Shiny Bathroom Post

July 31, 2013/ Michelle Scheibe

Remember our bathroom that we started tiling 17 years ago? Yeah. We’ve made no progress. Go team.

We are, however, sick of sharing a vanity. #firstworldcoupleproblems

We hope to hop back on the tiling train this weekend. Hope being the key word.

We have started to finalize some other plans and today I am going to share with you. Because that’s what I do. Overshare.

Our plans include shiny objects. My favorite.

I dare you to turn this post into a drinking game. Drink on “shiny”. Go.

It all started with this beautiful light. It is the Pullman Bath Light from Shades of Light. So shiny. Shiny. Shiny. Shiny. (I hope you’re playing the game with coffee.)

The polished nickel finish is shiny but also limited some of my other options. Oh well. Shiny for the win.

Shiny lights led to shiny faucets. Like the Park Avenue Faucet from Pfister Faucets. I didn’t know a faucet could be so beautiful. And shiny. I can’t wait to pet it.

And last but not least. Shiny mirrors. We decided on the Gatco 4589S Laurel Avenue Rectangle Wall Mirrors. The mirrors were a tough decision. We had originally thought framed mirrors but we later decided that we want to let the tile shine (different from shiny).

Our final decision is shiny hardware for the cabinets. That, dear readers, is still a work in progress.

Are you a shiny object fan? Who wants to help us finish tiling?

Dream House

July 29, 2013/ Michelle Scheibe

We’re back from vacationing with family in Wisconsin. I hadn’t really ventured very far into Wisconsin before. It’s pretty. The thing about there being lots of cows is totally true. Cows equal cheese. I kind of liked it there.

So much so that I bought a house…

In my dreams.

It was love at first sight with this house. For me. And Ike. Nate’s sister and her husband even mentioned it to me without knowing that I was already madly in love with it. Fate, I tell you.

Nate wasn’t really into it. He kills most of my fun. He got hung up with the “it appears to be structurally sound” wording in the real estate listing. I’m sure it was just a poor choice of words. Always a stickler for the details that husband of mine.

Side note: Here’s some important information that you should know. It’s a hard job being married to me. I’m obsessive and compulsive. I want to move to every town we vacation in.

Having said that, I’m madly in love with this house and I haven’t even stepped foot in it. Because Nate wouldn’t let me. And I don’t like to talk to strangers about setting up house tours. I totally should have. *kicks self* I have mentally moved into it though with a guess at what the floor plan is like. Normal people do this, right?

Don’t answer that.

Who’s going to buy this house so I can live vicariously through you? Do you mentally move into houses? Do you want to move to your vacation destinations? Does your husband hate fun?
