Friday Link Dump!

I thought Friday would be a good day to share some of the fun things I've starred in Google Reader over the past week... so here goes!

Um. YUM. Blueberry Ice Cream. This will be being made this weekend.

If someone would like to secretly replace my house with this awesome looking place, I would not complain.

OK, I should say: I hate the very idea that there are standards for things like "normal" or "adult" or "happy" since I have never met any people who fit the standards. But still, This is Why I'll Never be an Adult is fucking hilarious and pretty much how my life rolls.

Minus the shoes, I adore this outfit that Margaret Howell is wearing.

Martha at Uniform Natural shared a photo plant list from her enviable garden.

This scratch off world map is such a cool way to record where you've traveled...

Love this little cabin in the woods

Moleskine's Milan office is pretty much the kind of office I always dreamed my last company would end up at... alas, alas! It was not meant to be.

Grrrr! Angry Potatoes!! They may be angry but they look like they'd make my tummy very happy. :)

I would also like to hang out here.

I am a very visual person & the photos in this post pretty much sum up why I've been obsessed with visiting Iceland for the past 10 years.

And finally, before summer is done, I will be making one of these and letting it sail off into the world.

Sinking Inspiration

I have 2 full bathrooms that need updated... I've got about a million ideas. As usual. And as usual, I have very little money to execute said ideas. It will probably be months before anything is started but I want to get all my ideas in one place. Best to think ahead, eh?

Both bathrooms are quite small & the current layouts leave much to be desired (like space, space is much desired). The first one I'm going to focus on is 8'x4.7' & blue. Blue sink, blue toilet, tiny blue tiled shower, blue speckled Formica vanity. Oh... and a hideous mirrored wall. And wallpaper. And ugly light fixture. And only a subfloor after I ripped up the nasty carpet (carpet in bathrooms = nasty. always. the end) And it has a door at each end. There is nothing I like about this bathroom.

First up on the idea gathering list: Sinks!

The current vanity is 30" wide x 22" deep. It is (did I mention this already?) UGLY. I think it takes up too much space for this size bathroom. So, here are a few ideas for the replacement... Let's start with something dreamy that I cannot afford!

This loverly sink is from DWR... it's currently 1/2 off and still a completely unaffordable (for moi) $655. But oh, she is pretty. About 24", built in towel rack, & wall-mounted to open up the cramped space a bit. (sigh) I just had to post this one to get it out of my system.

Moving on... other wall-mounted options: This option is from overstock & only $117. It's OK. This one is from IKEA and $160. It's super cute.

The next three are vessel sinks... This Kohler one caught my eye at Lowes... I believe it's about $150. Also Kohler, also Lowes... no idea on the price on this. Here's another one from Overstock. I love the rectangular shape of this one.

That may be it for tonight... I will probably do another sink post before I put my final idea together. This is a good start though.
