Gift inspires project!

I recently received this sweet medicine cabinet from a dear friend. I had several possibilities in mind for it.
I decided this spot would be its new home. But, I had always thought this little hallway was too dark. It was definitely too dark to allow one to view the contents of the medicine cabinet. I mentioned this dilemma to my personal handyman. He agreed. It had always been difficult to read the thermostat in this hallway!

SOOOO, a trip to Lowe's and numerous trips into the attic running wire etc. and we now have 2 recessed lights in the hallway and a dimmer switch around the corner!
Ahh! much brighter! Doesn't it look great?

I couldn't bear to have it empty, so I scavenged around the house for some appropriate knick-knacks to put in it. It is a perfect place to display one of my towels embellished with Swedish Weaving!


Y'all Come Back!

    It does look great !!!

    What a perfect place for your beautiful towel...not sure where it was but it couldn't have looked any better than it does on the med. cabinet. Look's a bit like Valentine's to me... now you have another spot for holiday changes!
    So much fun "playing house" and such an added bonus having a "helping partner".

    You both continue to warm my heart. Mum

    It's perfect! You not only got a new cabinet, but some much needed lighting, now that's a win-win situation.
