i'm feeling much betterer - didn't have to get back into bed yesterday - so definately on the mend.
have been pottering around in my loungeroom yet again as i try to pull it all together - on almost no money!!
our tv cabinet has become somewhat of a 'mantle' of sorts - and as such i've been playing around with displays.
came up with this idea that i'm loving - surely someone else has done this - i just happened to have what i needed to make the idea work.
cryptic?? - sorry - i'll get to it!!
you know those glass display domes which are all around the place at the moment?? well they can cost anything from $20 for a basic thin glass dome (found on ebay this morning) or can range up to hundreds of dollars for the 'antique' variety with a wooden base.
here's a pic i found on google this morning -
from at the lovely duck egg blue essential in balmain, sydney here (it's been sold) |
once there was a glass hurricane candle holder.........
that was one day turned into a faux glass dome.........
crazy???? i think it works.
it looks good with the other things i've dragged in from around the house.
i'll show you my 'mantle' shortly - don't fret - it will be today - i ended up doing a few things in the room as my brain has been allowed time to think lots while getting over the lurgy!!
goob is still home sick from school - she may go in tomorrow - but she has really been knocked for six the poor girl. luckily we have an extensive dvd collection to keep her occupied!!!
i will be back soon.

Well I'm a little excited about this because I think I have those vases/candle holders too and I had never thought of turning them upside down! I'm going to try it out thanks Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteI can see Mr.W not being to happy about spending money on glass dome's. Don't worry things will turn around.
