This looks like the perfect bathroom to read the latest Bridget Jones novel. Romantic,
relaxing and such a pretty view of the garden from the tub.

Tub base Tuesday: See thru tub
Clearly this is an original bathtub!
It would be fun to fill this tub with bottles of champagne like Kevin Sharkey did in
his bathroom (here) or float flowers in it or dare we wash it really, really well and
fill it with layers of different flavors of jello?
What would you fill this tub with for fun?

Flower power: The prettiest flower mosaic tiles
Sorry for the late posting of this post, it was meant for Monday, but I have been having problems with Blogger, almost every time I went to upload a photo my file of photos became unresponsive, the screen went black and I got booted out of my post. It got to the point where the computer popped up a message saying it was shutting down the site because it was having too many problems! Has anyone had this happen to them or know how to fix it? It's still happening, but I'm still going to try to write my posts and google a solution, so there may still be more delays in my posting.
I've been a bit under the weather this past weekend, was a shame because the sun was blazing and I was dying to go outside and enjoy it, but my body said otherwise. So in the house I stayed all weekend. I had planned to go do a bit of shopping and some tile scouting. Previously I mentioned I was looking for some clear glass tiles to put on a shower ceiling, but after I saw a bunch I realized they just wouldn't work, that they'd make the ceiling look like it belonged in a hospital. Not the look we're going for! Instead the look we're going for is something soft, a bit romantic, timeless and subtle but still fresh and chic. Oh and it has to blend, I don't want it to shout out when you walk in the bathroom, I want it to match with the ceiling and be a detail that you notice afterwards. I want it to be like when you step into a beautiful Parisian room and you notice the pretty molding details on the ceiling but they don't grab your attention they just elevate the overall feeling of the room. Tall order, but then I remembered a tile I had seen online and always go back to look at because I find it so pretty. Why I didn't think of these before I don't know, because originally, I wanted to put a floral design tile on the shower floor but couldn't find one that was right.
So now I need to find a showroom near me that stocks the New Ravenna, Jacqueline beauties. Cross your fingers for me that they aren't insanely expensive and that they work perfectly. I want to get this creamy version of the floral mosaic:
I also love the other versions these flowers come in.
Jacqueline, a natural stone waterjet mosaic, is shown in tumbled Bianco Antico, Blue Macauba, and Carrara
I was almost tempted to switch to these blue ones.
Jacqueline, a jewel glass waterjet mosaic shown in Absolute white, Chalcedony, Peridot, and Quartz/Agate
This red and green floral pattern is nice too, they make me think of European needlework and Prussian dolls for some reason.
I had one more photo to put here, but Blogger keeps having problems, I've tried 10 times now and am giving up! Ack, hate computer problems!!!
Jacqueline, a jewel glass waterjet mosaic shown in Ruby, Sardonyx, Citrine, Olivine and Malachite

I think they should come out with a version where the flowers are in
different shades of pink and maybe also lilac purples.
This color pink for the petals combined with a white center and white
leaves would be gorgeous.

50 healthy habits every girl should have
I popped on Pinterest last night and saw this list. Thought it was pretty good so I wanted to share it. I googled #42 because I didn't know why you'd do that. Here's the reason they say you should consider drinking liquid chlorophyll:
'Easily digestible, liquid chlorophyll is rich in calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, selenium, zinc and potassium and also contains vitamins A, C and E. Considered a whole food, liquid chlorophyll purifies the blood and removes toxins from the digestive system." The list of benefits goes on so I've included the link to the full slideshow bellow.
Recommended Dosage
"Taking liquid chlorophyll on an empty stomach is recommended so that assimilation isn’t slowed down by other foods. Overdosing on liquid chlorophyll isn’t possible since it is essentially, a vegetable. Nevertheless, adding 1-3 tablespoons of liquid chlorophyll to one glass of water or juice is recommended."
What's it made out of:
"Liquid chlorophyll which is sold in health food stores is either extracted from alfalfa, algae, spirulina, wheatgrass or barley grass. Known as “green drinks,” fresh juices which are made from a combination of these sources cleanse the body of pollutants, provide quick energy and have an overall rejuvenating effect on the body."

Also read this article, especially the last paragraph:
There's also this article, I have to read, I'm linking it here so I go back to it and
if you want to check it out too:
Here's another version of the 50 list with little explanations for each, here however,
some are in the wrong order, the little write up on chlorophyll is #24 even though it's still #42 on the list.

Celebs in tubs: Lindsay Lohan
Have you watched Oprah's reality series starring Lindsay Lohan? When I first heard about the reality show I was disappointed. I thought, what is going on here. Why does it seem that the more people mess up their lives, the more they are showered (no pun intended this being a bathroom design blog and all) with opportunities. Why oh why is it that the people who try to get ahead in life by working hard are usually the ones that get stepped on by the greedy, back stabbing peeps & that the people who mess up their lives and do tons of crap, that they knew was wrong from the get go, get second chances handed to them on a silver platter? It just doesn't seem fair. We all know that life isn't really fair, but sometimes you think to yourself, Wow, if I was just a bit cuter, came out with a sex tape, walked around drinking in the middle of the afternoon, said mean and hurtful stuff to other people I might be able to pull in $250k plus sponsorship from a reality show. Why did I go to school and get a big education and their collection of handbags cost more than what I make in a year? What a world we live in I tell you!
Ok, enough of my ranting. I did think Lindsay Lohan was a good little actress in the day. I think she should aim for some small roles in mainstream movies, a role like Tom Cruise's Les Grossman character in Tropical Thunder could help to get her back on the map. Focus on that for a year or two to get the public back on her side. And see if she could get a role as a cartoon character. She's got a good voice, I think she'd do well in an animated series. I do wish her the best of luck, it's just annoying that's all.
