Well hello peeps! I've missed you.....but I was down for a while with Covid! Yup...I was kind of lax getting my booster and I actually thought it was just a cold as those were my symptoms but I noticed my taste and smell were off so that is what made me go to the drugstore and get a test.
Luckily the few people I did have some contact with were not infected...... except Rose....and I like to share everything with her anyway:) What was weird was that our symptoms were SO different....She had a fever and I never got one....and she did not lose her smell or taste.
Anyway I still have the sniffles but feel pretty good over all. A little tired in the afternoons....
I have a little update on one of my fav projects....it's the one that I did the bathroom for! I am sure all of you have been hearing about the supply chain problems so of course furniture has been slowly trickling in.
I am so used to getting it all in and then doing a major install but at this time I just don't want people to be waiting for things any longer.....
Anyway the bed finally arrived and I remember being so angst about ordering a camel colored bed but in the end I trusted my gut and boy am I glad I did!
Remember when I installed this amazing Romo wallpaper on just the bed wall?
She already had these lamps so I just got some new shades...and that was an improvement right away!
I ordered these Noir night stands...I needed something that was not too deep as there is a closet door on one said and these were perfect. Plus I knew I wanted black as they also had this amazing MCM dresser that they wanted to keep!
This is the dresser.....
Here is a closeup of the blinds I ordered....
After the light fixture was installed I found the most amazing vintage rug that was perfect!
Here is a closeup of the bed with the wallpaper....I don't know about you but I am in love!
And here she is in all of her glory.....I think the rug is the shining star!
I love when I room looks curated and I think one has that feeling with some vintage mixed in with the new....
She had the art so I hung it but it will eventually go in the bathroom as I found an amazing piece for this wall. Need to get it framed first!
I also found a chest for under the TV....I looked long and hard for this as it needed to blend with both the MCM dresser and the black nightstands....
It still has a clean look but it is a darker finish than the dresser.....they really need storage since this downsizing and I was so happy to find it!
I also found an amazing mirror to go over the dresser but have not had a chance to get it hung yet!
Of course now I am in a dither to find a lamp and some accessories. It's always something:)
So it's been a little over 3 months since I lost my sister to cancer. I still walk by her house everyday and think all the same things that everyone else thinks when they lose a loved one too soon.....I wish I could pick up the phone and call her. As a family we are about to spend Thanksgiving in her new kitchen and it will be such a bittersweet moment as she had been talking about this renovation for a couple of years.
I think the thing about death is... it's hard to realize sometimes how final it is....and of course there is always thoughts of "could I have done more"....other medical treatments that we could have tried....
Maybe it would have extended her life a few months but the outcome would have eventually been the same.
Hope you guys are all well.....
