  1. Oh that bathroom would be such a delight to my cats. “And I knock you off, and I knock you off, and I knock you off…”

    That rainy day haven looks a-MAY-zing.

    • My cats too! They would systematically knock them down every time they need something from me. It would be a disaster, but it is really pretty!

    • That would be my cat. In the morning. “Oh hey, you need to wake up now, or I’ll keep making noises.”
      I don’t know about you guys, but when my cat is feeling bratty he knocks something off a surface, looks at me, waits, and then knocks more stuff off while locking eyes with me.

      • My cat looks at you in the eyes while it flicks cards off a stack, one by one. Which is especially problematic if they are expensive Magic the Gathering cards, carefully stacked in decks around the house.

    • hahaha that was my first thought too. I’m still trying to figure out a way to display things on shelves without them being instantly destroyed in feline rage.

  2. YAAAAY! I made it on the montage after all, even without my unicorn painting!!!

    Now I need to take a picture of the replacement painting I was given by a particularly offbeat neighbor…

    • Iiiiii think there had been a photo in the Montage I must have swapped out at the last edit — without changing the title of the post. Thanks for the heads up. 😉

  3. OH MY GAWD SOMEONE JUST EGGED OUR HOUSE AND SCARED THE S*** OUT OF US. My door has been kicked in before so we did not know WHAT hit our house (it hit our window so it made quite the noise.) I wonder if it had anything to do with my refusing to pay the ransom? :-/ This is getting weird.

  4. a) LOVE the rainy day retreat!
    b) I have shredding scissors (not sure if it’s the same kind; I clicked the MoMa link and it told me the link was not there) and would be willing to mail them to you if you want them that badly – I personally find they don’t really work very well. If you don’t mind cutting only a half inch at a time, they work fine. Last time I used them was for herbs, which worked better (they have been washed since), but on paper? Not so great.
