    [size=large]I've been doing a bit of renovating - well not me, chaps I've got in!

    The 60s ex-council houses in my road have a downstairs loo and a small room which are technically outbuildings and so have those ugly wooden doors with a kind of "Z" structure on the back. I've always hated them. In my house, most of the small room was removed to accommodate a car port, leaving a room roughly 10' by 4'. I've adapted this with shelving and stored all my tools and stuff in there, ultimately calling it the Tool Room! There is a stop cock to the outside water tap but to get to it, I've always had to go into the room and actually close the door! Hence the desire for renovation.

    So now I have two lovely folding doors which are great, and the door on the Tool Room opens outwards so freeing up lots more storage space and I can actually get to the stop cock without shutting myself in! I also got a little hand basin in the loo and a new combi boiler installed. This is going to be covered in with a pair of sliding doors, wardrobe style but smaller!, to hide all the stuff I store in there. Should look really cute when it's finished, decorated and dressed! Somewhere I won't be ashamed for my visitors to use!

    Next week, I am having a new kitchen door fitted - 10 lights, bevelled glass with the top two of which are going to be decorated with a stained glass decoration which I am still trying to choose! Can't decide between the art deco design or the Tiffany style dragonfly (already have a Tiffany shade with a dragonfly). I have till midnight to choose!

    For me, it's the drogonfly, Daisees.
    I'll pop up my own interpretation of when I figure out how to do it.[hr]
    Hopefully this is my painting of a dragonfly.

    I think you've still got 10 minutes to choose.

    The Mackintosh Rose is lovely Daisees.
    I'm sure it will all look great.
