Love love love Allison Weir !!!

GIRL ARE YOU ME I LOVE COLLETTE!

I got a Renaissance style portrait of my cat. But I have so much art already I will have to take something down (I even have something hanging in the closet).

Whelp, The Root is taking this latest act of terrorism in Charlottesville to pigeonhole all The White People again. There is no nuance over there and it’s devolved into something as nasty and intellectually neutered as a reddit forum. If you’re white, fuck you you’re a racist. And if you think you’re not racist, it…

So, it’s important to get the web address correct. It’s www.theundergroundbunker.net. The one you gave (dot com) leads to a scientology hate web site made to resemble the real one.

They should build this border fence out of her emails since nobody can get over them.

If you google anything about contractors, the auto-fill feature in google will say stuff like, “why aren’t they reliable? why are they assholes? why can’t you count on them?” etc. I know because I dealt with several frustrating contractors who never did anything on time, nor showed up when they said they would, and…

Contractors don’t want to do pebble stones in concrete. It’s rough.

I’d wager that women handle stress WAYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER than men can. That one really bowled me over too.

It’s one of those jobs where you have to put a shit ton of trust in someone else and unfortunately not a lot of people are all that trustworthy. My dad is a contractor and is a total piece of shit and fucks people over. I’d go on angieslist.com or get a recommendation from someone you can trust.

I’m of the Very Firm opinion that things you like are NEVER dated. Just pick what you like without regard to fads, and you’ll probably be good for years.

I like the look! And you may want to join Angie’s List (you can join for free now) to search for contractors & read reviews. Good luck!

I’ve been using Yelp as a starting point and asking around for recos, but so far, I’m not impressed.

I just had my bathroom done—all of it. It was hard because I live in a condo and it’s MY ONLY BATHROOM. Anyway, I went with white 3 x 6 subway tile in the shower (with bright white grout) and I couldn’t be happier. I though of doing some slate or stone as you show, but I was afraid it’d be too dark. Anyway, I do like…

That is gorgeous! I don’t think it would ever look dated.

I like it, very natural looking. Hard to say about looking dated. Has an outdoor sauna shower kind of vibe to me and I don’t think that changes much?

Do you think it can last though? Every few weeks we’re promised that a new, more professional administration is just around the corner and then something happens that rattles Mr Orange’s cage and we’re back to square one.
