( continues...) wafted into the kitchen/living area every time someone comes out after a um, event. (says the girl who lived with a guy who was notorious for having to warn people to let the bathroom air out after he went in!)
ETA: Closet space. As it is now in the master bedroom, anyone wanting to get clothes out of the closet has to go through the bathroom, annoying if it's occupied. Better to make a large walk-in closet with access from bedroom and bathroom both.
Also, I'd suggest a third half-bath with access from the main hall. It doesn't need to be very big if it's a half bath, you can put it into the wall that is up against the 'water' area of the house, and it will mean that clients don't have to go into the living area of the house and that when you are using the library and the office as guest bedrooms (I assume that's why there are beds there), that they have a bathroom to share rather than everyone in the house having to compete for the single non-master bedroom bathroom.
In general, I'd pull a big chunk of the space that is currently devoted to the storage room and the extra big office and swap them into the kitchen and family area. Right now, you basically have the west third of the house dedicated to 'business'; I'd cut that down to more like a quarter, put the office where the storage room is now, the studio complex where the office is, but slightly larger to account for more storage space. Or reverse those depending on how you want the windows to work.
As it turns out, Sears had the old-style folding mesh lounges for less than the most bargain basement hammock would have cost. So I am now Lobster Man, and have had a neighbor release her dogs to go poop only to have them jump on me and collapse the chair (no harm done aside from my dignity, though).
I just made the Cook's Magazine chocolate cupcakes. Judging by batter and crumbs, they do indeed rock as hard as ita has said.
Hey everyone. I'm having a lazy Sunday.
Here are some Party Pictures from last night.
Happy Birthday, Sheryl!
I just booked a Caribbean cruise vacation for me and my mom for my birthday in September. It was crazy inexpensive, comparitively speaking (less than $600 total for two people, for five days and four nights), and I'm so excited! I've never been on a cruise before. Well, apart from a day cruise, once, eleven years ago, which I don't think really counts. I can't wait. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part: there are dance lessons on board the ship (as well as all the other swimming pool/exercise/night club/shows/spa type stuff). So so cool. I also fully intend to find a way to swim with a dolphin. I can't believe how excited I am.
Damn, Alibelle, that sounds like an incredible deal. How'd you get it?
Great pictures, ND. Thanks for posting them. Still sounds like it was a fun evening.
My Sunday is lazy too. Which doesn't bode well for my house being clean tomorrow. IJS.
Whoot Alibelle!
I have a sunburn in my part, and on my forehead, and on my nose.
In one way boo!
But in another way: weather nice enough to get a sunburn in, yay!
Happy Birthday, Sheryl!
Drew, it looks like you had a very non-Buffy birthday. Hooray! Did you have your own party, or did you go to the
Lost
party?
