Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Enjoy matching furniture if that makes you happy. It's good to be happy.

I buy/find/take bits I like and nothing matches.

It's not the major things in life that bring happiness, but it is the odds and sods that raise a smile and that's wonderful

Somewhere in North Norfolk

Most of what's in my place is mismatched.

I've moved too many times over the past few years and have had to adapt to different spaces too often.

I'm not that fussed by it. As long as it does the job.

I like matching some things like my bedroom chest and side tables. Im big on upcycling too though.

Most of all i like solid old furniture full of charater. Got a farmhouse table and bought mismatched chairs. Painted them in pastles and covered the seats with cath kidston oil cloth. That was my fave project

I have never spent loads of on going out etc but i spend loads on my house!

Sort of but it's not getting very good press.

It's not an Ikea store like most, it's a place you can order stuff. However, most stuff seems to have to be delivered to your home and the charges are high.

Most people I know are still going to the stores at Milton Keynes, Lakeside or North London. In a reasonably economical car it's usually cheaper than what the Norwich Ikea want to deliver stuff.
