After years of dreaming of our perfect bathroom, we had honed in on a look that we knew we would be pleased with for years to come. I pinned and pinned my little heart out until Pinterest finally started saying, "This looks familiar; didn't you already pin this?" Our vision was set, now we just needed to find a way to bring this vision to life.

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
This week we've paired up with the folks at Moen to give away one of their new Twist Showerheads. The Twist is an innovative little gadget, a handheld shower that lets you switch between four spray settings easily, with the flick of your thumb. We got one to try out in our shower, and loved in (especially for bathing the little one).
Read on to find out how to enter the giveaway, and to hear what I thought about the review unit we tested out.

Who wouldn't want to be able to strip down outside after a hot afternoon in the sun doing yard work? Of course the neighbors might not appreciate it, but still.... If you have the spot and the inclination, this

Hearing the repetitive dripping of a leaky showerhead can nearly drive you nuts! No amount of bending, angling or tightening the faucet does any good at all. Here's the first and easiest things you can do to try to remedy the situation:
1. Remove the showerhead from the pipe coming out of the wall
2. There will be a small washer or O-ring made out of plastic or rubber just inside the showerhead nozzle. If the O-ring is dry or damaged, replace it.

These new spa shower heads from iB Rubinetterie, which come in a 280mm square design or a 600mm round option, have lights integrated in them.
Too bad...as it turns out, just wiping down the shower and scrubbing out the toilet and dried toothpaste isn't quite enough. Gomestic offers these 11 tips towards healthy bathroom maitnance.

Ron Arad, in conjunction with Teu-Co., has designed this utterly unique, prototype luxury bath item. It’s a combination bathtub/shower/art installation. Art installation, because of its aesthetic appeal and shower/bathtub because it performs both functions via rotation. Tub becomes shower and shower becomes tub with a 180 degree turn. Source.

While helping a friend with her booth for a trade show, we learned how to install grommets simply and frustration-free. If you need grommets installed for a craft, drapes, shower curtains, drawstring totebags, or your handsewn tent, DO NOT think that a grommet kit from a fabric store will be sufficient. Try to get a semi-industrial kit from the hardware store. They are heavier duty and the pricing is more reasonable. If you really want the...

"Drains are hidden heroes in your home. If you’re lucky, you can go for years without thinking about them, but when dirty sink water suddenly won’t go away or a toilet won’t flush, they can be a major frustration. A plugged drain certainly demands attention, but fixing it is probably something you can do yourself. You’ll get faster results than calling a pro, and you’ll save money, too."

When I was 8, I begged and begged for my parent's to buy me a Hypercolor t-shirt...they refused. Now, I think I'm thankful...though they did insist on buying me a whole drawerful of Ocean Pacific OP gear, so perhaps they were just cruel and weren't operating out of aesthetics.
Anyways, these Ultrabloom Heat-Reactive Tiles are totally sweet...
