I am in need of gazing upon something lovely.
I find myself spending inordinate amounts of time just looking at images of beautiful things.
(Like this beautiful interior, featuring the new Designers Guild Amrapali collection. Isn't that wallpaper stunning?)
As a serial collector & acquirer, and constant reshuffler, it is starting to drive me crazy that all my treasures are - well, actually I no longer know where most of them are. Somewhere vaguely in the direction of the shed, or the garage, or somewhere in between.
If I understand anything about myself, it is that I really enjoy having my 'things' around me, and I miss them.
Yes, I'm that shallow.
Life here at home is gritty.
The floor-sanders have been having a fabulous time.
I have never seen so much dust in all my life. There is no escaping it.
Insidiously, it finds its way into and on top of, and across everything.
The vacuum makes a path through it, and by morning another layer has settled.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel.
In a few weeks time I will be able to unpack everything, and all this minor inconvenience will be behind us.
And then I will just have the problem of trying to convince Brunnel that some of my new acquisitions are really just old ones that just haven't seen the light of day for some time.
Which, strictly speaking, is true!

I just adore the new DG designs. Simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt will be lovely to reposition your treasures around your home. Unpacking them will be just like Christmas.
Did you enjoy WOW the other night?
Should we all send you little gift cards which you could tie to some of your new acquisitions to pass them off as presents from your blogging friends in Brunnel's eyes?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the ordeal is nearly over, and would be bereft without all my own Treasured Stuff. The wallpaper is magnificent.
I would be a bit sad without all my nice things around me too! And that wallpaper is divine :) Abbey x
ReplyDeleteIt's not shallow to love your things, that's crazy talk! Just give Brunnel a drink and bask in your unpacking and positioning when it comes. He won't have a clue :)
ReplyDeleteWow love the room...hang in there with all that dust :)

You can't be any more shallow than me....just look at my blog !! SHALLOW !!
ReplyDeleteI bet you can't wait for the dust to settle ( haha ) and start the nice bit of getting everything out and looking lovely....and obviously buying lots of new, lovely things !! XXXX
Mmmmmm I'm also loving the gorgeous chair and the wavy pink bowl in this cheery setting. Very exciting that your longhaul reno is nearing completion. It will be like the best christmas ever unpacking and making your new nest into home- sweet-home.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that the end is almost in sight for you, Amanda. xx
