My little beauty nook

My bathroom is painted yellow (so not my choice), so the light is rather ghastly. Plus the kitty litter box under the sink makes for a rather gritty experience when I'm standing trying to put makeup on in the early morning hours.

So I created this little nook in my hallway using a thrift store mirror (maybe $30) and this darling gilt shelf I snagged at a garage sale for two bucks!


Here I put all my baubles from the thrift store, but the natural light is best for any face tweaking.

The only thing I'd change: natch, I need some colour.

I could paint the mirror frame and the shelf, but the work would be too intricate and as you may have guessed, I'm not exactly the handiest of junksters.

So my solution come the warmer weather? Think I will get that navy paint and paint the wall behind it. It's a small wall - part of a small hallway that'll actually look fab painted dark - think it'll be way easier a project than the alternative!
