I haven't posted or basically been on here since 2023 which was the dark ages so I have to ask CAN I POST A FRIGGEN PICTURE THESE DAYS?! 😆 No clue. Hi. 👋 Hope everyone here is healthy and happy. Lots has happened. We no longer have a steampunk den. Now it's a pink dining room with flower murals (painted by moi). Attic is finished. Oh & we painted the woodwork on the outside of the house pink, black & metallic copper. I have a lot of taxidermy mice. Basically, they're everywhere in the house drinking mini beers & eating mini tater chips pumped out by 3-D printers compliments of Etsy. Maybe I'll do a story. Should I do a story? I don't remember how. Bees is good - down to 8 teeth but otherwise intact. Mike is great. Happy the house is done. Ish. I came on here to plug 's new book Tales of A Not So Tiny House which is MAGNIFICENT & you can buy it on Amazon. Also to plug from which I bought the cutest teensy crocodile taxidermy. Swipe for details. Trust me, between the two, you can't imagine how much fun can be had for less than $100 😆. Fabulous! How is everyone? What have I missed? 😆🫣❤️
Behold before & after snippets showing how our “maid’s” staircase looked in 2016 the first time I saw the house vs. now. I speeded up my first trip down the stairs so you can’t see how slow I had to walk to keep from falling, which I did more than once after we moved in (Mike too, & the dogs). It’s nuts to think these were main access between floors for a servant who’d be carrying all manners of things. And these aren’t nearly as treacherous as others I’ve seen in town, which require you to turn sideways & go full slow poke or maybe take your last step ever.

Doing this video of the most under-appreciated room in our house makes me want to do a full house tour reel. I was going to wait until the attic is done, but I guess there’s no harm in showing unfinished business. Soon. Ish.

I said I’d make a tutorial showing how I did this chandelier (inspired by the Erickson Beamon Glam Rock Chandelier), but my photo documentation was poor & I didn’t do video. In my defense, I was anxious to get the scaffolding out of here after 3 months, so I cranked this out in 4 days, working 8-9 hrs or so a day to finish. I have the exact same unfinished chandelier hanging now in the to-be attic bathroom & I’ll do a better job documenting that one for a tutorial. The short story is I wrapped the arms in rhinestone cup chain, faux pearl trim & rhinestone mesh & layered on rhinestone trim. Bobeches have 4 row rhinestone trim, colored rhinestone trim & iron-on trim (which also is on the insulators). Large draped pearls are multi-strand costume necklaces. The rest is layered up 4 row rhinestone trim, colored rhinestone buttons & brooches, loose pearls & tabletop jewel scatters. It’s all attached w/ hot glue. I bought everything on Etsy, Amazon, Planet Rhinestone & the local craft store. Not as hard as it looks, but TEDIUM & tight crannies. That’s all. 💅

The first time I saw our house, I thought we’d just give the kitchen a good cleaning, paint the fugly brown cabinets a nice cream color, replace the hardware & call it done. Then I found the epic eBay deal on the appliances ($8,500ish total for the stove, matching dishwasher, & 2 matching fridges & beverage center w/ free delivery) & the spit shine plan went to hell. We bought the appliances while living 2,500 miles away & had no idea if they’d fit. Given there are 8 door openings (& 3 windows) between the butler’s pantry & kitchen, we’re lucky they did (& barely). I have no regrets. Mike has a few, but thankfully, his memory is short.

Some of you may remember the faux farmhouse plant stands I upcycled within an inch of their lives using metal leaf, feathers, rhinestones, pearls & Marie Antoinette transfers. Well, here are their new cousins. I gave these more of an antiqued patina and dark floral look, just b/c there’s only so much Marie Antoinette I can tolerate. I’m sure you feel the same. Anyhoo, happy Wednesday and may the frippery be with you. 💅

I decided to show off my $25 Facebook Marketplace 🦓 chair which I’ve upcycled within an inch of its life as well as this year’s Halloween mantle. I think I lost a pair of scissors in there. The second mantle is pending as it’s even bigger if you can imagine which I’m sure you can. I lived my entire life without a fireplace mantle and suddenly I have two. It’s an embarrassment of riches. More later. May the pumpkins be with you. And stuff. 🎃

If the theatrical music choice & grandiose timing within made you laugh, then my work here is DONE. 😂🙌 Seriously though, it's apropos b/c I'm very honored to be included in Siobhan Murphy's newly released book about maximalist home décor, “More is More Décor," which I finished reading over the weekend. It's a wonderful book full of practical advice & magical inspiration (this combo makes my fav kind of interiors book btw) & I think anyone wanting to explore maximalism &/or refine it in their own home will enjoy the lush pictures & Siobhan's tips & tricks regarding this highly personal, layered, & creative style. There’s also bits about the history of the style as well as it’s current iterations I think you’ll find interesting. It's available on UK Amazon which happily does ship here to the states. You can find the link in ’s profile & my highlights. I'd highly recommend the book even if our home wasn't in it. ❤️

If I was on the ball, I'd be leading the pack & this shower would be buried in dangling gourds w/ floating cinnamon sticks & Yankee Candle tea lights in some sort of hayride pumpkin leather scent. If only Instagram was scratch & sniff, although I hesitate to say that b/c one day it probably will be. Some things really are better left unsmelled but tell that to the masters of the universe. I’m taking a wee break from attic fun to finish painting window frames before snowmageddon starts & it’s too cold to open the windows, or they’re frozen shut, b/c that’s just around the corner. In the meantime, swipe to see the shower mural & also the screaming red tile that just arrived. This will go in the attic shower & hopefully that work will commence in October. I’m just in love w/ the whole shower mural concept. Life’s too short for boring showers.

I confirmed 2 things w/ yesterday’s post. 1st, I was right that after spending 3 mos teetering on a ladder atop scaffolding painting this 17-ft ceiling, the chandelier would get more attention. Just goes to show, a blinged out chandelier can make a room. 2d is that video snippets have their place. Content forever. 🙌 PS I’ll do a tutorial on how I did the chandelier. PSS … I signed this ceiling. 😂
