For a Friday, it’s always good to be a bit random. Β So here’s my random post of the week.
I figured I’d start off with a random picture of a cat in glasses to buffer any negativity.

Did it work?
Good, on to the stuff that’s not so great…
The Bad News: Β There is still one last thing I need to do on the chest of drawers before I can share them but that probably won’t happen until the weekend because I need Wayne’s assistance and he doesn’t want to do it until the weekend not that I’m blaming anyone but it’s his fault but I promise next week I’ll TOTALLY be giving you the full reveal!
The Decorating Fail: Β I wanted to share my decorating fail with you because I’m keen to show the pros and cons of decorating my your own home and I’m nothing if not honest.
I actually went out and purchased two mirrors like this from John Lewis (the bigger one in the photo):
Because I was hoping for a little bit of this action…
Alas, I tried to use these gorgeous mirrors in EVERY CONCEIVABLE CONFIGURATION and it was a big fat decorating fail. Β *sad face*. Β They are absolutely stunning in person (and heavy), they were just too small so the scale was all wrong (again) and the dark antiqued brass got a bit lost on the wall. Β And at Β£80 for the two of them, I can’t really afford to keep them just because they are so damn sweet. Β So they’re going back. Β Sometimes, ya just gotta let go, eh? Β Maybe if I find something affordable that will work in 
the future, I’ll do it but for now, I think I want to get a new big crazy beautiful fox glass mirror above the chest of drawers instead or maybe a big crazy beautiful oil painting. Β The search continues…
Also, Dotcomgiftshop.co.ukΒ featured my blog in their 20 Fabulous Home Decor Blogs which I thought was pretty sweet, considering the other amazing bloggers they included. Β If you want to find some new UK blogs, take a look at their list. Β I’m in really excellent company.So a big shout out to both of them for featuring little ol’ me! Β It’s much appreciated!
So do you have any good news/bad news/decorating fails you want to share? Β I’m all ears :) Happy weekend!
Congrats on all the features! Too bad about the mirrors. (What about stacking them horizontally behind one lamp and then finding another mirror for behind the other lamp?) It seems a shame to return them when they're so cool.
Fun features missy! I'm going to check them out ASAP! Congrats!
Congrats on the features. You've been getting some great publicity lately. Well deserved.<br /><br />Bummer about the mirrors. I know what it's like to have your heart set on something and then it doesn't work out. That fox glass is really pretty. And if you could get Wayne to okay one of those feminine paintings, well good on ya! :)<br /><br />Love the kitty with glasses, by the way.
Wow, how exciting to be featured on those two sites, looking forward to the big reveal of the drawers!
I collect decorating fails! Sorry your mirrors didn't work out. PS: I ordered my rug today! It's on!
Oooh congrats on the two features, I'll have to take a little peek right now! <br /><br />Sorry to hear about the mirrors though – it sucks when that happens. I also love the look of a pair of mirrors behind the night stands, think it can look absolutely stunning. Good luck with the quest! <br /><br />ps. Best kitty photo of all time?!
