A few weeks (or months) back I promised I would post pictures of our newly painted interior. I am sure many of you forgot and probably don't care either way, but some people have asked when I am going to post the pictures. Well, I like a completely finished product and though our painting is complete, the decorating is not. For the same reasons I haven't had time to blog; I haven't had time to decorate! A few pictures have been hung. A few other items have been hung or placed on a counter or table and then immediately taken back to the store due to my dislike of the look or feel of the object. I am very picky about this decorating project because I want it to be exactly what I want because I don't want to have to do it again for many, many, many years! Anyway, the kitchen is not even close to being done. Living room is about half decorated with some vases; need to hang family portraits (though I now need to replace the frames since they recently came crashing down on me a few weeks ago from a closet shelf and blessed me a with a nice gash in my lip which has now turned into a nice subcutaneous scarred bump).
As for the master bathroom, that is about 95% done. I am waiting for ONE more piece of decor. I searched and searched for this item that will be placed in between our new square, double vanity mirrors. I could only find it at Pottery Barn and was so excited at how well it matched the mirrors. I put it in my virtual "shopping cart" on February 12 (date is important here) and proceeded to check out only to get a message that stated that the product wouldn't be shipped until April 15th!! What!? How could that be? I just want ONE! Well, I searched high and low and all over the Internet for an alternative and couldn't find anything. I guess that is why the Pottery Barn item was on back order-everyone wants it and can't get it anywhere else. Here is what I am eagerly anticipating on my doorstep after April 15th:
Once this lovely item is installed and filled with the item of my choice (not providing details here), I will take a picture of the bathroom and post. As for the other rooms, well, I guess all I can say is stay tuned...it will get done in the next few months (or years!). :)
