Sometimes the best recommendation for a Monday is to daydream (in responsible doses that make your day better while letting you get something done in the real world… Surgeon General’s work-time warning). Today, I’m thinking about future travel. National Geographic is such an enabler, too. The Dolomites? Sure! I love what a combination of peaceful…
Second Half of the Project: Guest Bathroom
When we bought our house nearly a year ago, we assumed it would be a many year project to slowly but surely update the house. We started with the kitchen, moved recently into the main living area, and we figured we’d get to the bathrooms later. Much later. But events have conspired that mean we…

Saw this yesterday, liked it a lot.
Small, but valuable.
