let the mayhem begin.

we started reno's yesterday. i hate spotlights, especially cheap ikea ones with gross matte-silver finish. Sooooooo 2000. Taking that monstrosity off and installing my rooster wall sconce on the side wall instead.

I didn't know walls in Hong Kong were real brick and mortar. Ah well, live and learn.


We also removed the gross built-in vanity and mirror from the bedroom.

I had to interview someone at 6:30 that day, and my work fuck-you heels became covered with concrete dust. Blegh.

The fugly closet - ideas

After posting last night I dreamed, and dreamed some more. I thought about the closet, the primed closet... then Ikea Hacker came along.

These people are very creative with their Ikeas! I love Ikea, I love their organization thingys, their kitchen gadgets (much cheaper than Stark/Alessi)... I bought these floral appliques from them a while back on a whim:


They are flexible and you can adjust the height and direction of the flowers... they were fairly cheap.

And then I thought about sticking them to my closet:


Or maybe just all three on one side.

Then I thought and dreamed more and I realized I do NOT want to wake up and see the following immediately:

1. bright things
2. shiny things
3. dizzy patterns
4. ex-boyfriends
   
5. my own, just-awake, frumpy self

Then I saw these amazing wallpaper from Graham Brown Wallpaper:


Imagine these on those closet doors!
