A few weeks ago, I showed you the beginnings of my dear friend Donna Butler Douglas’ bathroom.
Well, they have finished the re-do and here it is!
Two mirrors instead of one and new lighting certainly are a great update.
New paint, a great area rug and some new accessories . . .
Looks fabulous, Donna.
You may remember that my friend Donna is the creator of the fabulous DonnaDots
Donna is also a very talented composer. She composed a beautiful anthem for the Centennial Celebration at Oklahoma Baptist University. You can here the fabulous anthem and read about how she wrote the piece on the Oklahoma Baptist University website
You will be amazed at Donna’s talent! She took a beautiful prayer and turned it into a musical masterpiece.
What wonderful metamorphosis do you have to share?
