A little less clinical

A bit of fun adds some quirkiness and character to the new bathroom which I find quite clinical after the warmth of the wood panelling in the old bathroom. These two, Maurice and Mabel, were bought at a Wellington market years ago and needed a bit of refreshing with my paints before I hung them on the wall. Mabel’s leg broke in one of the earthquakes and is rather roughly glued on as bits of plaster had crumbled away. She’s looking a little sunburnt after the paint repair, but her nail polish has been refreshed!

And there’s the sweet little cupie doll in an old-fashioned bathing suit on top of the wall cabinet. They all sort of go with the art deco look of the bathroom (which is finished, by the way).

Max is free-standing and I’m afraid he’ll fall on the unforgiving tiles and damage something, so he remains on the threshold.

Then there’s the swimming dog and the tiny bear in a bath the size of a walnut shell… Hmm, bear in, dog out. That’ll do.
