BLACK AND WHITE BATHROOM

Howdy.

When I posted about my colonoscopy I am afraid I might have been too negative and possibly scared a few of you away:)

A reader of my blog sent me an email politely reminding me that although it's not a fun procedure it saves lives and I guess I had forgotten why I had it done to begin with.

When I turned 50 my doctor started gently urging me to have one [that is the recommended age].  As the years went on that gentle urging became a little more forceful but I still didn't do it.  I can be stubborn.

It wasn't until I turned 60 that I went....yes it took me 10 years.  Just like many of you.....I hate to go to the doctor....I guess because I am always scared of what the news will be.  

So.....if you don't go then you are probably assured to get bad news.  

The first time I did have some polyps that they removed [which were benign] but that meant I had to do it again in 5 years.   This time I had one.

So let this be my PSA....it's not that bad.  Definitely not fun.....but it might help save your life.

There....don't say I did't try to help out.

Just a cute black and white bathroom from my good friend Julie Holloway today!  Hold on to your hats cause I feel this one was designed just for me!

This mirror.....

Everything in this shot...the window treatment and that chair.....GAH.

Her signature gallery wall with vintage art.

This chair is total perfection!

Julie....you are a rock star!  You can see this at the Serenbe Showhouse right now!  

I'll have more pictures on Friday....I know #showhousecity lately!

See ya Friday gang!

POOP AND ART

Yesterday I had a colonoscopy.  I can say with absolute clarity it was no day at the beach.  Drinking the prep...and not eating for 2 days......sucked.

I got it in my mind that I would limit my food intake the few days before so as reduce the amount of food in my colon [you know...less in...less out].  Oh....I'm full of good ideas.

I forgot how flipping starving I would be by procedure time.  How hungry you ask....like "where is the nearest hot dog, pie, or hush puppy eating contest" hungry.

When my friend Maria picked me up she asked if I wanted some lunch....I practically  blew her ear drums screaming YES....and let's go to Zesto's.  I wolfed down a chili dog with slaw and some tater tots....along with onion rings.  In about 5 minutes.  Like it was my first meal since being discovered living on a deserted island for 6 months.  Don't judge.  That hot dog tasted like filet mignon to me.

I don't know about you but if I decide to be a doctor and then specialize in something I am not checking the box that reads: messing around with the area that poop comes out of.  All the time.

Enough about me.

I ordered some art on Etsy the other day.  Just a little something with color in it.  

Like this is news to anyone....but I LOVE ETSY.

I first discovered Linda Donahue's work at the mart here in Atlanta.

Her style and colors just speak to me.  

Wanna see?

She lives in the San Francisco Bay area......

I could hardly decide which one to get.  

Lately I have noticed more color in her work.....

This is a new one and I am so crazy for green, white and black lately.......

It just works.....

She also does horses....

And check these out....

Linda is so talented.....when I think of my silly DIY black and white pictures.....I sigh.  No...the Art God's did not rain down on me.

But Linda can save the day.

 

I poped it into a little Target frame and Ta Da......

She has ton's of selections....large and small......go here and take a look.

Holiday weekend people......Let's have fun!

Shapoopoo....:)
