Bathroom Envy

Well, hello!
 As summer is here, and the kids are out of school, I am sad to say that my post will be random at best. Seriously to all that put a post out everyday on your blog, I tip my hat to you.

New knobs finish it off nicely and they all match now. 

In other breaking news, look what I got! I saw it in a shop window and fell head over heels in love. Especially as I was born in 1970 and am indeed a bit of a purveyor of fine accoutrements! But it was £19.99 so I didn't buy it. Until today, when I called in to the shop and found this one with a small hole in the back that can't be seen from the front and it was £7! I am one happy lady!

And yes, that is a hole in the floor at the side of it.
