Give me the Gears

I was out to my favourite shop today, Penney & Co. in Whitby,  to purchase some gears.   I saw them on my last visit, but didn't know where I could put them.   I decided today they would be perfect on the shelves I am putting in the guest bathroom (still to be hung).

Then because I couldn't wait til the shelves were up, I put them on the tea wagon in my dining room.

I LOVE them there.   A slight industrial vibe, and I'm trying to get away from my very traditional look.

So the shopping for the bathroom shelves continues.   It's a good thing they aren't up yet.

PS.   I am looking for a new light for the tea wagon, so don't worry I'm overdoing the circle motif.

Ikea Shopping

I made a trip to Ikea looking for some shelves.

There were lots of new items that caught my eye.
A cute coffee table:

 

A "wicker" desk chair

Good craft room ideas ... a magnetic bar for scissors:

 

Great blue and white drapes:

 

I didn't get any shelves, but I got a couple things for styling them when I do.  

 Is that getting the cart before the horse??   I just couldn't leave this clock and plant behind :-)

 

Now to get some shelves!

 

 

Medicine Cabinet Re-design

There is a definite design flaw in my medicine cabinet.   There is only one shelf in the middle of the cabinet .... and lots of wasted space.

 

Even a couple inches is all you need for some of the things you store in a medicine cabinet.   So I added two additional shelves.

 I am a low maintenance girl, so I don't need that much space for lotions and potions ... but every inch counts!
