I saw on the way down here you've posted, so can't wait to sip some market spice tea and have an enjoyable read!<br />I am so glad you like the vanities, and the four modern ones were purely inspired by your inspiration photo, so I owe you the credit on those! Thank you for sharing your ideas!<br />I haven't looked at the tracking in a couple days, so I'll have to do that too - I am still praying it's safe and will get there quickly!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-23563517606983156302018-04-11T08:48:51.166-07:002018-04-11T08:48:51.166-07:00Thanks Penelope!

Blue is not a real Go To color ...Thank you Marjory! Blue is not a real Go To color for me either, as I tend toward warm and spicy when not thinking too hard. The teals have really been making me happy lately, and when I saw the two glass bowls in my stash the idea for a mermaid theme sprang to life. It was a lot of fun to have so many vanities that I didn't have to pick just one color.<br />The two best photo suggestions I can offer are light and software. I have switched to 100 watt equivalent LED bulbs in my dining room fixture which has five sockets. That has helped the photos and helped me to see better in general. There are also socket splitters so you can go from one bulb to three or more, and because the LEDs draw so much less power, overloading a circuit isn't a worry. Light has been the biggest help in better photos, then next is taking a lot of photos and using the software to make them better. I will be sure to share any other tips in a future post, as I know most of us struggle with this issue!<br />As for the cleaning, my body hurts and I want to play! I'll be so glad when I can call the spring clean ta-done!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-68070355977421039662018-04-08T10:44:23.927-07:002018-04-08T10:44:23.927-07:00Thanks Betsy!

Better planning would have helped, but with so many to plan the details for, it got a little overwhelming so I just decided to go forward and see how things came out. I see many things I wish I'd have been able to do differently, but overall they're not too bad. I am glad you have a couple favorites, and I hope they will inspire future vanities for you!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-12258418663074292022018-04-08T10:37:52.411-07:002018-04-08T10:37:52.411-07:00Thank you, Drora!

If I had to choose a favorite (or two) I'd choose Nantucket Bucket Blue and Mermaid II. That surprises me, because I'm usually not a great fan of blue! But I love every single one of the vanities - and what a creative variety you've made. The photos that you've taken look perfect to me; mine are usually pretty awful, and no two have the same coloration or lighting. I've just always figured that's the way it has to be, but you've encouraged me to at least explore some improvement options! I'm looking forward to seeing what your next project will be - after your bout of spring cleaning, that is!<br />MarjorieMarjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-21839357761942250952018-04-08T07:29:30.171-07:002018-04-08T07:29:30.171-07:00Dear Jodi, this has been such an Odyssey of Vaniti...Dear Jodi, this has been such an Odyssey of Vanities!!! I must admit my favorite is the Old West Hotel (I think it is the enamel bowl!) and second favorite is the Mermaid... love the color and the idea and the theme... blue will catch me every time! I admire your stick-to-it-iveness!!! It is really an accomplishment to have given so much Individual attention to each varied piece... figuring out what finish would go best with what color and then there are the accessories!!! You have accomplished so much! And now you will be able to reach into your cupboards and pull out a finished vanity ... no matter what style of build you are making! Bravo!!! And I can sympathize with your desire to move on! :)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-20343473735286303982018-04-08T06:34:04.727-07:002018-04-08T06:34:04.727-07:00All your vanities are beautiful and perfectly equi...All your vanities are beautiful and perfectly equipped with lovely accessories.

It is as much a learning curve as making the minis themselves!<br />I found that taking straight on photos with the mirrors really detracted from the scene because you could see the phone, me, and my storage drawers in the background. I used a whole punch to create an opening for the camera lens in a piece of scrap scrapbooking paper. Then I put double sided tape on the phone case, lined up the hole to the lens, and stuck the paper to it. Definitely better than seeing me in the shots! :o)Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-35248957632435065712018-04-07T18:52:35.491-07:002018-04-07T18:52:35.491-07:00Thanks Marilyn!
