Indulge


Can't quite remember the last time I took a relaxing soak in the tub to just slow down and indulge. The Cubebot challenge was such great fun, but it really took a lot out of me. I enjoyed it all, but kept myself quite busy and focused on making it a success. Mini Modern posted about her win, and Fran let me know that she already received her goodies! Congrats again, gals, and thanks again to AREAWARE and to all the entrants.

A quick recap of this scene: the modern tub is a soap dish from Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Target, don't remember, with a faucet from a large scale kitchen set. I always hunt the clearance section for random bath accessories and other adaptable pieces. My rule of thumb: always take a look, and then a second look. If you see something you think you might just use, pick it up!





The side of the stairwell is covered in strips of yellow flowered washi tape. I love the stuff, and always pick up rolls when I see them. They adhere well and even come off quite easily. The flooring is wonderful paper from Lee's Art Shop. Heavenly!



The cork backing is actually a flooring sample from Lowes. They are not free, but are quite affordable at .99/each. The towel is cut from a piece of adhesive-backed felt from Jo Ann Fabrics; it can be shaped and draped quite effectively.

I hope to post some more updates on a few other mini projects soon...I've been getting crafty! Perhaps I will get to completing some work over winter break.

By the way, speaking of projects, if you have been looking for an Artply Highland and are up for some light renovating, Lori has one for sale for pickup in Jacksonville, FL. It's in great condition and just needs some updating. You can see an album of photos on the Call of the Small Facebook page. Lori is asking $150/OBO. Please email me if interested at call-small(at)call-small(dot)com.

The time it took me: 57 minutes

  4. Oh I would love to take a soak in that room. I need to find some that washi tape, so cool (and temporary, I'm so afraid of commitment)
    :D
    Looking forward to seeing what you're up to.

    1. Me too...! The tape is terrific and the patterns (and sizes) are so diverse and fun! They run between $3-4 so, not a huge investment. :) Hope to share more soon.

  5. Sigh, what a good idea. It is raining cats and gogs here in California, 24 inches of snow in tahoe in one day. Warm baths for all! Merry Christmas CM

  7. Very, very inviting...I want to take a soak. You definitely deserve the break after all your hard work. Washi tape? Innovative use...it hasn't made its way past my scrapbook pages but now I'm inspired.
