All the Frills: Bathroom Redo

When we redid our townhouse a couple of years ago, I was particularly happy with how our main floor powder room came out. I still want to switch up the tile on the floor (well, in all the bathrooms really) but I love the way the new sink and mirror, countertop, light fixture, and paint job turned out. I also think the couple of framed images we’ve hung, and the little seashell accents, are nice touches. Bathrooms are such functional spaces, I always appreciate it when they’re stylish as well.

Weekend Reading

• I was reading an online article in my local newspaper recently about a local women’s march we had and I stupidly read the comments as well, which were mostly filled with arrogant idiots insisting that there was no such thing as the gender pay gap and women just took lower paying jobs for shits and giggles. My own fault for the reading the comments but it made me irate nonetheless. The gender pay gap is real. Very real.
  
• I am totally interested in buying a private island in Scotland.
  
• Kate Middleton’s gown is gorgeous. I’m pretty sure I was exactly this majestic when I was pregnant (and, no, I don’t wish to be dissuaded of that notion).
  
• Most people have seen this by now but it’s so fascinating that I couldn’t resist. One of my favourite parts of teaching the various world history classes that I’ve done was teaching about the history of the Maya and I remain intensely curious about this part of history.
  
• This guy is an ass. But I’m also a bit disappointed in Greenpeace.
