How to tart up my filing drawers?

I say hot pink, you say fuchsia!

I was going to say that if I can't put a lamp on the top, I may put a small crystal collection or some other equally wonderful spiritual display on there. (Sharing the space with my printer )

I say hot pink, you say fuchsia!

Yeah, except you spell it properly

You could cover the printer with a really nice cloth (when it's not in use) so you get like a stepped display.

BTW your avvy is *gorgeous*

THANKS MD! I love your avi too.

Lol, I used spell check, because I had about three attempts at it and couldn't quite get it right! fuscia... fushia.... Lol

I was going to cover the printer anyway (it is now), with something pretty. I can't put too much on the top of the printer as its the lid for the scanner (but atm its got a stack of picture frames and books on it, so it can't be too bad - I HOPE!). I'll have to have a play around with what I put there. I just realised, where its going to go is almost the dead centre of the house.... calls for it to be the centre of positive things for the house I think.

I was looking around online for a cherry blossom tree, found a couple... I will have to make a space outside to work on the cabinet too.

Just subscribing because I LOVE these ideas! I might have to think of things I have that need tarting up

[Netix]

Lol Jasp, just choose anything! Have a look at martha stewart dot com, in the home and garden diy decorating, and you might just have to redecorate a chair or two! I'm tempted...

You could use contact paper. I like snugglybeans idea with the fabric on magents. You can buy it in sheets.

Netix, How awesome is Martha?

I'm doing her foyer ideas, my entry hall is always cluttered and messy which drives me insane. I'm going to Ikea on Wed for some supplies........look out!!

I reckon you should go the fuschia with a black and light pink cherry blossom design and a beaded lamp on top. That sounds awesome.

[Netix]

I love Martha. I was going to go for that colour cherry blossom, with some white highlights to brighten it a little.

I haven't seen or heard of that fabric magnet stuff. Where do you get it from?

Was also thinking it would be nice to be able to let the kids put their magnets on it. Maybe. Would keep them out of the kitchen! The other thought I had was to cover the cabinet in timber veneer... oak or something else nice.... Still think I'll go fuschia though.
