My 'list' (you know the one in your head that is always getting longer as you see something new that causes your creative cells to vibrate uncontrollably) has two things ticked off...YAY!
The local Church end of year Fete supplied a fabulous vintage round piecrust mirror for our ensuite renovation! Just the right size and with the right amount of foxing. I have been looking for a while let me tell you. And as most of you agree, budget is non existent so patience is the key here. The good news was that it cost a grand total of $15.00. Weighs a ton though but thats my builders (Husband) problem ;)
I am very exited!
Here it is reflecting the very attractive plastic bag...mmmmmmm

The walls are being tiled in white Johnson brick tiles.
And! I have finally finished my footstool Re-Vintage! (months in the making, always something more important needs to be done...)Take one crummy garage sale buy footstool, strip it back to the bones, then re-cushion and pad. Then let my imagination go wild!! Made totally to please myself. Had to do something with my piece of loopy chenille and had to team it with the exquisite Vintage Pink Rose Polished Cotton from my sweet sweet friend Monique at Original Mischief. The Queen of Barkcloth and groovy fabrics!
Will be selling it though as it is not in style with the rest of the house! (Helps pay for our reno too)
Its actually nothing more than a slip cover when all is said and done....
