BFH (that's what TY calls it) news- they got all the joints taped yesterday and the place is swept out. Also the tile goop got delivered and fills one entire garage door to the top- don't know why they piled it all up in that line, seems that putting it IN the garage would have been easier since they can back their trucks right in. Anyway, I don't know when that starts. Today I have to finalize all the interior paint colors and that'a giving me a touch of anxiety- last thing I need is to be repainting two story rooms or stairwells over again! Thus, my next report just might be how I painted everything white. (As if...)
Tomorrow I am headed down to Old Dixie Highway where the antique and consignment shops are cheek-to-jowl and I may just find something fabulous. I've been checking out their websites though and most of what I see is of the Palm Beach style- saturated pastels and lots of painted bamboo at inflated prices. Coral, grass green, and Lily pink. Etregers up the wazoo. I'll give it a try though- several friends have had exceptional luck there but most are a lot preppier than I am, though admittedly it doesn't take much a move to be out of my taste zone. I am calling it 'eclectic' because that covers a multitude of sins, one of which is my primitive teak alligator. Another is my massive collection of mud cloth. And the 20 rabbits unhappily swimming in a tank 7' photograph.
And that folks, is exactly why I changed my major from interior design back in college. If I have such a time pleasing ME, how in hell can I ever please somebody else?
Off to the studio to finish up the lampshades, then to go look for some ribbon trim. I just might have some things to show you by the end of the day.
So, today lets talk about PATTERN. I'm sticking to my favorite palette:
Oh look, she has red hair too!
Do you think I'll get an Apple Watch for mother's day? Me either.
