Backyard Get-away?!

-
I'm cleaning house today!
(well, I've put a 2 hour time limit on it) Finished my mid-term grades, taxes and bagged up my shoes that need repairing.
With a fresh brewed cup of joe firmly in hand, I flung open the doors to get a fresh breath of air...
then I had a thought...wouldn't it be great to have a little art studio/get-away place in the backyard? 
Sure...
I want a pergola type area out near the pond (after it's brought back to life) but a little airstream trailer might be a nice guest house/studio/get-away. 
Yes, I am daydreaming again...
helps to take my mind off the more complicated things 
(LOOK, something shiny!)





A tiny art studio like this might not be bad up on the grassy knoll, but I'd be afraid it would be covered in bugs and snakes!

A little Ritzier



         I've talked about tiny houses before, which I thought would be a great idea near the beach 
or 
just in my backyard on the grassy knoll overlooking the pond:





Cute for the backyard, sure, 
but I kinda like the idea of taking it with me!



                                        Just daydreaming!

Give me time to understand what you want of me.  3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being.  4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.  5. You have your work, your entertainment,and your friends. I only have you.  6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understands your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.  7. Be aware that how ever you treat me, I will never forget.  8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.  9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative,obstinate,or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out to long, or my heart is getting to old and weak.  10. Ta

Can someone please tell me what the key is to publishing a successful blog? Do I need to be a better photographer, a better decorator, figure out how to do 'giveaways', take a daily picture of my dog wearing a wig,  make a masterpiece out of popsicle sticks and paint, rant about the challenges of motherhood even though I'm not one????? What's the secret?  I have 10 followers and most blogs that I read have at least 500 (some have thousands)! I thought I did a pretty thorough job of chronicling my bathroom renovation and I'm incredibly pleased with how it turned out, yet I have ZERO comments on that post! I've even posted it on other sites and I think they've been deleted!!!! Is it the shiny brass, the white grout on the subway tile, the lack of wallpaper, the commonplace choice of color? WHAT?! Maybe I need to provide a service, like selling a product on an Etsy page?  Anybody need some flower pots made from recycled coffee cans? I'm starting to doubt

Zero Budget D.I.Y.

It Cost Absolutely Nothing to Dream! So I'm tired of making excuses about my old timey orange bathroom. I have house guests coming in two weeks and we'll be doing the bathroom shuffle . My house has two baths but the hall bathroom has been in a state of transition since 2007 when I sold the old sink and attempted to take the wall paper down. The toilet and claw foot tub work fine but the two layers of partially ripped down wall paper and resulting exposed plaster make me wince . I have a beautiful brass shower sprayer from Sign of the Crab that's been sitting quietly in it's box for 5 years (back when I had a six-figure job and six-figure dreams to match). I also have a cherrywood sink base that I purchased 7 years ago when Floor & Decor went out of business (I never bought the sink top because I thought I'd create something much more interesting with marble...never got around to it).  I really need lots of storage in there so a pedestal isn't practic
