My son decided to do some DIY renovations to our dining table and chairs. After hours of sandpapering, priming and painting he walked into the room looking sheepish and informed me that it would be a better idea to buy them. I asked him if he wanted to go with me to the furniture store and he just smiled and said that he would bring the store to me. And with that said he opened his computer, typed www.fashionforhome.co.uk and immediately I was lost in my first experience of online shopping.

He left me to browse through the vast range of chairs on the website. It did not take me too long to find the dining table and chairs that I wanted. I called my son in and showed him the one that I had selected. A click of the button and the purchase was through, with me sitting amazed at the ease of online shopping.

He decided to continue with more DIY renovations around the house but now he knows what he is doing. Painting the house, by the way, is among the top most wishes of most DIY enthusiasts. Since my son was never the type to do DIY projects, I was curious as to what had started him on it. He said that he was inspired by a lady and proceeded to show me a news article on the computer. After I read the article, I picked up a paint brush and asked my son to teach me how to do a DIY paint job.
