For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by how things are put together. When I was 2 or 3 I completely dismantled my dad's alarm clock- just to see how it was put together. I was a little panicked when I couldn't put it together again. Seriously, I remember every detail of that moment. The smell of the metals, plastics, and fear of being caught. Yes, fear has a scent- especially in memory. :) My mom was really awesome about it- she laughed and called my dad. He, well, he had to get another alarm clock.
There has always been this curiosity about gadgets, furniture, vehicles, human beings (minus the bodily fluids), clothing, etc... You get the drift. This also applies to how outfits and rooms are put together. I hate shopping- but love seeing the art of fashion. I am not a clothes-horse, perhaps a mini shoe-horse, but how and why people combine things is intriguing. My current obsession is with interior design and music. So, I have a more age appropriate project to take apart and try to put together. My bathroom.
In my house, design/home magazines are referred to as 'house porn'. It makes sense, because it is full of pictures that leave you breathless and coveting/lusting after that which you cannot/should not have. Forever disappointed with the real thing. ;) I love my home. Really I do. My bathroom? Not. at. all. Especially after looking through well over 1000 of the aforementioned magazines.
HouseBeautiful,
Traditional Home,
Lonny, and numerous design blogs!! how I love thee! I digress... I am also prone to starting ideas and never getting around to finishing them. Thankfully,
this is not one of those victims! (more to come!!!) :) Where was I??? Oh, yes, bathroom project and following through. So, I thought that if I commit myself on my blog- I will finish...even if I don't post after pictures. (Remember I have unrealistic expectations from my magazine habit. If it doesn't measure up- I will just keep my reality to myself.) However, the items I plan on using are fabulous all by themselves. So, here are a few of the pieces of my new puzzle I am making....
 |
Fez mirror via Restoration Hardware
(please note! there was a killer sale for all things purchased from this store) |
 |
Oh. my. too-good-to-be-true. + coupon! Posinni chanelier via Euro Style Lighting
And I bought THE last one!!!!! Muhahahahahaha! (reality check- until they restock) |
Some are purchased...Others are ideas that require being vigilant in finding something close enough....
Perhaps by my birthday anniversary (b-days stopped a little while ago) it will be finished. Tangible. realistic. and most importantly- not in alarm clock condition.
