I just used a 2" hex tile on the floor of my bathroom redo (with subway tile in the shower surround). Mine came from Thompson tile and I love it. I have yet to post after pics of the bathroom, but you can see the floor before it was grouted here: http://ploughyourownfurrow.wordpress.com/

The first one could be multi-functional as a bar-cart and a walker. :)

I am going to pin the heck out of these photos! :) I might just take a leaf out of your kid's book and draw on my pumpkins too - much easier than carving. Also, that battle scene is totally epic and way cooler than anything I've seen Martha do. I have a friend whose father sets up his lovely Christmas village every year and then has his toy soldiers attack it on the day. I am glad some people don't grow up.

I love the old sewing table used as a vanity!

Someone gave me a hot water bottle with a homemade cover, cut from an old cashmere sweater. It is luxurious!

The chinook book is awesome, have the paper version and the phone version this year. And I love ballard bee honey, it is so delicious, as is anything from Theo. Tasty!

Excellent! I enjoy this stuff. We ended up inheriting a bunch of antlers - about a dozen loose ones and a few sets. We even have a set surrounding our tv.

And perhaps a black ski mask to complete the ensemble? Then you could rob a bank after your windows and mirrors are all shiny and streak-free.

I love them both, but the herringbone would be much easier to reproduce, as you can use regular rectangular plants of wood, or bricks, etc. To recreate the chevron, they would have to be precisely cut, at an angle, to form that point. All of these floors are gorgeous!

I have a box like that. It has been moving to different rooms for the last three months since we moved. At this point, it's mostly homeless fridge magnets. It doesn't bother me, but my husband hates it!

Your space is beautiful! I also agree that you don't need to paint, just add more pops of color and plants. The idea to paint the door sounds interesting too.

This was my absolute favorite small cool entry, so happy to see a house tour too! I am impressed and inspired by your ability to limit your belongings and create such a perfect, open space.
