Hey Everyone!!   I hope you all had a lovely week-end.  Again, we had gorgeous weather with highs in the mid-seventies and sunshine.  I am soaking it all up and enjoying every minute  because I know come March, I won't be a happy camper.  Today I  wanted to share a little( meaning small)  and inexpensive bathroom wall update.   My before pic of the area above the commode, very  boring and in need of some help...

Two coat's of  ivory spray paint  and she's looking much better.  I also found an old gold metal shelf in a free box at a garage sale this summer.  I had set it  in our garage not sure if I would ever use it, but I thought maybe my daughter or one of her friends would.     I forgot to snap a before pic but trust me it was gold and brassy.

I hung the shelf, the mirror, a few pics and accessories from around the house. Total cost only $3.00 for the mirror, everything else came from shopping the home.  Now on to my wreath dilemma.  I wanted to use the one I made last year only add a bit more red.   Below, sorry looking  little wreath.








I added some red gingham ribbon, a few red apples, a little tin bucket and a scarecrow. 


I hung it outside next to my red door.  It still needs a little tweaking but that will come. I also need to learn how to make better bows.   I am adding on to the following blog parties today.
