Friday Facilities 04-11-14

A few years ago I visited friends in Washington State and was treated to a visit to one of the islands in Puget Sound where one friend has a vacation home. It was like something from a dream with the blue water, blue sky, and a gleaming white Mount Baker lording over the dark green forests on the mainland in the distance. A gorgeous and gracious few days. The hostess has an eye for decoration and gardening - very casual, but warm and welcoming. The "facilities" are no exception.

Simple, but not austere.

I had to peek in the master bath and discovered another wonderful basin - like looking at the bottom of the sea.

Even the switch plates added a beachy feel. 

A perfect beach house basin - I love the mermaids on the side.

Monday Browsing .... on Thursday! 04-10-14

I hope that my laptop will let me post tonight. This is actually two weeks of browsing since I have not been able to post it for at least that long. Sorry I can't make the URLs show as links. I should have a new computer within the next few weeks.

These didn’t change my life, but some are interesting – baked eggs seem worth a try:
