Merry Christmas !

I wanted to wish you all a "Merry Christmas". I hope each of you get what you want . . . time with love ones , good food and laughter. This is the card that we made of Tate. He is making this Christmas extra special.



This is what I got . . . A new concrete top, and sink for my old "vintage " vanity . lol I must truly be French. I never tear anything out, just re-make it. I painted the once stained wood.

I used the same color as the walls, just in a gloss. This is my "go to color", if in doubt . I always use this color from ICI Dulux paints in "Sisal." I have used it time and time again and find it goes with anything.



Notice that I used a grain scoop for my candle holder. I always try to use something old and loved the patina of this piece.


This is the before, taken a few years ago. I changed the accessories awhile back, but continued to be stuck with the 80's mauve sink and counter. I am loving the change. So tell me , did your house get any Christmas gifts this year?

    Your new sink is wonderful...I have never seen one that shape before, very unique. My house is still in the midst of the media/library redo...but I did just get a new dishwasher after a 2 year hiatus, so maybe that counts.(-: Merry Christmas ~ the room looks great!

    Love the sink! Can you share what brand and style it is? We gave ourselves hardwood floors in the whole house, new granite counters, additional cupboards and new appliances in our kitchen for Christmas two years ago. It is amazing what a difference those things can make! This year it was new paint in the bathrooms. I love things that are used and appreciated all year round-I smile every day when I use the rooms.

    I LOVE your new vanity top and sink!!! They are truly wonderful. No, my house didn't get any gifts, but I will use some of my gifts for making it prettier!
    Your Christmas card is so sweet and I know Tate made everything so much more fun, kids have a way of doing that, don't they.
    Happy 2011!
    Hugs, Cindy
