In the search for the perfect pair of bookends I have decided that I love only two.
Ben Seibel Jenfred-ware bookends
George Nelson Jax / Jack bookends
The Nelson is a classic, but man all those Ben Seibel Jenfred bookends are sexxxx-y. These both pop-up on Ebay and Etsy, but can get quite pricey very quickly. The hope is that I stumble upon them somewhere unexpected and my wildest fantasies about keeping my books straight in style come true.
OK Ace Hotel, Palm Springs. Your cool.
Whatever.
I’m copying your built-in shelves in the lobby because they are just that awesome and budget friendly. So suck it.

If I had cash for a real remodel I would definitely go all black and white in the pink bathroom.
Black penny rounds would go everywhere on the floors and lovely white subway tiles all over the walls. Its a classic look but still modern with a totally great retro flair.
Remodelista has a great round-up of black tile that is making me crazy.
Stupid pepto pink tiles. I know some folks really adore them – I thought they were cute too when we first moved in.
Now…not so much.
They aren’t like cute fun baby kitty pink, they are like beige molting pink and always remind me of sickly feverish flesh. Some of the tiles are cracked and most are not in great shape. I know when we go to resale the house that bathroom might be a BIG issue.
