Oh, I so want these – even though my “other half” gasped at the price.

Seriously – totally cool!
Ooo, just read this from TLO (yes, fan of that too):

I love my Flughafen, aka airport. Noooo, I am not crazy, or totally lost my mind. Keep reading please, and you will agree. Do you know how many times it saved my life on Sundays? No one wants to start the Sunday with a sentence such as “Ooppsss, no eggs for breakfast honey!” or “Ahhh [...]

This is where I wish I could teleport from Denver – but I got an email from www.seconddibs.com that they have some neato stuff that might be of interest to all of you which will be at a show this weekend in lovely Vermont:

The show information is here at JMK shows – and looks [...]

Ok, so here’s the tile selection so far:

So, now the drama is the floor tiles. Grey? (to match the vanity?) or black? (too dark) – white – too bright! What? ideas? Help! The other issue is what’s available. Everything is these earthy (NON-50’s) tones that are NOT us. Frankly anything esle is really hard to [...]

We’re in the throws of planning a trip to New Mexico over spring break – mainly to see the Trinity Site (which is only open 2x a year). So, we’ll be staying in Socorro and Santa Fe. I already have a cool Mid Century Motel booked in Alamogordo – anyone have suggestions for Socorro and/or [...]

Well it seems life has dealt us a card and we’re going to remodel our PINK bathroom in the next month. We know the tile has been falling off the shower wall for a while, but finally our plumber has determined that the plumbing for the whole shower has to go. So, it’s a rip [...]
