Slideshow

I may be the last person to know about this (probably, since it’s connected to MySpace), but you can make a slideshow at slides.com. I made one from my flickr photos of when we first got the house and it was empty.

*edit*
Hmmm. I was all excited, but the slideshow is really teeny for some reason in Safari (it looks OK in Firefox). I don’t know the mysterious ways of flash. ;) There’s always the bighugelabs version:

Make it Work

OK. It’s time to tackle the turquoise bathroom. It looks like this (brace yourselves):

The 2nd floor bathroom
jealous?

The turquoise tub and toilet aren’t that bad, I suppose. In combination with the rusty brown and cream 70s tile though? Plus the crappy wood? Yuck. Who thought that was a good look? I think they got everything on sale (dirt cheap? free?) and didn’t care. It’s the only explanation I can come up with.

Eventually, Brandon and I would like to redo the bathroom. We want to knock down a wall between the toilet and the closet next to it, move the toilet over and then put in a bigger sink/vanity. Or maybe a more drastic layout change? That wouldn’t be for a few years (at least) though.

The lighting? So nice. The ceiling light needs to be replaced, but do you think the vanity light is salvageable (with a fresh coat of paint)? I think it could look so-so, but still not very nice.

Glamorous lighting, no?

So this will be the next project. I think I’d like to do it for a couple hundred dollars, maybe a little more if we change the lighting fixtures. Wish us luck!

The State I am In

Allow me to show you my desk:

Lest you think I'm neat...

The state of my desk is much like the state of my mind… overworked and cluttered. Brandon and I are leaving tomorrow to go up to the family cabin in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. We’ll be there with the rest of his family, so it won’t exactly be a quiet, restful vacation (6 other adults, 4 children, 3 dogs)! Plus I have a million things to do before we leave, but it will still be nice to be away for a few days.

Have a nice week, everybody!

No More Fluffs.

Wind + rain = no more fluffs.

Stormy weather

The rod that I was using to hang them fell apart, and then the fluffs got wet. Dang.
