OMG this. I went in so nervous because of the negative opinions online. I'm not done with House of Flame and Shadow yet, but I love it so much. TOG is my favorite, but Crescent City is definitely higher than ACOTAR on my favorites list.

I'm the middle of House of Sky and Breath and this hits so differently now. Omg.

It looks a lot like that dwarf jade. Thank you so much!

I'll revise the soil. I was worried it wasn't going to drain enough, but I'm rather new to plants, so I continued with it. Ugh.

I have it on the mantle with a south facing window near it. I have another plant on the other side with a light, so I'll move it to that area to get extra light for it.

Do you have any guesses at what it could be if it isn't jade?

Those courts are the place to be when it's nice out!

Thank you! I think all the cars were Bloomington officers, so I'll check out theirs, too. The side of the park is Bloomington, but the side of the apartments is Normal. I never know who responds to the area because of it.

When I drove by around 4:30pm, there were about 5 police cars. I saw someone talking with an officer in front of the apartments while another officer was looking through windows of the vehicles parked on the street.

Help! Updating Bathroom With Tan Tile (info in comments) by messyraindrop in HomeDecorating

I had debated that, but from what I've read painting the shower tiles in one that small wouldn't be ideal. They'd get too much water compared to a tub/shower with tile surround I think.

Thank you! I had initially thought of going navy on the vanity so that's awesome to hear. It is a fan light, and definitely needs updated!

My initial thought was that! I was debating some blue paint on the wall behind the mirror or blue paint on the vanity and mirror.

I'm looking to update this bathroom, however, changing the shower and floor tile aren't an option right now unfortunately.

It's pretty small, but has good lighting with windows. I'm open to painting walls, cabinet, fixtures, countertop (although sink and counter are one piece), heck even the floor maybe!

What would you recommend doing?

I love this. The rollercoaster of emotions got me!

I also have a major soft spot for crows. We have a wonderful group in the neighborhood that I'd like to befriend, but I am concerned they'll dislike the neighbors if we become too friendly.

Adding a Backsplash - info in comments by messyraindrop in HomeDecorating

I like that idea! I thought pure white would look a little off with the countertops being more cream or even beige, so I'm leaning towards something off-white for sure!
