Bathroom Pictures

Our master bathroom had this southwest border with white walls & natural wood cabinets.

Please ignore the icky mold stuff on the ceiling. A nice subtle southwest themed shower curtain. All nice enough.

Now this, my friends, is what I'm talking about! You know I loves me some color! I love this new shower curtain I bought today so much I could just wet my pants! That curtain was made for this room! You can see a bit of the ugly white wall still behind the toilet. I will be so glad to get that part completed. Soon.

I was going to buy turquoisey candles and as luck would have it, Yankee Candles scent of the month (25% off) is Ocean Water. Perfect! I wanted a trio here but this isn't quite right. That jarred candle might be too big. The goblet is plastic so I won't be burning that candle in it but it was just the right color and cheap. I love the little tealight holder - all the perfect colors - rust and blue and some others.

Here's the medicine cabinet - now white. Too bad Steve's electric toothbrush has to be here. I'm just happy I got him to wall mount it a few years ago instead of taking up valuable counter space. Hrrmph. What's wrong with a "manual" toothbrush I ask you? Simon has an electric one too, they love them. Me? I'm an old fashioned girl.

The flash does funky things to the wall color sometimes and I'm not up to correcting it. The picture with the shower curtain is the most accurate.

These two wall cabinets are real wood and are now white. (The medicine cabinet and vanity are fake wood with a contact paper/veneer coating. Hope the paint continues to hold on those.) Did I mention it took a coat of primer and three coats of white paint?

The mat and lid cover are being returned tomorrow. They didn't have anything truly turquoise (at Linens & Things) so I bought these, hoping they would look okay once I got the shower curtain hung. They are actually bluer than this picture indicates but it mostly looks like I wanted turquoise and just missed by a few shades.

You'll notice Verona wasted no time in becoming acquainted with the shower curtain. It's kind of a rumpled silky fabric. If she puts a run or anything in it, I shall kill her dead. Thank goodness the cats are no longer kittens or they would be trying to climb it probably.

In other news, I'd like to go on record as saying I'm sick to death of the heat! It's been in the mid to upper 90s for days. Our frugal CEO refuses to allow the air conditioning to be left on over the weekend so on Mondays after a hot weekend, we roast. (To former employees reading this, overall the office temp is actually better than it used to be - it's more consistent, but no, things have definitely not improved 100%.) So for a couple of days the AC works like crazy to catch up, we all have fans blasting to keep us from sticking to our desks. Couple that with the fact that I've been driving Steve's vehicle without air conditioning. (He got sick of constantly having it recharged so he's not fixing it anymore.) I've been a little cranky. We all have been.

Simon's been working more days so he's had my car while his continues to be in the shop. (Don't ask.) On days where Steve is going to work late, Simon picks me up so we can leave Steve's car at his work for him. You better believe I have that AC in my car blasting all over me.

Home has central air so it always feels nice.

Simon and I took Reggi to the vet tonight for her annual check-up. She needed several shots plus the Sentinel - and now some ear flush stuff - all to the tune of $221. Good thing she's worth it! I've noticed her shaking her head lately, not a lot but thought it worth a mention. The vet said her ears are bit pinkish but no infection. Anyway, she was the best behaved she's ever been. She didn't even flinch at any of the 3 shots.

Then I had to go to Wegmans to buy strawberries. We're celebrating the June birthdays tomorrow at work and our receptionist/co-ordinator was talking about having strawberry shortcake. I really wanted old fashioned strawberry shortcake so I offered to buy, slice and sugar the strawberries and she's going to buy angel food cake or pound cake or something suitable. I checked two farm stands - both sold out. Wegmans has pretty fresh produce - so guess that will have to do. Not my grandiose vision of super fresh just-picked berries but this will be good too. It's gotten so late I'll slice them in the morning.

Steve and I finished watching Mystic Pizza tonight. I'd seen it many years ago and wanted to see it again, courtesy Netflix. Still a little corny, still a good movie! I was very surprised to see a young Matt Damon! Of course I didn't know who he was when I saw it many moons ago but I don't remember ever reading that he was in it. According to imdb.com, looks like it was his first movie?
