Home Decor

I live in a house that is more than 100 years old. So before it gets any older, I decided to leave my mark here and there. This is the front door after some brush strokes.

The en-suite bathroom needed a feminine touch. So I decoupaged the press borders and the wainscotting borders as well....with serviette prints!

Then comes the post box. I live on the main street and do not have a house number, which I find very strange. But the postman seems to know where everyone lives. Just in case you come and visit me, you 
 can find out where I live by looking at the post box!
