New stuff

Remember a couple of posts back when I mentioned how much I loved the Pier 1 napkin rings in the hammered silver colour...well guess what I bought 6 of them! I love them. I also found a really neat old decanter at my local thrift store and I decided to buy some glass rocks and fill it, now it looks worthy enough to put in my home.


Pretty happy with myself right now.

Pier 1

I know I promised completed fence pictures... however my camera needs to be charged so instead, to hold you over, I will give you what I have on my wishlist for my backyard dining accessories. I may even be able to use them soon enough but first I have to complete the backyard reno and of course head over to Pier 1 and buy all this neat stuff!

Updates...

So I've changed a few small things in my bathroom, I still feel the colour just isn't quite right though...maybe a soft, silvery blue? Until I get the up the nerve to paint again (the paint is only 7 months old) here's what I've added/changed:

1. New framed photos
I took these while I was in Aruba and I thought they would be perfect for the bathroom, they have a very peaceful, serene and simplistic quality. I added some mattes that I found at Walmart, and they have a great little black border which really makes the pictures pop!

2. New accessories
I found some great bath sponges at Pier 1 and I couldn't resist! They remind me of a cluster of coral, only cheaper! so I added them to my apothecary jars, with my lovely bath bombs from Lush and voila instant update! Also I tried to keep everything in the jars the same colour so they wouldn't compete with each other, the neutrals are always so fresh looking in a bathroom.

3. Bath soaps, and salts
For the last touch update, I found some great looking bath products over at Winners and I couldn't stop myself, not only were they less expensive ( I love Winners!) but they are some simple, and I love that they can stand on their own as decorative accessories...also key is that they are neutrals just like my sponges and soaps, so they all work harmoniously together.
