I love this community, but haven't been brave enough to post here. We just finished remodeling our tiny guest bathroom, however, and I'm really proud of it. So *holds breath* here goes! It's hard to belive that this space is less than 35 square feet -- it took forever to redo! Bathroom zen... This mirror was a $15 craigslist find. It was originally gold. Oh, and the sink was $30 at...

I need to decide what color to paint our guest bathroom, which I am almost finished remodeling. My goal is to combine modern colors/styles with vintage fixtures. Here's a quick photo to give you an idea of what I'm working with: I plan to keep the wainscoting white, and plan to paint the ceiling white, but need to decide on a color for the upper part of the walls. For what it's worth, most...

Hi, damnportlanders. I keep finding more and more wonderful surprises as I disassemble our bathroom. Now it seems I may need to move some plumbing (not a lot, and not far, but it appears that the contractor who redid our condo before we bought it installed the water intake lines and the waste pipe above the floor. (God bless him. I want him dead, whomever he is.) As you might imagine, I have NO desire...

Okay, all you brilliant DIY-ers. I have a(nother) problem. I started renovating our guest bathroom today (in earnest), and have reached the point of frustration. After removing our oh-so-fantastic 1970's style vanity, I discovered that all of our plumbing which should be below the floor level isn't. This would be somewhat less of a problem if I hadn't been planning on installing a pedestal sink. Or...

We are planning to remodel our two tiny bathrooms this winter/spring. We weren't planning on starting this process too much yet, but today we bought these two items at Ikea, because a) we loved them, b) they are flatpacked, so easy to stuff in a closet until we're ready for them, and most importantly, c) we spent $100 on BOTH pieces. Seriously. $40 and $60. I couldn't believe it. Here are our treasures...

We were married on July 20th on the Oregon coast. I made a couple of posts with photos here: http://adventure-girl.livejournal.com/136979.html http://adventure-girl.livejournal.com/137724.html

Thanks to adventure_girl , I've been turned onto the US Navy method of tracking body fat percentage. I definitely like it better than the old BMI chart, which only uses height and weight and doesn't account for lean body mass. And it *definitely* beats the hell out of my cheapo digital scale that likes to say that I'm at 35%, which? No-effing-way. The US Navy thinks I'm at 28.22%, which I...

I've been making some stuff. Hairpins and boutonnieres... I was thinking natural and vintage with a little hard rock thrown in, my fiancee called it steampunk, which fits, I suppose. It all started with hairpins I made for myself a couple of weeks ago: My fiancee loved them, so when our forlist called to say that the flowers we wanted were not going to be available locally, we continued with...

I'm having trouble deciding on jewelry. For reference, here's a picture of my dress (I can't believe I don't have a better one. It looks much nicer now that it fits properly!)  http://pics.livejournal.com/adventure_girl/pic/000e1e9q/g125 and my hair (at least the back and sides of it -- the front will be different).  http://community.livejournal.com/weddingplans/14653064.html#cutid1 I plan...
