Looks like a perfect place to get a few things done! So cute.
In addition to a toilet, I got some battery operated candles that change color. They even came with a remote.
Now if I could just get hubbie to cover the pink foam board it would be perfect.

Good luck pouring water on fiery tech demons, my friend.
Pub looks so cozy!
Thanks.Flash the Bear looks great on your Bays! Bogart says hello.
Hello, Bogart.
Bone cancer sucks.Oh, dear. A very tricky situation. Don't blame you one bit for being honest if you don't care for the bag... handbags are such very personal things. But no way possible to do it without him getting his nickers in a twist.
So what's the upshot? Will you keep the bag, or return it?
And so very sorry to hear about your cat. Sounds as though it will be a difficult Christmas.
Oh, bag is gone.
Kind gesture, $$$$ wardrobe ornament.
He wants to visit boutique together, browse. But hermes bags don't squeeze my heart much.
Mulberry's revamp hit man hard, too. He's searching. Poor, sweet guy.
Wrap foam board in material/paper? Staple at back? Maybe holiday pattern?
Candles complete look beautifully.
Ignored my own advice & bought real candles. Scented as, "blue cedar fig."
Nice. And not a food-smell, to make me hungry.

I find that extra smooches and compliments do wonders to smooth hurt feelings do to bag missteps.
He obviously wants you to be happy with present so it's awesome that he's willing to go to the boutique with you.
Any bags out there you have your eye on?
I do have real candles, but I can't remember where I put them.
If I forget to turn these off after having some Christmas "cheer" I at least won't burn the house down.
The mantle is finally finished. Unless you think the mirror looks naked. 
Not really. Was considering purple or bright pink. But no set brand. Just musings, not serious.
Like what longchamp is doing lately.
Have you considered any? Replacement for red sparkly?
Perfect! Love the mantle lights & touch-up to foam board!
If dress mirror, may detract from rest, imo.
Has been fun to watch your project evolve.

As have had NO luck with handbags lately I decided to branch out.
Haven't had time or money in recent years to really decorate things. This year I do. Kids won't be calling me Mrs Grinch this year [emoji12]
Hermès? Which one ? Please , post a pic so that we can talk you into keeping it!Thanks.
Hermes.
Man has great taste!
We are envious, remainsilly!
And we send you lots of good thoughts and lots of hugs to kitty.

I must have missed that. Hermes? Wow. Gobsmacked here.
Truly not a bag for everyone though.
Any progress on the laptop/iPad merger?

Bag is gone. Did not take pic, sorry.
Was bit painful experience, as man was hurt I did not accept his gift.
Agreed. Definitely not what everyone wants.
Some colors are beautiful, however.
Maybe something will work for me in future. But their bags generally are not my thing.
Thanks.

They are truly gorgeous. But to me always seemed very formal. As I am not a formal person and don't work outside the home I would only carry it when I went out with the giver. And they cost too much to just sit around looking pretty.
My hubbie and I have VERY different tastes in jewelry also.
Last year he gave me a pair of 4ct blue topaz and diamond earring. Which were stunning.
But since I am not going to a ball, they would have lain in my jewelry box unworn.
It took quite awhile to explain that while these were THE MOST STUNNING EARRINGS EVER, that I wanted something really nice for EVERYDAY wear. Sparkly earring just didn't go with the Suburban mom outfit.
Of course, I told him it was AWESOME to receive such a gorgeous present from him and he had wonderful taste.
Hug hug kiss kiss.
Then after he felt manly, I explained that the main fun when your husband buys you a present was SHOWING IT OFF. And I would look silly and pretentious wearing giant sparkly earrings at kids sports events, the grocery store, etc whilst wearing jeans and a puffy vest (my daily uniform). I compared it to getting a new big screen TV or giant grill, no fun if you can't show off to other guys, right?
I told him I wanted to wear the special item he got me EVERYDAY and I couldn't do that with fancy earrings that sparkled.
He thought about it for a bit, and we went to the jewelry store and picked out the coolest pair of gold and white gold earrings in the store, which of course I wear several times a week.
What it really came down to was he considers me the most awesome woman in the world and he wanted me to have THE BEST.
Once he understood the different types and kinds of BEST it has gone more smoothly.
AND I wear the stuff he buys me more often.
Tell him all the ladies on the forum are totally impressed that he made such an effort! Incredibly sweet and romantic of him.
Hopefully it will all work out!
Murphy, I love your decorations. Very pretty! I am the biggest Grinch ever as I do not decorate for Christmas at all. [emoji85]
Also, I love your stories about your hubbies getting you such gorgeous presents. They seem to be very kind and caring souls. Really hard not to accept their presents. But, yes if the presents do not work, it's better not to take them. Or exchange them for something more fitting.
So. After 7 (SEVEN!!!!!!) hours of swearing and death stares my Mac and the new iPad broke down and they are running smoothly, now. Ugh. I hate spending the weekend in such a way. But, hey I have to admit that I am sooooo proud that I got the f*#$•@^ stuff working all by myself. Yay! [emoji322][emoji3]
Here it is: Ms Goldie before she drove me crazy:

The BEST color choice!!!
Soooo glad you got it working. Celebration [emoji322] day [emoji482]
BTW I like holiday decorations, I just hate DEALING with them. I don't VERY often because cleanup is such a giant pain.
I enjoy them much more at stores, taverns and hanging from the town center.
