Solving For in the Master Bathroom

Other than everything being SUPER UGLY, here are the FIVE big things we finally solved with our master bathroom remodel:
  1. The bathroom door swung the wrong way! It went into the wall, instead of into the room. It was exactly opposite of every other door in this house. And it drove my logical mind crazy. 
  2. The light switch was outside the bathroom. Why? Weird and illogical. 
  3. The bathtub was too large, took up too much space, and was too deep to ever be filled high enough with warm water to use the jets. 
  4. There was only ONE outlet in the entire space. 
  5. All the lighting was problamatic. The vanity lights were extremely cheap strip "hollywood" lights that got soo hot, they scorched the ceiling. And the closet was so dark, we never knew what we looked like.
  6. The vanities has no organizable storage. They were just two LARGE cabinets. It was impossible to organize and thus became a huge dumping ground.

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
