    Bathroom tile

    I have the same kind of floor tile, but with white dots. The dots come in a few different colors. It feels good in bare feet, and it isn't slippery even when it's wet.

    Bathroom tile

    Here are some more. There's even a picture of a pink, turqoise, white and gray bathroom. Scotrace posted a link to some 1911 illustrations that were the inspiration for my remodel. http://thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=24760 I also used gray grout. It's hard to keep white grout...

    Help required from the powder room ladies

    I appreciate some of the looks of the past, but I don't want to wear a costume. I also don't have the figure for most vintage clothes. For those reasons, I buy high quality classic or vintage inspired pieces at sale prices or on consignment and wear them for a long time. If a piece is in a...

    Bathroom tile

    I'm not sure about 50s bathrooms, but I have photos of some of the bathrooms in the Hearst Castle--the ultimate in Golden Era glamor. They used black marble or granite on the walls and small white hex-shaped tile on the floor. The fixtures were gold toned. If you want to go with natural stone...

    Nothing on the first 5 pages of Google about me. Ha! I do prefer flying under the radar.

    There was a thread about songs with one's name in them. Not everybody liked having their name sung.

    My parents named me Indiana Jones

    Some people are giving their kids offbeat names so that they'll appear in Google searches more easily. I have a very common name (first and last) and often thought it would have been nice to have a slightly unsual first name. But having a common name gives you more privacy. I've never Googled...

    My parents named me Indiana Jones

    She could also go by India. It's a unsual name, but there's some precedence for it. And yes, "Indiana, like the state" should clear up how to spell it, but frequently, it won't. I have resumes from people seeking secretarial positions who couldn't copyedit a comic strip.

    My parents named me Indiana Jones

    My minor niece had her named changed from Nikka to Jessica. Nikka isn't that bad a name...unless you're over the age of 12.

    My parents named me Indiana Jones

    My supervisor has an unusual name. Often I hear her on the phone saying, "Lark. Lark. No, Lark. L-A-R-K. Lark." That's gotta get old.

    Dance Classes-What to wear, what to bring?

    Another tip for staying cool: Eat something--it's as important as drinking water. Nothing heavy, just a protein and a carb, like some cottage cheese and a piece of fruit.

    Dance Classes-What to wear, what to bring?

    There's a thread on learning to dance that includes what to wear.

    NYPOST: A TOUCH OF CRASH (DEPRESSION-ERA CHIC)

    (emphasis added) Yes, I don't picture any of the items shown becoming wardrobe workhorses that can be worn for long without looking "last season."

    NYPOST: A TOUCH OF CRASH (DEPRESSION-ERA CHIC)

    There's enough room in that bag for some shoes, a can opener and a couple pounds of potatoes.

    Those Were The Days My Friend

    I see that the benefit of an unhappy youth is that you don't miss it when it's gone.

    Weird and Forgotten Movies

    I watched The Shanghai Gesture over the weekend. Hammy acting, weird hairstyles and reality show antics. Blech! No wonder I'd never heard of it.

    Moving? maybe...

    We've had a few threads on this topic. A Google search should turn them up. :)
