Wrought Iron Beds
Dispite problems with my Facebook page since the update I managed to come across this fab website for interiors – Eclectic Interiors. It seems to be a real home grown affair run by Selina Gettins where she restores, paints and renovates antique furniture – a real Irish Cottage Industry!

All of the pieces are antiques and one of a kind – just the kind of vibe you want in your pre-loved cottage. Their website is www.eclecticinteriors.net and you can call Selina on 087 6827348.
Little touches that make a home...
I love Eclectic Interiors too and live only 5 miles from Castlecomer, Seline does great stuff with her paintbrush 🙂

Where can I find an old dresser in need of repair either in Donegal or Carlow
Hi Margaret, apologies for the delay with this reply – I’ve moved houses and don’t have any internet access at the moment – have to run into coffee shops to email! The best way to find old furniture is on the likes of websites like Jumbletown, Gumtree or Done Deal. Another good option is to look into furniture auctions, though competition can be fierce there. You could also try putting up an ad in the local papers or notice boards, scouting second hand furniture stores and charity shops like the St. Vincent De Paul as they get a lot of… Read more »
