Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 The builders are cracking on here in the Curran household, so we are now at the stage of looking for stuff for the boys rooms ( DH finally got paid for some work he did last summer so we can also actually buy the things!). It's the first time the older two will have had rooms of their own, so they are keen to have lots of input - so the question is, does anyone know of good sources of children's bedding, lampshades, borders, stickarounds etc - we have the Urchin catalogue but that's about all.

Also a trip up to Clifton Moor will give you a large B&Q as well. If you do it on Sunday then you could pop into the NCT sale at English Marters church hall. Otherwise IKEA have a good selection.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 > The builders are cracking on here in the Curran household, so we are now > at the stage of looking for stuff for the boys rooms There's some nice boy's stuff in Mccords - can't remember the web address but they do have one. i was looking for stuff last night -especially bunk beds as DS2 refuses to sleep in his own bedroom so we are giving in and getting bunks for them in DS1's room (they have to sleep in the same single bed - nothing we do can prise them apart). We had the builders in today - knocking out all the windows and replacing them with new wooden ones - what a mess in the house! I can't even go and have a nice relaxing bath as I'll have to scrub out the bathroom first There is still tons to do - 2 more windows plus all the finishing off, and they can't promise to come back on Monday.

IKEA sometimes do some jazzy stuff - i.e. not 'childish', so you won`t have to replace it at puberty, unless you want to ;-) Guess you would have to visit to see the range, catalogues aren`t much help as their range varies from month to month.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Our membsec has builders in ATM doing major work (new kitchen, including roof coming off, extending into garden and garage etc etc). She's had to set up a temporary kitchen in the garage which is teeny weeny and the only way to get to it from the house was out the front door, into the front garden and into the garage. Imagine that for 8-12 weeks. Then they have had event after event. First the rain came through the temp kitchen roof and flooded the dining room (which wasn't anything to do with the building works), then they found a well in the bit of the garden they were to build on, and the worse bit was when they build a dividing wall but forgot to put the door in To say she's stressed is a bit of an understatement.
