My Birthday Present

Good morning all and Happy Weekend!

Bob gifted me with the most wonderful 

birthday present.

My birthday is today, but he surprised me

a few days ago with this.

A wonderful cabinet for the bath made from old wood.

The black hinges are new, but the insulator knobs are old.

It fits perfectly above our toilet.

I have no clue what to put inside though...

as everything we need for the bath

 fits inside our dresser sink.

It is painted the same color as our walls.

The color is Icicle from Benjamin Moore.

I so love how it looks!

Then he hung up my rack.

Where I wanted to hang all of my antique hand mirrors.
It was an idea I saw [stole] from Robin over at
The Cranky Crow.
She did the same thing in her bath.
Robin we so miss your posts....
wish you would come back to blogging.

I could not remember where I hid all of the mirrors,

so I grabbed the one from the bedroom.

{hopefully I will remember where I put the others}

Then he hung this other rack 

opposite to the other one.

Where I now can display Gramma H's petticoat.

She always dressed and undressed
 in her upstairs bath farmhouse.

When she was not wearing her petticoat,
she always hung it in the bathroom.

Love the lace!

I have wanted to hang this here 

in our own bath for so very long now.

It now will proudly stay here.

Night time view.

Bob also made our toilet paper holder.

He used black pipe and old barn wood that he stained.

It also fits perfectly with our farmhouse look.

Plus it gave me a place to add one of my vintage soaps.

I have a collection of bar soaps.

Hmmm...

maybe they can go either on top of my new cabinet,

or open one door and display them inside.

Will have to work on that now. ;-)

Later today we will be going 
to Mikayla's (granddaughter) 
Christmas concert.
She will be playing the bells.
Then go out for my birthday dinner.

Birthday Present Blessings To All!
