Day 20: (There is no 19)

I have discovered the secret to a beautiful home. . . Yep.
I know you are all on the edge of your seats (while I pretend to build suspense).

Ready?

Flowers. Fresh flowers.

I have decided that no matter how grungy a countertop, if there's a vase of fresh flowers sitting upon it, the magic of misdirection happens. The flowers pull focus from the dust and the crumbs, and even the stacked plates waiting their turn in the dishwasher seem less like a project unfinished and more like an art installation.

Ok, I went to far with that last part.

Anyway, I spent yesterday doing humdrum household tasks (changing sheets! Argh!... etc), so I bought myself flowers. Totally worth it.

Between that and some sunshine after all the ice and snow, I was ready to get back into Operation Bathroom Makeover.

Almost there. Hope to have a picture for you tonight!
