Annnnnnddddd......here we are week 5. The ORC. Surely I don't have to splain but just in case..... you can check out where I started if you go here.
20 of us roped in by our slave driver fearless leader Linda from My Crafty Life to makeover a room. Now I will tell you that some of these talented people are actually doing construction.....uh huh.
Lord......I can't even decide what to hang on my walls much less make timely decisions about construction.
Never mind them....it is all about me today.
Last Sunday I spent the day with paper.
Let me explain.
Yes that would be craft paper. Some dang curly stuff I might add. I was trying to be all professional and cut out my frame size cause I have 11 pictures to hang into plaster walls. And plaster don't play.
You have got to get it right the first time. I tried everything to straighten those suckers out and finally I got out the iron.
Success.
So this is what I came up with.
I am hanging these.....that were in my entry.
Of course I did not get them hung yet....BUT WAIT.....hold on....
I did get my curtains up.
I just used ready mades....I can be cheap like that with myself. Of course now I can't decide whether to add the greek trim or not. It is a small room and I am afraid it might too much.
I kind of started playing around with accessories. Nothing permanent until I have to actually take the final pictures and post the reveal.
I need to shine up my brass lamp. And I might try a cream shade.
I also need to decide on which light fixture I am going to hang....I have 4 to choose from. Whoa now...simmer down.
None are new. The original one from the show house [which I might put in my foyer], the one that is hanging in my foyer now, a pretty crystal one that I found [while walking my dogs in someones trash] or just keep what is there.
Help me.
So....here is where we stand:
hang pictures
decide on light
hang mirror over chest
knobs/pulls on chest
rug decision
accessorize [the hard part right?]
Is that enough? Get all of that done before Sunday, photograph and write the post.
Why you ask???
Well I am going on my first vacation in 7 years. Something about a little real estate purchase in 2006 that put the halt on luxurious trips.
Now before you go all "what the hell do you mean...you go to Florida all the time".....Y'all don't make me punch you. When I go down to the condo there is always something to do. Wash all the bedding, organize the kitchen, go to Target and replace all the broken crap.....and the list goes on.
Plus I still gotta cook, walk and feed the dogs...yada....yada....yada.
On this one I don't gotta do nuthin. Details later.
Why do I back myself into these corners?
Here are the links......check out all the updates they have made this week!
