I normally lurk here, but we're finally starting up work on our house again so I'm going to do my best to join in instead. I've been waiting for someone to start a thread about this, but since it hasn't happened I have to ask. I love House Tweaking and really like most of her choices, but this mirror...
Have I just read too many posts about the vagina vase that are making me look for genitalia in home decor?

I really like H*T, but I really think every blogger should have to design/build/remodel a house as if Ikea didn't exist. I only say that b/c I'm too far from an Ikea to get anything and so I always feel like my options are 2-3X's more expensive for the same stuff.
That said, I didn't see a penis, just that it would look better if it was taller or actually installed instead of sitting on the ledge.
I like the mirror and colors but it seems like such a waste for a laundry area. I agree--I'm tired of seeing it. Mostly, it just seems impractical. Like, moving those photos to change dryer settings. I know she said she doesn't do it that often, but that would drive me crazy. Not EVERYTHING has to be disguised for what it is.

I like the mirror a lot, but the uneven, sloppy curtain is driving me nuts! I love HT, but her new house hasn't been as much fun to see as I thought it would be. I agree that the decorated laundry area thing is just too much. There are some areas in a house that I prefer to stick with a utilitarian look.

clementine and katecoop - I think she's doing so much around the laundry b/c it's in the main hang-out area of her house. Isn't that the breakfast nook/dining area also?
That's a laundry room? Holy hell. Am I the only person on the planet who's laundry room is in use everyday, full of dirt and piles of clothes that constantly need to be sorted? Not to mention how linty the dryer makes stuff (Yes, it's vented). I'd never have time to clean all that stuff. Get in, get out, be done with it.
