Reflections
As I’m a very busy person (we’ll wait while you laugh) the decision to shoot yon wee shell was an easy one. Just can’t decide which one I like.
Master Bath Complete
Realized I hadn’t posted a picture of the ‘other side’ completed. For not knowing anything, it came out… well, not bad.
We call the vanity ‘Moby Dick’ (the white whale).
ALSO, the Thanksgiving cactus has apparently given up keeping track of the months…
Oh, the Humanity!
Last Weekend
I went crazy on the bamboo.
Who knew bamboo was so messy? Forget the clean up, there are a ton of wee dead leaves to rake. I’ve still got the gift of planting the wrong thing in the wrong place.
On the other hand, if you live in south Florida… Seabreeze bamboo makes for a great divider no one can see through. Just… don’t let it get away from you.
Master Bath Redo
Before this I’d never done a renovation. Ever. Hadn’t picked things out like: tile, paint, vanities… this was an education. At every turn my contractor texted “do you have the…?” and I would panic and reply “what tile?” “what grout?” You get the idea. I felt like a fool.
Because of my ignorance we bought a bunch of stuff that really doesn’t go together, so I’m currently working on using decor to tie it together. These pictures don’t relay any of the decor (we don’t even have a mirror yet… and have never used the shower!) but pictures of the resulting mess are forthcoming.
Before:
…and after.
The guest bathroom will be much better! We won’t do it until this summer, but I’m already working on it!
IF anyone lives in south Florida and needs a contractor, I know a good one. 😉
Take It As It Comes
I almost chopped the tip of my thumb off using a new mandolin. That was horribly painful.
A bee stung me in bed. It’s nasty and I’ve no wrist left; just a red hand and a red balloon arm.
The contractor doing our master bath remodel punched a big hole through to our bedroom… and doesn’t even know it yet. He’ll be here within the hour. I can’t wait.
Strange people making white dust and concrete have been in and out of my house, making me want to run away.
Is it any wonder my notes to my husband (in his lunch) have gotten a tad odd??
Yeah, I bought one of those camping doohickeys women use… It’s called Venus to Mars and no, I haven’t tried it yet. Bizarre!!
You can laugh now. 😉
Pretties!
My favorite picture of a Thanksgiving cactus. It still has plenty of buds, so… no, no more photos. I know you’re relieved.
ALSO….
I put some fairy lights in my mom’s old bowl and magic!
…
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but I’ve nothing to do, since the man can’t eat salt, sugar, gluten or meat… maybe I’ll just serve him a toothpick?!
Happy Turkey Day!
Denuded… Now What?
My tree guys went to town yesterday; looks like a tornado came through.
Aside from the obvious, like paint and LOTS of pressure cleaning, what now?
Since there’s clearly more visible terrain than before what should I plant? Plumbago? Maybe philodendron? Not the huge variety. Hmmm…
