What’s amazing is that a song that seems so personal and so connected to a woman’s perspective from that time, was written by a man. Well, the lyrics were written by a man, Jacob Brackman. Carly Simon wrote the music, which is so crucial and effective in getting across that doubt and, eventually, reluctant compliance.

I’m not sure how autobiographical it is, but it sure is delivered convincingly.

No, I get it. Putting the nice tile on top protects from the water, but you still have the lovely wood from the side and the legs, and the other tile finishes the edges.

Looks great, btw.

“I was too busy looking for fairy tales of my own and thinking they were something that existed instead of something created”

WOW. That was a really powerful sentence.

And, I *heart* Carly Simon.

Love the bathroom vanity too!

Hey lormo — I’ll wish for snow for you guys, too. It will come, I know it! I guess the positive part of it being so warm here is that when the tile dudes are here, the stone dust can blow right through the house instead of just settling on everything. I’ll only have an inch to clean off instead of a foot. Hey! Maybe we can pretend it’s snow…

paisley — it’s definitely a song worth thinking about. I heard it was autobiographical, and that would make sense. Sad on all counts. Thanks for the vote — we finally decided that a piece of beveled glass is going over the wood. It will look gorgeous!

i totally love that song… and i agree with it meaning on thing then,, hearing it with the ears of an innocent,, and now thru the ears of someone that knows ,,, more,, cant say better even tho i want to,,,,,

i love the vanity,,, i love it with the wood exposed,,, i understand the functionality of the tile,, but the wood is just soooo much richer in my book…….

excellent choice on both counts..

I loved that song! I probably just liked the melody and didn’t think much about the lyrics though. I like the vanity! And I am currently wearing my PJs in side out and backwards (Per KRK’s request) in the hopes that we get snow! It’s 32 now, going up to just 40 today and then back down to 29 tonight. The cat sits by the fire and then gets up to go outside and can’t seem to grasp the difference in temperature. She’s like, “What the….?”
