Fuschia and black bathroom with the expanding shower
Let’s hear it for this daring bright pink and black bathroom in this Dallas, Texas home! I am loving the pink lacquered drawers with the white countertops and the black stone floor. But what really gets me about this bathroom is the expanding shower situation. FUCK YEAH, ACCESSIBILITY!

Mind blown: cut off a bottle spout to store snack bags
I just…what is there even to say, here? Basically, the picture shows you what to do. It’s brilliant and it involves a half-full bag of snacks, a wide-mouth bottle spout, and a lid.
