first let me say that I haven't been ignoring other posts, I'm just oddly unable to ever post a reply! I guess whatever the problem is, it won't be corrected any time soon. (my computer...well..guess it dictates what I can do!)  Tammy S....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your bathroom!!!!  I have enjoyed everyone's posts so very much!  for another odd reason, I can post a new topic....so here's the garden house thus far.  the mirror is a bit 'bold', (but I love how it reflects the light from the window) so I'm soon replacing the shelf above it to something longer/larger to kind of balance things. then...I'm still on the lookout for little side tables for beside the glider.  and as to the glider, that poor baby is sooooooo old that the cushions were in terrible shape! had to improvise until I find new ones (hopefully on sale in early fall!)  hub is making me a tall, skinny cabinet for the long wall that I plan on painting in a distressed mustard yellow color.  I have a burgundy/navy throw rug down that looks pretty great (if I say so myself..lol) that you don't see. also...the little table is blue with red showing thru...much more distressed (well..I don't think you even see the little table well in these pics anyway)  LOL  anyway...planning on the cabinet and other goodies I find here and there at flea markets.   but...besides those wonderful little things you always add, it's pretty much finished.  a great place to read..relax...and  just enjoy. it's been fun!  that's enough of this................at least until one day when I have all the right things finally in place.  the hunt is on.....

Hey Abby- It looks lovely- very peaceful and serene- just right for a tea party.

Do you have room for a chaise longue- maybe a wicker one?

Thanks, Abby and oh how I love your garden house!  It has lots of character and you're decorating it great!  Love that wall lamp!  You get to be like a little girl out there playing house, don't you?  What a great place to hang out and read! 


Blessings,

Tammy
