Hoo boy, it’s hot enough to sail right through this Indiana humidity. And while we’re on the subject of sailing, look! A sailboat!

Man, oh, man. This isn’t your average mixed media piece. Aimee created a site specific installation. With jagged mirrors. On the ocean.

And then photographed it.

Whoa.

Do you see patterns in everything around you? Patternity sees them all over the web, and then rounds them up into a nice little package. Love this blog!

It’s too hot to go outside today. Maybe I’ll make a flower woman?

Husband took me to the renovation house for a surprise after dinner last night, and would you look at my early birthday present?:

It’s gorgeous, no? I couldn’t be happier (unless, of course, it came decorated with a big red bow, but alas — I’m not picky). We chose this model from Sterling for our guest/kids bathroom and I was honestly a bit unsure as to how it would look in the space (it’s a tiny room, but a huuuge shower/bath combo!).

I absolutely love it and can’t wait to take a hot bath in that luxurious Whirlpool! And as much as I love the shower/bath combo itself, I love even more what happened next:

Yes, that is Husband and what looks like himself…. well, soiling himself. In actuality, we were testing the 3-way valve and had no idea which hole (the technical term, I’m sure) the water would come spilling out of. To my sheer happiness, it was the one juxtaposed with his gentlemanly area and I spent the remainder of the evening laughing at his poor luck (and my good fortune!).

And this, friends, is why I love to renovate.

p.s. The handle you see in the bottom image is Kohler’s Purist valve trim, and you guys — it is beautiful!

I’m having a hard time keeping my love for these boots under wraps. And gosh, wouldn’t the pair look lovely worn in this wallpapered room?

Oh snap.
