Anyway.. on another note.. Did I tell you I went of on this mental excursion to a warehouse in Ajman.. Well.. I found a mental friend to take me there...
It was a total junk warehouse.. and I found some treasure.. *smiles*.. This is what I picked up...
and this is what I've made of it... I like the idea of storing spare cushions & mats at a place where you can pick them up.. and use them.. What do you think??
Do you think it would look better as a side table? Well... I'll leave this for a while.. and that'll be project next..

I spent all of Thursday and Friday ... cleaning and de-cluttering.. on Friday.. I started the day at 05.30am... and finished by 8pm.. from the kitchen to the kids rooms.. to cabinets and floors.. I was so exhausted at the end.. and had such a bad back ache... that I simply crashed..
No... don't laugh!! :)

And here are two pics.. of making the house all pretty *smiles*..
The pic of top is from a village called 'Baitul'.. and a special friend got it for me.. However, I think this prety lady is rather lost in the midst of the sofas...

So I know.. I've been promising to visit you for a while... But I don't have any time this week.. but promise to pop by this month.. for sure!! :)

It is amazing to read how you get so many things done. With my little one around, my house always seems to be filled with clutter! Love the way you have stored your mats and cushions. The anitque urn looks so beautiful this way.
ReplyDeleteloved, loved loved this post Patty! tell us what you used on the pot - was it polished to bring out the natural color, or was it painted?

ReplyDeleteLovely post
ReplyDeleteWow Patty, can't believe you you transformed the. Copper vessel. I like how u have used it.
ReplyDeleteso nice
ReplyDeleteLovely post and photos! Always nice to see something old restored and used again. Do tell us how you polished this big urn. Polishing brass is a headache and while the lime-salt combination works for me, I don't know if you can use it for such a large item. So let us know!
