I can hardly imagine what it would be like to live in a home that is also art. It's spectacular. Hit the link to see more pictures of this completely amazing house.

I swear, man, it's like This Old House online sometimes is reading my mind. My toilet is doing weird things, and lo and behold, today they have an article about "How to speak toilet." Awesome.

As for my toilet, when you flush it, it runs, then stops, then runs, then stops until it's filled. How bizarre. My guess is that I need to replace the tower that the ball cock (stop laughing) is on, since it appears to be getting stuck. Ah, the joys of homeownership, you get to do plumbing, which oddly, I enjoy.

All I can say is “Wow” to this video. Watch for yourself.

My husband is totally like Tim Taylor, sadly.

It's funny, I very rarely get interested in those "as seen on TV" products, but for some reason, the ShamWow has me captivated. Maybe it's that dude that advertises them, or maybe it's the fact that I have three kids, 2 dogs, and 3 cats and the idea of being able to clean up spills easily is like heaven to me. Whatever, I've been wondering if it really works. Well, Popular Mechanics tested the ShamWow and has the answer.

Saucy Dwellings has a really neat post about a Scandinavian bathroom remodel. The comments, I think, are the most interesting part- it appears that people in northern Europe tend to have a washing machine, but no toilet, in their bathrooms. The toilet is in a separate room, much like our half baths. You learn something new every day!
