it's hot out here...

but lest we forget...snowmaggedon '09-'10!

serenity now

or at least a watery bathroom scheme. this turquoise is so intense it makes my eyes water--a good thing!

i like neutrals, i swear

as long as there is some good texture involved, i'm for neutrals

a peaceful coexistence

greige and neon grellow can stand being in the same room as one another

my favorite tile scheme

i have dreams of a grellow and carrara bathroom. with a lucite queen anne's chair, zebra print cushion. crystal chandelier. crystal knobs. white vanity (with an actual sit down 'vanity' area)...i love the neon intensity of the glass here. it's pretty punk rock for tile...

and another...

1. 3x6 pillow subway in biscuit

2. camouflage beige paint

3. pink paint

4. glass mosaic orange/red/iridescent as a wall accent

5. nickel fixtures

6. black cabinet

7. orange caesarstone counter

8. cashmere sink/shower floor (if not tiling)

9. porcelain floor in tabby cat

10. biscuit commode/tub

yum, yum: peaches

peaches, lovely on their own, but in this cobbler--shaZAam! try it out, so buttery, sugary and delicious:

pre-heat oven 375 degrees

6-8 peaches, peeled and sliced

2tbs butter

1/2c sugar (1c if you don't have the sweetest peaches, this year's are stupendous!)

pinch cinnamon

pinch salt

--place 3-5c sliced peaches in  a skillet over medium heat with 1/2c sugar for 10-15 min. add two tbs butter, cinnamon and pinch of salt. place cooked peaches in 8x12 baking dish with some juice (but not enough to boil over if the dish is shallow; i added all of the juice to a baking dish with 3 inch sides with no subsequent spills). place aluminum foil under pan to catch spills while cooking. 

for crust:

1 egg

1c self rising flour

1c sugar

6tbs butter

--mix one egg, flour and sugar till lumpy. melt 6tbs butter. sprinkle lumpy batter over peaches in pan, then pour butter on top 

bake for 30 minutes then pour any extra juice over top; this cobbler soars with vanilla ice cream!
