In my mind

In my quiet moments I dream BIG..

I would really appreciate it if Paul Costello would follow me around taking fabulous pictures of me and my life.

Sure my life looks nothing like any of these photos....but somehow Pauly Cos in all his creative genius would make my life look green and pretty and sunlighty...

in my mind

If you need me...i'll be on a pink couch in a field, feeding giraffes through my fantastic windows...

OBVS..

Go check the Shoppe Out.. I got Moroccan blankets and Kantha quilts...woohoo

Lets put it to a Vote

So in the next couple months we are gonna be smashing our bathrooms out...and I couldn't be happier.

I am on the fence (of course) of what the hell I am gonna do in the guest bathroom.

So, I have decided that I would put it to a vote

 who better to ask then you peaches....?

Which bathrooms do you like best?

First up,

In the Guest/ G's bathroom I was thinking I would do something fun and kid friendly / guest appropriate.

Like maybe a...

Tub in the middle of the bathroom....and bright colored shower curtain

Or maybe a...

red claw foot tub? not super re-sale friendly...but cheery!

Maybe I totally have to have a schoolhouse sink?

I love me some bright and crazy floor tiles but I have to think about the scary "re-sale" term, so I may have to tone it down..maybe?

 I could totally pull this off..cause its safer

I could pump it up with Wallpaper....

A little pattern to peruse while you potty!

Hmm....think about it.

Talk amongst yourselves

Let me know your thoughts...

Boo-Flippin Hoooooo to me.

I am sick AGAIN

but this time worse than last time..

Airplanes are basically flying germ tubes filled to the brim with all types of nasties waiting to infect

I can't remember the last time I traveled and did not come home with some type of bug..

Anyways, I have no time for this non-sense.

 Yesterday while I was slowly dying of the plague, I was also officially back to work which meant it was demo time FINALLY on a project I have been working on for a while now..

I will be documenting some of the process here.... yippee

So introducing "Client Sweetie Pie's" house!

BEFORE:

Weird half wall bout to get smashed

DURING:

 Taking out this big wall....

And re-doing this ugly fireplace. We are centering it on the wall and making it LOVELY!

DEMOED:

 You can kinda see, but  we removed that weird wall separating all the living areas and it really makes the house feel 10 times bigger.

So much better!

All in a days work.....amazing what a sledge hammer and a trusty contractor can do!
