Make your home happy with vintage things. It is probably the best way to show your house you love it by getting special items available from BRICK HOUSE VINTAGE.

Did I say probably? I meant certainly.

Black Bathroom

April 30th, 2009


(via Remodelista)

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.

Inconvenient

April 30th, 2009

Uh Oh.

Whats this?

Oh yeah, that hole used to be my driveway.

At least we have a sidewalk.

I did get into a wee bit of a fight about mailbox placement with the city Parks and Street director. He actually physically ripped it out of the new sidewalk. Now its on the front lawn and we can’t get in or out of our driveway.

We have been inconvenienced.
