Glitz and Glam, Bathroom Rockstar



In a bathroom, its all about about the details. You don't want to go over the top, but you want to make a statement. Glass tiles are a great way to make a space feel more airy or bright.

There's something in the air.

The winds of change are whipping up around me. This Friday marks the beginning of the end for me. Commencement begins on Friday and ends Saturday Afternoon... In honor of the warm weather this weeks color is American Beauty (Pantone 19-1759)



I am excited and scared of change...

P.S. IF you are in the US or Canada, this week is Happy Hour at Starbucks 3-5 pm!
