Funnily enough, although I didn’t lose them, we did forgot to paint them when Hubs spray painted the light fixture and mirror! Since the light fixture had that backplate with the keyhole slots, two stainless steel screws were perfect to hold the light fixture; it just slipped right over the screws. As you can see below, we paired up the bathroom light fixture with the mirror that Hubs found curbside on garbage day. We mounted the light fixture right above the mirror and then placed the wave petunias in their containers into each light sconce.
The prongs of the lead sleeve open up pretty wide, so all I had to do was find something to replace the lead with to create my DIY quilling tool. Quilling paper or strips of cut construction paper to test The Q-tip is perfect for this tool because the spindle is made of extruded plastic which is hollow through the middle. Although I cut my opening 3/8″ long, you can customize the length of the slit to accommodate the width of any quilling paper! You can even make it two-sided so you can flip it around, or widen one of the slots for thicker paper 🙂 Test the slot out with a piece of quilling paper.
It’s a strange thing to think all your life that you’re nothing like your mother then suddenly come to the realization that you have more in common than you ever thought. We still haven’t patched and repainted; here’s what the above picture actually looked like – before touching it up with photoshop. Not to be outdone by Hubs’ clock project, I came up with a Foghorn Leghorn clock idea that solved a very real dilemma in his mancave – where to put a clock when there’s no practical wall space. I still wasn’t done with planters – the planter bug bit once again when Hubs found an abandoned guitar curbside.
When we renovated our basement and built a brand new laundry room, it gave us the perfect space to set up the drying rack so we could lay our clothing out to dry. Before we got the MULIG drying rack, we’d have to improvise by using the shower rod in our ensuite bathroom and our RIGGA clothes rack in our bedroom to drape the slipcover as it dries. Simply changing a few habits by washing items less frequently, washing them in cold water (instead of heating up water) and air drying can reduce energy usage – and they’ll last longer too. Using our MULIG drying rack during the winter will also add some humidity to help combat dry winter air.
