a great job your cottage looks really lovely, like the rose wish i could smell it. I do my own diy but it dont come out like yours!!!! i just stick a plant in front of the bit where i went wrong.

Ta Stripes, the chair is a boston rocking chair which is lovely to sit in when reading.
Cazcat, I`m sure your DIY comes up to scratch, when mine doesn`t turn out too good I always describe it as rustic.lol.

That looks fantastic - you don't want to pop round and so some for me, do you? I'd employ you any day of the week, love the combination of white doors and wooden top.

Terrific job with the cupboards, the room looks lovely and cosy, I can just imagine it on a cold night with the fire blazing!!

That's great ! Well done. It's a wonderful job. I'm hopeless at DIY.

Stroller you are amazing!
what a lovely room and your handiwork is just superb!!! i am very envious of your talents ~ and your cupboards!!!

Wow!!!!! wish I could do cupboards like that, looks really good. Sophie`s rose is very pretty, you`ll always remember its name, is that why you bought that one Stroller?
It has been absolutely gorgeous here, still warm even after dark...

Lovely cupboards, well done!

Just assumed you were male based on your projects, sexist I know. Fabulous job!!!

tut tut LIL! I do things like this too!

Oooooooo, pardon meeeeee!
Put a blog on and I'll compliment you.
Maybe if ALL the women blogged about their accomplishments, it would help me with my sexist thinking :))

right wen can you get here to do mine !! ewe are the same ................... never fin.................

lovely house - I do like the TVs on the brackets - great for room and viewing options - also love the brick fireplace - I caught a slight glimpse of you in the mirror :))) Great cupboard too - - nice work :)))))))))))))))))))

Dont mind at all Lil, as me mom would say - call me what you like as long as you don`t call me too late for me supper.lol.
Lincslass, yes thats the reason for buying it, trouble is we now have to find one called Laura and one called Zoe to avoid showing favouritism.
Hywel, you have talent with your pottery now I wish I could do that.
Thanks Libet, Sticki and Cristina your comments are much appreciated.

What an amazing talent, Stroller, your cupboards are beautiful! Great idea to show us on here . . . inspiring. :))

Well Lil ..I made the secret door..and my fence..and my pind..and my computer desk lol..would have to do a major tidy up here to show you that! lolol

Paul you are eagle eyed I didn`t spot me until you pointed it out.

I can't believe you did this yourself, you are so clever and what a lovely cosy room.Did you teach yourself or go to classes. I love your inglenook fireplace and log burner.We have one very similar but the fire which looks like a log burner isn't real.We also have a large driftwood mirror which looks very similar to yours.

Brilliant job ... well done, Stroller ... did you put the ceiling beams in too? You have a lovely 'cottagey' feel to your sitting room .. :o)))

great job by mr stroller haha, very cottagy, like it :o)

Your very creative!

Hi Rose, no I didn`t do classes whatever project I do I google first to get ideas - seems we have very similar tastes.
Shirley I didn`t put the beams in Terry did those for me.
Sandra Thank you for the comment, but stroller is a Mrs.
Thank you Adara.

Stroller, many years ago a delivery man asked if I would take in some beams for a neighbour ... I said ok but how heavy were they? ... When he picked up about ten in one go I realised they were 'fake wood' ... looked very real though! ... :o)))

Hi Stroller, what wonderful handiwork and your home looks very welcoming. I think your ladywife is so lucky to have you to do the D.I.Y. as I had to do the little jobs myself as my O.H didn't know a screwdriver from a hammer. In fact the boy's named the hammer ' the Irish screwdriver' after dad tried his hand at some handiwork. That say's it all!!!

Hi Bredakelly, I`m actually a woman the man sitting in the chair is Terry my husband, but thank you for your lovely comment.

stroller i know your a mrs i just miss read who had done the project, thought it was hubby, sorry, even better that you made them, good for you :o)

You put me to shame Stroller. I used to love diy but nothing as ambitious as this, brilliant:-)

Thanks Sandra and Ba, its lovely to receive such nice comments.

Oh..My !
I have a bench saw, a band saw, a router, a lathe, 3 different cases of chisels, 3 B&D workmates a full welding kit, a few drills and a drill stand....I have yet to put a shelf up....Shame prevents me from posting a picture.

Stroller, that is fantastic.

Very Clever Stroller those cupboards and shelves fit perfectly in the lovely cosy home; love your fierplace ;0)
