Crafting, Revamping & Purchases

I woke up this morning eagerly tackling the Summertime Tunic again, and in the back of my mind thinking about what I would wear to work this week. I thought Silly!! make something, so I checked my stash and pulled out a deep peach fabric with small floral print, which is 100% polyester. Right now its on the cutting board and hopefully I will have it done by weeks end.

Also, I'm hoping I can keep up with my crafting while I attempt to revamp my itty-bitty bathroom which hasn't seen a makeover in 7 years.

I had mentioned to dh & db in January that the bathroom needed a makeover, but it was quickly put on the back burner b/c of other work. Well while home alone (which can be dangerous for me...lol) I decided I no longer wanted the ottoman that served as a table in the livingroom and moved it to the foyer. So that meant the livingroom was without a coffee table. As usual when I go shopping my intent is to get what I have in mind and quickly return home. I love oriental inspired furniture, and was hoping to find a coffee table that would fit in with the design style. I have a couple of pieces...
Well I found the most beautiful table, with intricate carving in rosewood ... talk about craftmanship, warmth, elegance and hopefully longevity.

Here is a closer look of the inlay, every time I look at it I see something new...

Then my eyes started wandering... and I came across this mahogany & marble vanity... for a nano-second my heart had stopped... I had to have it.

and this medicine cabinet.... Well.... I purchased the table and immediately went home to measure the space for the vanity & cabinet and was back the next day, with measurements in hand... after about 2 hrs in the store.. I made the ultimate purchase... I have since received the vanity and now awaiting the medicine cabinet, which at the time they didn't have the mahogany cabinet... so an order had to be placed. I also need to paint, replace light fixtures, buy materials for a radiator cover and maybe a hutch that has to be made and stained (my bob-the-builders don't know that yet...*snickering*) ...talk about work to be done.

As for the light fixture, I'm looking for something simple, up-to-date and with a roman bronze finish that will match the facet fixtures...

Along the lines of this

or this
or this
but the searh went awry.... dh and I did not see eye-to-eye on the style and we both left the store with attitudes....lol. He totally did not know what he was looking at, which were chrome based fixtures... urgghhh... NOT!!!. So after I gave him a lil pep talk... we will try it again...lol
