Starry Night

So I have this dilemma, I always want to keep my bathroom window shade up because I love the natural light while I'm taking a shower...
1
but I don't want to give my neighbors behind my building a free peep show... if you know what I mean.
2
So I came up with an idea to use my star punch to cut out pretty stars all over the shade.
3
Now I can keep my shade down and still have natural light.
4
And surprisingly it looks even prettier and whimsical at night!
5
Who knew the bathroom could be such a magical place?

    Hello!
    I just found your blog via bleubird and it is brilliant! So many ideas...and i've only gone down the first page. It is pretty much a given now that i will boil the kettle make a cuppa and read through loads more of your posts getting absolutely no work done today... But hey ho i don't care!
    Really made me smile...thank you Sxoxo
