As I'm sitting here pumping these things out like a cow is sucked dry of milk whether it's willing or not, I realize that I keep the most bizarre set of furnishings in my room. I've got this enormous 28" black LCD monitor, black 5.1 surround sound, black keyboard, black/blue mouse, black PC tower. OK, so thats kinda normal right? I assume you're fine with the black office storage, black wireframe notepad holders, organizers, pencil holders, ect. How about the gunmetal Business card holder? So you're with me so far...
Now for the fun part.
Next to all this, on the white cherry and black particle board corner desk, i have this beautiful antique lamp. You know, the brass base, elegant slopes and curves, candleholder looking bulb casing. Well, behind it i have this awesome tribal pattern sheet that i use as blinds. Its tan with black tribal designs all over it...i'll see if i can find a picture of something like it later. Its not quite done getting wierd. I've got a sleepnumber bed on a junky pine bedframe stained to look like red oak, and a cedar/black nightstand on wheels looking thing holding a silver plastic alarm clock. Oh, and did i mention the entire room is trying to sqeeze itself around an awesome looking fireplace! Also, did i mention that it doesnt work! Yeah, thats snazzy...i had to vacuum dirt and soot out of it and restuff fiberglass up the chimney to keep homeless people and small animals out to make it suitable to look at too...
Now if thats not enough of a "WTF" collection, i've got a 17" Miter Saw sitting in my floor staring at me along with a huge box of Craftsmen power tools and my tool best in the corner...leaning up against 2 spare matresses behind the door...with a mirror leaning agaisnt them...then theres my trusty Mossberg 500 with beanbag shells loaded in it sitting under my bed.
Like i said, Already ran out of ideas. Maybe there will be more tonight...2 down, 4 to go? at least i've got till tuesday :/
(or do i?)
this is an awesome entry. i don't know if the opening phrase is original with you or not, but it certainly is vivid and descriptive. and i really like how you are aware of and depict the disparate "design" in your room.
ReplyDeletekeep catching up! it's good to see.
think how great it will be when you just have to KEEP up rather than CATCH up.
