Can I get what what??! Well gee
wiz. Thanks for all the ORC love. As I mentioned yesterday, things in my room are generally the same but I am an insufferable fiddler. I tweak things all the time, and I already have plans to change up a few things - but not the paint color - for those of you wondering what it is like to live with such a pigmented color in real life. Still drinking the color koolaid for now. If you are wondering whether or not to join the next ORC
linking party round on April 3rd, I am
here to tell you JUST DO IT. Do not pass
go. Do not collect 200. And do not miss out. You won’t regret it. Best motivation there is to get a room done
when you have a ton of peeps cheering for ya. I cannot tell
you how many people I have met through this experience, many of whom I now
consider friends, even though we’ve never laid eyez ballz on one
another. So consider yourself memo’d.
In breaking news, I stumbled across the most divine panel
of vintage Chinoiserie fabric. It is
definitely showing its age in spots but it is seriously the stuff of which my
Auntie Mame dreams are made.
Patrick, I will now be taking my
cocktails in the loo. There is just
enough for me to fashion a smashing shower curtain right after I give it a
proper cleaning, courtesy of some expert advice from the master himself, one
Mr. Eddie Ross. NBD.

| Joe Nye's bedroom with my all-time fav Le Lac via |
Having long adored this gorgeous drapery
in Joe Nye's bedroom that was featured in House Beautiful in 2009, I have in mind
a tailored situation. Gave my vintage fabric a test
drive this afternoon to make sure I had enough material. While I don’t have enough material to do a top treatment, as I have been wanting to do, or two panels with the center open, I
am still going to fancy the shiz out of this.
Because it is so happening. And my mister is so going to HATE it. But me no care.
Don't accuse me of being psychic but I am sensing a bathroom redo in my future.

Love it already! Can't wait to see it all finished!
ReplyDeleteI so love that fabric! Will you share the ER fabric cleaning tips? I have always read that a multi-day soak in a color safe bleach is best but I'd love to know for sure.
ReplyDeleteDude! Where in the hell did you score that?! I curse/praise you, good work my friend. I will want to hang out in your bathroom as well. Is there room for two drinks in there?
ReplyDeleteWhat a find, that fabric is AMAZING!!! I cannot wait to see the final results, this is going to be one gorgeous loo! BTW, Auntie Mame is one of my all-time favorite movies... It is hilarious, and a must see for any design enthusiast.

Thanks for the ORC Party mention. What an amazing fabric score. I am supposed to be on a fabric purchasing hold, but since when has anyone else in this house has a vote? Can't wait to see the shower curtain.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pattern! Love it in the bathroom! Glamorous and unexpected!
