There has been a little bit of an evolution into how I feel about the show Shipping Wars. First off I thought that I would never watch that show. They had already roped me into Storage Wars after all. Then of course I tuned in one night expecting to see Storage Wars and it was the shipping counterpart. I should’ve just gone on youtube and watched what people had recorded as the result of their sony camcorder deals.

I was absolutely floored right away by how good it was. However, then after the second show I thought maybe they should change it to Whining Wars. Every single shipper thinks they are the best and they are the only one who can do the job. They whine at every little thing they have to do which is also part of the job. I almost can’t stand it because it’s is so whiny. I was expecting them to be a little bit tougher.

I’ve been watching a lot of Bridezilla shows as well as My Fair Wedding and Who’s Wedding Is It Anyways? I’ve seen all of these brides spends thousands of dollars and lose friends and family members over their controlling behavior. At least once though they all seem to say that they just want their wedding over with. Since I haven’t been a bride myself I wonder if every bride has this moment and if so why she ever even bothers to plan such an elaborate wedding to begin with. Most of them just say on their wedding day that they’re excited for the Honeymoon. I’d at least want to build my own wooden gazebos. That way I could keep it in my yard and enjoy it after all the stress was over.

I am always aware of the latest interior design materials thanks to all of the decorating shows I watch. It seems like whenever they do a kitchen makeover now they include glass tiles. At first this just started out as a backsplash. I’ve also seen it used for a countertop on a vanity. It’s even a popular floor to ceiling look in bathrooms to create a focal wall.

When I was looking around the Eden Mosaic Tile site though I found out that there are a lot more than just glass mosaic tiles. I had seen stainless steel before but I’d never come across aluminum and even wood versions. I also knew about there being stone versions like slate; but I had no idea that there were dual versions with both materials. This way you get the natural look of stone and the shimmer of glass. When I saw this material on TV I thought it would be out of my price range but the clearance section makes it affordable.
