(i no longer have the photo that went with this blog post. my husband may have destroyed the evidence of this event...even though this whole story still holds true today in the bathroom...)
i walked into the bathroom tonight and noticed the incredible differences in the two side of the sink. my side is that really nice and neat and OCD looking side (on the left) and need i even mention who uses the other side of the sink...
yeah, i just outed my husband for using mousse. let’s keep that little fact between us, okay?
i have NO idea why he has a tennis ball on his side of the sink. i think he was using it when he was cementing the shower floor to make sure that the water ran down to the drain, but i really am not 100% sure of that. anyway, the shower floor was concreted weeks ago and the tennis ball remains on his side of the sink. as does the caulk gun. i would clean up his area, but then i would put all those things in some logical places for them to be and he wouldn’t be able to find them when he needs them again.
thus is my life...
i really wouldn’t marry ANYone else and he is the best husband in the world for me. and he lets me borrow his mousse whenever i want it, so i am not complaining here. i am only pointing out that if it wasn’t for him, my whole house would look OCD clean and who really cares about that when you can have a tennis ball in your bathroom...
do you notice how cozy my bathroom is? i love how i can clean ALL of it from one central location. it is really very time saving. one drawer and one cabinet per person and a middle under the sink cabinet for cleaning supplies. who needs any more? i tend to fill up whatever space i am given, and this keeps me honest and pretty down to the basics ONLY in the bathroom.
and that 60’s counter top really is the BEST! so retro, so fun. i think i will repaint the bathroom again this summer and do a little spruce up (starting with adam getting a bigger basket for his side). but other than that, i really love that little one person at at time bathroom. the best part is that when you are sitting on the potty and someone else comes in, they open the door and it goes right in front of the potty and so you have total privacy. BRILLIANT bathroom planning, frank lloyd wright would so approve of that whole door/potty arrangement...
i have been reading THE NOT SO BIG HOUSE book and it makes me LOVE my little house and comfy spaces that are designed to NURTURE rather than impress. however the bad news is that it also gives me about 476 new ideas of things to do to make EVERY space in my house useful.
one room at a time...
