let’s stick to the agenda

life things / June 18, 2019

can we go over just a few things.  I’ll make it quick.

  1. bathrooms
  2. boyfriend jeans.  like real ones

ok let’s move through our agenda.

bathrooms

I am starting to get the twinkle in the very back of my eyeball that a bathroom renovation(s) at kondo le tigre is stirring.  there are two here.  the master bath became the second bathroom when we made the back bedroom the (only) master.  so you’ll catch me about 10pm each night creeping back from a bath through the living room and kitchen back to the bedroom b/c the bathtub is out in the living area.  the guest bath, now master, has a shower only.  this is not sustainable for my grooming habits.

I’m talking to a contractor tomorrow – just to see.  could we ever possibly in an American made great again do each bath for like, $7K?  if I’m extraordinary clever?  don’t say no.  I’m not ready to hear it.

it’s hard to know if I can afford it without knowing what the douche I want.  I am not a bathroom afficiando, and I don’t have a lot of strong feelings around them.  I like New York city hotel bathrooms.  when they’re biggish.  and have black and white tile.  the rest: tbd.

but here’s the thing yal.  I’ve been pinning these slicked up retro millennial bathrooms and I don’t know WHAT IS WHAT.  look:

    

stop yelling.  let’s not make any judgements.  just sit with those and we’ll talk more later.

 

boyfriend jeans.

tad encouraged me to tailor a pair of his old Levi’s and I finally did and THIS IS ME NOW.  comfort!  ease!  style!  it really all happens the instant you put a pair of really huge jeans on.  i cannot emphasis enough that you should try a pair of dude’s jeans.  not your madewell ‘boyfriend cut’, but actual dude jeans -like 34″ waist, and go have them tailored in the butt and on the sides and you are basically Sarah Jessica Parker plus Jennifer Aniston at her all time stylish-best, when she was dating Justin Theroux.

    Yes on men’s jeans. I started wearing them last year and the pockets alone (so deep! actually useable!) converted me.

    Yes! I love the bathroom situ–but esp the boyfriends. ALSO: I’m commenting because I love reading here…and long live personal blogs. 🙂 Thanks for writing. Keep going! <3

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCoolOn East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Design
ter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
