Now a Pretty Little Bathroom

It's kinda amazing what $150 can do to a space. For the time and effort, I'm happy with the results.

So I painted the walls using leftover paint from the master bedroom ceiling angle. Then I used peel-and-stick wallpaper on the wall with the vanity. Last, I used vinyl floor tiles for the flooring.

All knowing that in a few years, this bathroom will be gutted and updated -- once we don't have young teens. They are slobs!

To finish it up, I just need to pick up a few bathroom rugs for the space this weekend.

Here's the BEFORE picture again:

And more of our After pictures ...

The floor tiles were NOT PERFECT. If you look close, you can see where the patterns don't come together. I struggled with this at first, you can rotate the tiles to try to get a better match. But it was futile. And from afar, it looks awesome. So, I'm pretty happy. It didn't need to to be perfect.
Here you get a view of the new light fixture that I didn't budget for. Sigh.


So good!

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...

Thinking Spring...

Thinking Spring ... and testing out this new collage photo editor . These are from last Spring. I was taking pictures of where the daffodils were coming up (for next Spring) when this cherubic creature stepped into the garden.

2025 Book List

With 2025 over, it's time to review my reading for the year. I read 97 books: 64 audiobooks and 33 books. And 203 Kindle books.  I stayed exactly in the romance genre. I reread Ali Hazelwood books on audiobook and created a definitive list of favorites, plus she had three books out this year that were all spectacular. She's still my favorite author in the genre, hands down. I reread Penny Reid books getting ready for the third Three Kings book in January. I read a fantasy series that Alice recommended so we could talk and swoon about it. Tessa Bailey had two books out this year in her sports romance and they were both so much delightful fun.  But the book I'm crowning my favorite, after the Ali and Tessa books, is "First Time Caller" by BK Borison. I just fell for the characters, the vibes, the goodness, the sweetness. I must have paused my work and "awwed" over phrasing and kind feelings so many times. I guess this year I just needed a book that was all...
