I've got a small car but with the roof bars on we've transported many a table, bed frame, wardrobe, and squeezed in chests of drawers inside the car where it's so tight I have to drive with my nose pushed up against the windscreen :)<br />Love the French style dresser, now that was a real bargain. One of my best finds was an original 1930's French armoire which all came apart to be transported so up onto the roof bars it went....it cost £10, don't know why it went so cheap. I'm still undecided whether to paint it, it's a lovely piece of furniture as it is but they do look good painted.<br />Thank you for nominating me for the Leibster award, I will get around to it, you're very kind.

The other two are second hand with new mattresses and pretty much everything is from ebay, fleamarkets and charity shops. xEmma Kate at Paint and Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186765005284249653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-73095837879068484812013-02-14T08:35:21.928+00:002013-02-14T08:35:21.928+00:00We are table twins!

Seriously, 99p for a french style dresser?? It's gorgeous, too bad it was too small. Been meaning to ask, where do you buy Annie Sloan paint?
