I had no clue where it was going to go. I just chose colours that made me happy and ones that I enjoyed working with.On completion, the mirror subsequently provoked a bathroom makeover. Now HOW could I say NO when I just love overhauling a room.This revamp was slightly different as I decided not to spend much moola and use what I had lying around the house.<a href="http://s252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/?action=view&current=Oct2008115.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 379px; HEIGHT: 258px" height="768" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/Oct2008115.jpg" width="443" border="0" /></a><a href="http://s252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/?action=view&current=Oct2008181.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 381px; HEIGHT: 254px" height="768" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/Oct2008181.jpg" width="452" border="0" /></a><a href="http://s252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/?action=view&current=Oct2008116.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 282px; HEIGHT: 370px" height="1024" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/Oct2008116.jpg" width="450" border="0" /></a><a href="http://s252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/?action=view&current=Oct2008187.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 284px; HEIGHT: 361px" height="1024" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/Feefsee/Oct2008187.jpg" width="425" border="0" /></a>I was amazed at what I could create on a small budget!

It is an old manor house with a lot of large windows. With the ceilings being much higher than normal, we had to get the curtains aqnd blinds custom made.
