I think I may be in love the with the shower curtain! I have a clawfoot tub, but I'm a shower sort of person and the current curtain rod is... well, it's pretty hideous.
i have that shower curtain! its very cheery, almost everything else in my bathroom is white.
interesting hacks. i really want to make a rug out of rug pieces.
THAT LAST ONE! The orange, the fabric - I'm in love!
Yea, I miss me too! I'm dying to bust a move on about five cool things around here but life just won't stop getting in the way. Don't give up on me though...winter and cabin fever can always be counted on to get things to happen.
thanks for the linkage :)
Love Splatgirl's taste and ingenuity - big ideas for big spaces but perfectly adaptable for the rest of us. Thanks for pointing us in her direction. Come back Splatgirl !
maybe her place is perfect now and we should offer up our imperfect homes as test-sites....
I LOVE her stuff, she's bookmark worthy and have been waiting for some more goodness!
Love the whole vibe. The bright colors are just great with the sleek industrial look, and prevent it from being bland or cold. The flowery... um, tapestry?... is wonderful.
