I chose the light and mirror

I visited Ikea the other day and felt like all my lighting choices were very bad. Everything in person seemed too big and bulky for our quaint little bathroom. In the end I've chosen a mirror, still from Ikea but rather plain and simple and kind of victorian, and a simple, single light that was actually on display with the mirror and looks nondescript and nice. I'm so happy one choice is done and over with. We have so many things to choose and it's impossible for me to make choices in regular life, so in renovation life I constantly get stumped and change my mind.

People keep asking me if the elevated back terrace is done and the answer is YES followed by IT's AWESOME and followed by a description of the very ugly temporary barrier my father in law and Seb constructed so that Little S wouldn't go skating off the edge in his baby motor car. We have the new barrier/railings on order from a local artisan and they should be finished in the next two months. It's going to be beautiful, all black wrought iron and matching wroght iron stairs going down to the ground level. I can't wait to see it finished. I'll post some lovely photos here soon of the project so far.
