I hold my hands up to neglecting this blog! After having a baby, being back to work and generally being very busy, I've not had time to blog regularily but as I was one of 200 blogs to be contacted by MoneySupermarket.com to enter their competition 'Room for Improvement' it has motivated me to get my backside into gear and get stuck into some creativity as well as giving my bathroom some much needed attention!
The mirror idea could be adapted for a wedding DIY project if you were wanting something a little different.
The wood panelling was painted with white gloss to help brighten the
room and complement the light green walls. I found some off cuts of voile at
50p each to use for the windows. I then made some tiebacks by stitching glass
beads to green ribbon.
My Father in Law cut out the letters ‘SOAK’ from some off cuts of wood,
which I painted and decorated with some left over craft supplies. These were
then stuck to the self-adhesive mirror tiles before sticking onto the wall.
My husband cleaned up the grouting with a dremel multi-tool to freshen up the look of the tiles.
I used some candle holders for the green candles, from another room to help make the finishing touches.
