Or Just Plain Nuts.....
Where did the weekend go, Dear Readers? I had such great hopes to accomplish Big things in several of my mini projects, but then it turned into the first really nice weekend of Spring.... so I spent some time outside in the garden... and then the time I did spend on minis seemed to get swallowed up with some Tiny little details that were never on the list in the first place! Did you notice them already?
Well, let me show you where I left the bathroom in Rose Thorn Cottage last week.... when I realized that I should turn the bath around so we can see those faucets...
As I looked at it in the bright light of morning, I realized that something was missing!
As lovely as those faucets were.... they looked lonely....
And as I began to think about things like where the soap should go, and was lamenting that I didn't have one of those lovely wire soap dishes to hang over the edge of the tub, I recalled seeing an antique circular soap dish somewhere long ago....
and decided to try to make one from jewelry findings and wire.
Of course, I forgot to take pictures....
because I just was seeing if it would work....
It looks almost just like the one I remember!
But then I thought it needed soap....
so I pulled out the sculpey.....
Just plain old white bars of soap!
(I made several... will need to "wrap" the others...)
But as wonderful as that was....
it still looked incomplete to me.
Where was the chain with the drain plug?
Well, I had to make one, Of course!
And while the sculpey plug was cooking.....
I made a toilet paper roll and the holder....
And attached it to the side wall where it will be invisible when the door is added!
But... we will know it is there!
Then I needed to see how the tub looked with the new adornments....
Here you can see it with the little shelf under the mirror added...
and the "chair rail" which acts as additional support for the shelves...
Oh, and a sponge!
I cut a piece off of a real sponge and perched it on the side of the tub...
But something still doesn't look right....
I want to be able to see that stopper I worked so hard to make!
So I pulled the tub out of the house (thankfully still not glued in place...)
and I draped the stopper chain over the top of the faucets....
just as we always used to do....!
Aaah.... that looks more like it!
But when we put it in the Cottage...
it is so dim we can hardly see!
And if we are trying to see it through the door....
With the help of a bright light shining in the window....
I think it looks nearly perfect!
Well, Dear Readers, it wasn't what I planned at all!
And while it is nearly impossible to see with the wall in place,
I think it is Definitely Over the Top!
(And probably a Little bit Nuts!)
