Curio Cabinet

In the January 2003 issue of MSL on page 54 there is a great article on curio cabinets. In my aunts house as long as I can remember there was and still is a huge antique corner cupboard filled with all kinds of stuff. From antique dolls to chein toy banks and wind up animals.
To house my collection of Lara Croft I have it in a large 2 door china cabinet. I know Martha displayed Steiff animals.I don't know how she would feel about molded plastic, But mixed with antique french porcelain it works in my room.
It's a lot to dust and would look excessive, but somehow having it in a cabinet with doors makes it art.At least to me.

Bathroom Reno..

My bathroom or en suite is almost done.I could NEVER be a contractor.I much rather deal with finished spaces than see bleak messes like this.
Plumbing in and water hook-up.
Sink hook up.
Green Board finally up.
Dusty wall mud.
So much nicer!!
Shiny parts for the tub.
