Week 13 Random Pinehurst

We are such

coke addicts around here

All for a good, healthy cause

ironically.

Spring is Springing up

I love this time of year.
The bulbs that I planted
in the dead of winter
last November
are starting to pop
because
that bright yellow thing in the sky
is shining bright again

Especially into my kitchen window

As always, all photos (c) b3 home designs

I love spring.

Almost as much as I love summer

And then some.

Week 12 Random Pinehurst

So long as you always visit at 5:40,

you should be able to tell time

in about 9 different time zones

in my foyer.

Give or take a few.

Closet Evolution

It isn't much
but it is something

Finally got the mirror off the floor
and into the spot
it was intended for when I bought it
so dang long ago

One day

I will replace or paint the jewlery chest

replace the wire shelving

maybe even paint the wall

Or maybe not

Yes, that is my wedding dress

in the back

I should get it covered

Seriously.



Faux Eames Lounge Chair

I love
competitive
thrift store shopping

My husband
probably not so much
because then I bring home
stuff like this

Burien Value Village Find

March 2011

that I really don't need.
It's a great office chair though.

Week 11 Random Pinehurst

Well,

At least our grocery lists

are relatively simple

Honey?

Did you get

me a potato,

a sack of limes,

and a case of graham crackers?

You did?

Oh you DO love me.

Carry on now.

1 Hour Lovely | Bathroom shelf

I had an hour
a shelf
some paint

In pictures:

It is SOOO convenient
not having to dig toilet paper
out from under the sink anymore

Just saying
Like the succulent dish? 
My newest obsession.
Blog post (or two)
coming soon about that

10 minutes, basecoat of primer
25 minutes to dry
10 minutes paint layer
painted in the bathroom
with the vent and heat lamp on

Ran some errands
Came back
15 minutes to move behind door
and add the knickknacks

Lovely what a little paint
can do

Week 10 Random Pinehurst

She is so lucky

that I can afford

her gourmet food

and that I love her

so much

that the puppy food factory

is my fave way to spend

a lazy Friday evening.

Week 9 Random Pinehurst

I am not the only

handy person

around this place

Check that.

Seeing as I'm all about form

and he is all about function

I think she prefers

his brand of handy

to mine.

At least she doesn't have to

strain her neck

on the floor

to eat anymore

Bathroom | One bit at a time

YEAH!
I got up
a shower curtain

It is waffle weave
which is impressive
no?

okay.
really,
I need to figure out
what to do
with this room

Given that it is really the dumping ground
for all the bathroom stuff
we don't want to stash
in the bathrooms we actually use

Go figure.

This is probably most evidenced by the little mirror on the wall
or the black rug on the floor

Hey.
Don't hate
it works

Of course,
I'm thinking
nautical

And I have some cool crab print/sketches.
But that's about it

No,
I didn't even install the curved rod.
That came pre-installed.

I know...what kind of
home improvement blog
am I running here?

Around Pinehurst - March (Cairns and Prayers)

Once upon a time

I took a really long trip

to a part of the world

that doesn't have western style toilets.

now.

this is significant

because I have a "toilet thing"

whereby I will not clean them

because my gag reflex just. cannot. deal.

so if you've ever been to a place

where you have had the pleasure of using

various eastern style toilets

oh...say...a place like Tibet

then the beauty of this

Toilet cairn, a bit off balance - Main floor Powder Room

Photo (c) b3 home designs

becomes far more relevant.

At Everest Base Camp (Tibet side),

we collected a couple of rocks.

All around Tibet, rocks are stacked (rock stacking = cairn)

mostly in prayerful repose

for safe travels

Or I think something like that

This cairn is our tribute

to the Great White Western Toilet God

that allows us the grace

to lazily sit our fat butts

on a bowl

that collects things unthinkable

and whisks them away to places

I never have to go

As opposed to crude holes in the ground

that I wasn't even allowed to use

more times than not

because I have lady parts.

Oh...Tibet.

Happy March!
