Bromancing the Bathroom

I’ll admit it; I’ve never been a real girly girl. Don’t get me wrong, I love a luxurious purse and even a gorgeous black heel every now and then, but I’ve never been known to work, say, anything with bows (gag). I like my pink on my cupcakes, my grandfather’s vintage Cartier watch and a ponytail over a flat-iron any day of the week. If that makes my taste a little masculine than so be it – just promise to talk me down from the ledge if I ever start browsing for urinals.

Hearting Hardwood

I dream of hardwood floors. Seriously. While desert living promises matchless sunsets, exciting architecture and gorgeous weather, it also delivers row upon row of tract houses and an overabundance of tile. Blechk. Don't get me wrong, most days I love where I live, but I have also spent many afternoons longing for floor to ceiling windows with billowing curtains, charming old fixtures and rich hardwood under my feet. If I had the opportunity to turn daydream into reality, I'm convinced this is what it would look like.
