mirror mirror on the wall

After gathering dust for many months (years?) in a corner of our garage,

this mirror finally found its place

above the desk in our backyard cabin.

It serves a dual purpose:  visually enlarging the space and covering 

the electrical box behind it.

(The box had been exposed when we removed and sold

a different mirror that had been hanging there for quite some time.)

We just used the existing nail, so the mirror hangs a little higher

than I would have liked, but I'm not going to move it...
And yes.  It's Christmas year 'round in the cabin.

inside our christmas cabin

 Our Christmas Cabin is full of Christmas trees!
Year 'Round!
Not much changes - especially since it is
bursting at the seams with Christmas treasures.

 Christmas-themed books and amateur paintings of evergreen trees

and other winter scenes...

 even a cutting board shaped like a Christmas tree!

 Ahem.  Even the toilet paper caddy is decorated with a Christmas tree cutout!

 Trees everywhere!

 All shapes, sizes and material!

 Old Christmas magazines are stored in THIS caddy...

 Hand-painting decorates a gourd and a wooden bowl.

 Several sets of miniature Christmas china/dishes are displayed or stored in 

drawers of a desk.

I've lost count of the trees; but about once a year SOMEone remembers to try to count 'em...

There is very little in the cabin -- furniture , book, or accessory --

that wasn't purchased in a thrift store.  

(The beds weren't made up.  That's why there's no picture of them.)

Here's the ladder to the sleeping loft though...

 Merry Christmas!

Thrifted Cabin Style

We recently found these bunk-beds at a thrift store.  We replaced a full-sized bed with them in our guest cabin, freeing up floor space for a little more "living" room.  I recycled the flannel sheets, tucking them in snugly to serve as bottom sheets on the twin beds.  We're ready to take reservations!
