What a crazy month. Literally crazy. I read over the last MMM posted in October and it feels like a year ago.

How Do I: Go Cloakroom Glam Using A Gorgeous Corner Loo
The littlest room in the house and it's had pretty much the most on-going time invested in it. I know. We're crackers. But I love it!
