There's nothing more luxurious than a long, hot shower, don't you think? So what about an outdoor shower? To me, the idea seems totally inviting and even a little liberating too! It just seems so luxurious and relaxing to be able to shower outdoors in the open air. 

You don't necessarily have to live by the beach or go to a spa to enjoy such a thing. I've gathered together eight more dreamy outdoor shower inspirations below:

If the last nursery I posted was a mix of bold colors, vintage finds, and grown-up style, this one brings things back to all baby. With a neutral palette featuring mostly whites and soft grays, I think you'll love this sweet nursery and its modern feel.

This couch potato isn't MeowWe all know that obesity is a problem with people, but it appears to be becoming a trend with our pets as well. Last month, a 39-pound cat was brought into a New Mexico animal shelter after his elderly owner could no longer care for him. The fat cat, named "Meow," became an instant celebrity, appearing on Today and Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show.

Despite his new diet, this kitty didn't make it to an episode of The Biggest Loser. He died Saturday after suffering pulmonary failure. Four veterinarians tried to save the obese feline, but nothing worked. Considering that Meow was only 2 years old, this is indeed a tragedy and a lesson for pet lovers everywhere.

Wow. I've heard plenty of cases of neighbors who aren't particularly fond of each other, but one scuffle that went down between two men in Australia brings the battle over property lines to a whole new level.

Apparently they had a huge fight over -- wait for it -- "loud music and reckless driving," which ended with one of the men going over to the other's house with a chainsaw! In self defense, the other man grabbed a samurai sword he had in his home, and the two began attacking each other. One of them was left with his arm nearly severed, and the other had his finger chopped off. (Gross!)

And no, this story isn't some weird and twisted figment of my imagination -- because you really can't make stuff like this up. (Or at least I'm not that creative.)

Staircases seem to be the landing place for just about everything; foot traffic, lost socks, folded laundry, spare shoes, you name it! Why mistreat this all-too-traveled pathway in your home with drab, ratty carpet when you could dress it up with a one-of-a-kind runner like the one pictured above?!

I don't know about you, but I could seriously watch cat videos all day long. There is just something about their sophisticated, intelligent expressions combined with their silly antics that gets me laughing. But there is nothing funnier than a cool cat who thinks he has it all going on, who believes that he is completely in charge of a situation, and then boom! something happens that lets him know that, nope, he is not quite in charge. Not at all.

In this hysterical video, a long-haired cat finally gets his comeuppance. He clearly thinks he has everything under control with this creature who is far, far below him on the evolutionary ladder -- a goldfish. But fishy has a big surprise in store for him ...

One time, my neighbor found a young pit bull tied to our building's fence. She took him in and I volunteered to walk him during the day while she was at work. He had different color eyes -- one brown, one blue -- that made him look kind of crazy. But he was the sweetest gosh darned dog ever. However, a new court ruling could mean that sweet pitties like him would remain tied to the fence post forever.

I don't know about you, but as a kid, I loved any chance I got to "camp out" in the backyard with my siblings and friends. Usually, this meant sleepovers on the trampoline. We had so much fun!

Wouldn't it be awesome to construct a backyard tent setup like the one pictured above? My kids would go crazy for something like that! Truthfully, I think I'd be the one sneaking away to read a good book (or maybe take a nap!) in there as often as I could. 

A backyard tent doesn't have to be elaborate. So in that spirit, I've gathered 4 more fun tent inspirations below.
