all hail the chief!
my black doors are gonna be so major.
they will be the boss of me.
and you.
pictures soon.
as stated earlier i am painting my french doors black this weekend.
preparations have already begun.
good news is i can basically paint away without worrying about the glass bits.
a razor blade is going to be my friend in this later on.
surely the only other person who utters those words is charlie sheen.
anyway..
happy friday fuckers.
may your weekend bring you a bit of this:
or this:
for sure this:
and these:
i love you.
and will update with pictures of doors as soon as they are done.
some of you'ns asked me where i found such a rich, saturated quality velvet..
well, it's schumacher.
the good news is it's discounted.
the bad news is it's still 105 dollars a yard.
if you haven't been to inside fabric dot com you need to cuz there's a lot of amazing fabric at a discounted rate.
anyway..
the schumacher velvets come in every color under the sun.
the velvet page reads like a paint deck.
speaking of paint decks.
nicole at sketch 42 tells me that i need to use plain black on my french doors bc
anything else will look like poopstains (my words).
(she said something about "dirty denim" but all i heard was "poopstain")
newell turner tells me i need to use high gloss.
i was going to anyway but it's fun to say outloud to the universe that newell turner gives me advice.
ok...back to the velvets.
look at some of the colors..
mmmmm.....couldn't you just die??!
go here to see all the colors.
i haven't painted anything since early fall.
i'm ready.
this weekend is 'posed to be warm.
see these french doors..
i'm gonna do it to my french doors.
i think it will be dumb.
i also need to see a man about some upholstery..
these chairs:
(shut it about the flash newell..it's just for science)
are going to be outfitted in lavender velvet..
there are going to be new pillows afoot as well..
a few in rust velvet like these:
and these:
and these:
only imagine them now against the lavender velvet..
maybe with a little of this somewhere..
heartbreakingly good.
that door painting is going to be a motherfarting pain in my butthole.
but it will be so major awesome.
i don't know why i didn't think of it before.
anyway..
watch this at least 10 times:
found via meares.
