Do you think the rope trend is preparing to hang itself?
I shorely do love the rest of that room, though.
Happy weekend!
Get Down, Stay Down
Our bed keeps getting bigger, and something must be done about it. We upgraded to a pillow top king years ago and it was a life changing decision, but I wasn't prepared for the rather epic proportions of our new purchase. I got over it. More recently we purchased a giant gel foam mattress topper, and it's getting princess and the pea comical up in here... pretty soon I'll be able to touch the ceiling while laying supine. I mean, the bed is so big I think it may go supernova on us. Critical mass time, dudes. What do we do?
So, I'm thinking the answer might be to put our bed on the floor. I just ordered yet another rug from ebay (rugaholics anonymous), and I be loving it. Except that the bed looks kind of like a houseboat floating adrift on the Persian Sea. Let us consider this conundrum and look at some options.
I don't actually know if this bed is on the floor, but it may as well be.
I've long since given up on the idea of a headboard. Screw it.
It's just going to be me and the bed. Oh, and Better Half Ben.
So what do we think? Should I pop that puppy off the supposedly low profile box springs and hunker down even lower?
Or is that look too dormy? Maybe I should get a platform?
Like, a 6" tall platform?
Watery Goodness
Did you ever wet a piece of paper and hold a marker to the surface, watching the ink slowly spread into its outermost fibers? That's pretty much the closest I ever got to water color painting. I still look at water color images in much the same way -- checking out the edges, tracing the outline of the pigments' run for the border. So today is my homage to the glorious transparency of water. And color. Hopefully I can make it through this post before jumping the backyard fence and rushing the neighbor's pool.
Abracadabra, homies. How do you like that magic?
Have a good one!
