Here is an email we received from a reader named Mari: “I have the world’s smallest bathroom. I tried a couple of things, but nothing’s seem to work in it. The worst thing it’s not its small size, but how the things are put together. I even had an architect to take a look, but there was no way to change the things out of their original place. The bathroom is 83cm x 2.40m. The shower is 80x80cm. I was wondering if you can get me some ideas.” I honestly don’t know what to say about this because it really is T. I. N. Y. My advice is blow out a wall but I’m guessing that ain’t gonna happen. An architect friend of Mari’s said that it would be possible to blow out the wall on the left, but when it was time to do it, it was discovered that that was some kind of building regulation against it. So if you guys have any ideas for Mari, fire away! (P.S. I did a “small bathroom” reader request a couple months back but I’m not sure that post would even help in this case).

Dear Dominique Vorillon,

You don’t know me but I have devoured every image in your portfolio and I’m sorry but it leaves me wanting… wanting more and more and more. I have a little reputation in the blogosphere of being a photographer tramp. I find ’em, I love ’em and I leave ’em. Not you Dominique. I’m smitten. You’re a master of your work. No wonder interiors and architecture are your forte. Holy cow! The breadth of your portfolio. Is there a style you haven’t captured? I’ll go now. I know I can get a little insistent, a little embarrassing. I’ll just be lurking in the background, just loving your work.

The last couple of days have been quite eventful and I unfortunately did not have time to do a regular post for today. Let me briefly explain why. My younger sister Jennifer gave birth on Sunday to a totally gorgeous and rather hefty (9 lbs 6 oz) little girl named Gianna. Both are doing pretty good considering Jen had to have a C-section and Gianna is jaundiced. I was at the hospital yesterday afternoon snapping as many photos as I could (luckily I did because she then had to be placed under blue lights for the jaundice which didn’t make for great photos) and spent the evening trying to tweak them to perfection (and dealing with some blog duties). So today I do not have any room porn for you all to enjoy, but some photos of Gianna. (Regular scheduled posting from me will resume tomorrow).

… Happy Halloween

The packing continues along with lots of coffee, the occasional break and mutterings that I have waaaaay too much “stuff”. Hope you enjoy exploring these blogs as much as I did. I’m headed back to the boxes. If you want to see what else has been going on at my place this week you can find out more on my page.
