I just got back from my biannual cleaning at the condo. People.....this..... is getting so old. Now it might sound like I am complaining.....and some of you would say.....WTH Sherry small price to pay right. Well I am here to tell you this......I would rather just go down there and rent so I could relax like a normal person. I can never be there without knowing there are kitchen cabinets to clean out and bedding to wash.....blah blah blah. This time around it was just me and Patchy and she was pretty bored on the 5 1/2 car ride. I had 11 hours of Christmas music to make my eyes bleed..... But this was her treat....she loves her some beach time even though it was dang cold! On to more important things.....I am having some family stay with me for Thanksgiving. That's great right? Well I am here today with a confession about a bedroom that got a little out of control. One might give it the name "hoarding room" if one could admit that. This is actually after most of it was removed.... I took everything out. And organized it into "like items". Which is a good thing right? Keeping it real....on new levels. Not really because it is all over the house. The room is now clean and semi ready for company. The bad part is I have already started redecorating it in my mind....more on that later. And I keep staring at the piles .... trying to figure out where to put, what to sell, what to donate and I am frozen. I have until Tuesday to figure this out and it is making my head itch. I need someone to slap the crap out of me. Any volunteers? I came home to a copy of this great book that my friend Cyndy from The Creativity Exchange wrote. How appropriate huh? It was like she knew I needed help.... Before I left I was helping Sudi design pillows for the January show at America's Mart. That was way more fun than cleaning out that bedroom. Just saying. I delivered these to a job site....
And because I posted about that pineapple wallpaper I had to pop over to ADAC and take a look.....another more important thing that came before going through all those piles.
I secured a little sample and found out it comes in a "petite" version Call me crazy....but I kind of like this bug wallpaper.... I also strolled into Schumacher to see one of the other color ways of my beloved Pyne Hollyhock paper up. This is a new pattern from them. It's called Boughton House Beautiful huh? It reminds me of that House Beautiful cover using the Bowood print by Colefax and Fowler. I love how it was used over and over again for impact. See how I worked my way from cleaning a condo to something pretty....I can be clever like that:) Friday's are the semi start of the weekend....you can knock off early today. On me. Shaboom.....
