Build Bath & Shower

Let’s start this post off by talking about personal strengths. Mine fall along the lines of 1.) tearing apart a house I’m living in, 2.) doing shit someone told me I couldn’t, 3.) building random things while drinking wine, and 4.) hugging chickens. Obv. Things that are not on that list? Decorating a house. I mean, I’m decent at replicating something I see and like… a super expensive bathroom vanity , for example? No problem, I can build one on the cheap. But the more I’ve seen really talented people put rooms together, the more I realized how much I don’t know (and, frankly, don’t want to take the time to learn) about space planning, the best way to arrange furniture, and just plain making a room look good. This hasn’t been an actual issue in my life because all of the houses I’ve lived in for the last 8 years have been in a perpetual state of getting torn apart and being put back together. So, you know, my biggest concerns have always been things like whether or not I have a functi...

After Before The Original Floorplan Last June, Jeremy and I started the process of remodeling the second floor of our home. There were lots of things that bothered me about the original layout, and you can probably discern a lot of them from the “before” pictures, more of which you can see in West Elm’s post here.

The master bathroom consisted of a small crappy plastic tube -shaped shower, a vanity, and the toilet. The shower was the bane of my existence, because the way it was built and assembled left all these little gaps in the plastic pieces  in it that were impossible to get to with cleaning brush, so mold would just grow between the cracks, and the rubber lining along the shower door where the plastic sheets touched k...

Recently by Joseph Mercola: The Guilty Pleasure That Could Save You From HeartDisease Story at-a-glance Recent research indicates some cases of nasal congestion may be alleviated by cooling and decreasing the humidity in the air you breathe The ideal level of relative humidity for sinus health, and to prevent growth of mold and fungi in your home, is between 35-45 percent The vast majority of chronic sinusitis cases may be due to exposure to mold or fungi rather than bacteria, which antibiotics cannot treat. Antibiotics are only recommended for short-term use if your sinusitis is in fact caused by a bacterial infection. Using antibiotics for sinusitis caused by viral, mold or fungal infection may have serious long- term health ramifications According to a Mayo Clinic study , as much as 96 percent of people suffering from chronic sinusitis are “fungal sensitized,” meaning they have immune responses triggered by inhaled fungal organisms All- natural treatment options for acute s...
