hello everyone! let me tell you a little bit about my office. it's the place we spend a great deal of time. and probably have spent the least amount of time decorating. ok. honestly. i have done absolutely nothing to it. boxes on the floor. piles of paper scattered about. more dustbunnies than peta would approve of.
i used to say it was controlled chaos. now it's simply chaos. so it's time to spring into action. no excuses. no procrastinating. i am on it. well...sort of. because as of the moment i would rather take pictures & talk about my plans when i should be working on them.
but plans i have! & they were inspired by a discovery i made last year. a pair of trolley "roll signs". otherwise known as a destination sign or subway sign...they have grown wildly popular in decorating. not to mention price. which is why i haven't been able to land my hot lil' hands on {1}. but as luck would have it i discovered {2} when i wasn't even looking! here's a peek {below} at what all my babble is about. all w/ a perfectly aged patina as well. love.
if that discovery wasn't enough...the fellow who sold them to me actually had images {below} of the trolley they came from. so i got the goods. and the look. PLUS the history. how could i not be inspired?
faced with this cupboard {below} i needed the inspiration! now don't get me wrong. orange has it's place in my world. like on a pumpkin. or accenting our harleys. maybe my car interior. {hint...more later}. but not in my super fabulous chippy white work horse. so...take in the before...
...and be on the lookout for the after to follow. hopefully sooner than later. heck...i'd be happy with later...just as long as it doesn't turn into never. but i sense my mom...aka...cattle prod wielding enforcer... will not give me the option. she's been known to have me "running scared" i believe my hubby once said. with good reason. no one wants to let down the folks. especially those with means of "motivation".
so...on that note i best get my "paint face" on. or maybe it's good enough to just have traces of paint on my face. whatever it takes to keep the progress on a roll...and "enforcer" @ bay!
stayed tuned. i won't keep ya waiting...forever!
