So..................I crept out in the middle of the night - and did this
before - sorry almost forgot to take the before - so everything has already been removed! |
and then came in the office to post - and lo and behold sitting in the corner of the room was a mirror I bought
from Home Sense months and months ago - loved it but had nowhere to put it -
it's at home now...................doesn't everyone buy things with nowhere at all to put it or wear it - just in case?
So now you know what happens when insomnia runs away with decor obsession...........
Plus roughly 30 minutes spent sourcing marble tiles for the floor.
And around 30 minutes trying to teach myself how to silverleaf furniture on line ( so I can
do the small table in the photo )
And playing with the idea of painting it black instead ( this thought process can take way longer
than 30 minutes - especially when sleep deprivation kicks in )
And another 30 minutes on MLS looking at which houses I would buy if I could afford
them ( and probably another 30 minutes decorating them in my mind )
And have to be at Nella's to paint today -
What did everyone else do last night?
Sleep perchance?

I love it! And you are so right that insomnia runs with design freaks like us! I should put my insomnia to better use like you did. Did you go outside in the dark to collect the branches? I was laughing at that image!

I can't even imagine how badly I'd freak out if I woke in the morning to a whole new paint job in the house. You're insane, and your husband, oh how he loves you!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the stripes. I also love the look of silverleaf but don't want the mess that goes with it. I recently used BM metallic aluminum enamel to paint a french provincial desk, dresser and nightstands. Really love it! You should look into it.
