Wow - I'm in awe of all the stuff you're doing at work - good for you. It's great to make some progress in areas where we do have control.

Have a good day xx

Our posts crossed over Sotto. Thank you again, I shall check out Brene Brown as well.

My own work unfortunately took a bit of a nose dive the three months after October. It was awful. And my part time work was in my H's industry, I have no idea how I survived those three months.

Anyway, I'm going to repaint and redecorate my bathroom. I went to get some testers and swatch cards. I've already painted one of the testers on the wall.

My bathroom used to be golden yellow with navy towels. I'm trying to decide on which shade of grey to go for.

I've got wicker basket accessories which I really like, and I've decided I'm going to totally cover the walls in loads and loads of mirrors of different shapes and sizes.

Behind some of the mirrors I'm going to build little made to measure shelving units. So some of the mirrors are gonna function as doors to what is essentially a little cabinet. That means I'll have loads of storage space as well. I've decided I'm going to paint the body of the cabinets the same shade of grey as the walls, so they look kind of camouflaged against the walls.

Not sure about the frames of the mirrors at the moment. I don't know if I should go for white, or gold...
