Things That Make You Go Hmmm...

In the quest to find tile inspiration for our bathroom renovation, I came upon this interesting idea: coin flooring. What are your thoughts?

Indoor Slides

I don't want my house to be a "fun house" but there is something about a slide that intrigues me. It is not just for kids. I think I would like mine to be hidden the walls with a nonchalant exit spot maybe behind a staircase.

Oh yes, my friends, that there is an indoor slide. And who doesn't love those? Located in a (clearly) amazing house in Indonesia, this slide starts on the second floor, near the kid's bedrooms, and ends up in the kitchen.

Indianapolis wood craftsman Rodney Miller spent 15 months building what might be the fastest, most elegant, indoor slide this side of the Mississippi.

The Mahogany slide is about 17 feet tall, has a 13-foot drop and a 270-degree turn, and is the frivolous lasivhment of Boston Technology’s co-founder, Scott Jones’, tudor style suburban mansion.

Indoor Swings

I have always wanted an indoor swing... Why? Why not! The kitchen would be a perfect place.

Outdoor Showers

This is also on my wishlist if I could have anything in a house that I desired: an outdoor shower. A necessity would be at least a few acres so the neighbors couldn't see in.

Summer Is Done

The hot days of summer are numbered. This fun day ranks as one of the best! Thank you Ashley Ann of Ashley Ann Photography for this great idea. Here is the link if you would like to see more.

This project is great to do in a dry plastic pool. When the boys were done, we hosed them off and added bubbles to the water.
