I've managed to put in the second rod in the bedroom closet this week. I think instead of shelves I will also be putting rods in the bathroom closets. I have enough closets, I just don't know what to do with them. The armoire is filled to capacity...and that means.....allowing enough space between clothing so they don't crinkle and wrinkle.
The armoire now holds the button downs, all oh i dunno, 60 of them and the pants. I fall asleep during attempts to count my pants! Some were bought years ago and never worn. Might even have the tags still. And they would need to be tailored as my current bod is that of a voluptuous child. My abs are starting to form a nice definition again. I think if i were to move again soon, I would have a tremendous build.
Sometimes I see people my age with double chins, big guts, saggy everything...how do they let that happen?!! I can see thinning hair and balding not under their control...but the rest....It's all rather sad. I like all this new "regulation"...re: sodas, fatty foods, training our children to eat well....to make better choices about what they consume. Why is everyone in America so FAT!
OMG, that segue was preposterous. buttons downs to fat bottoms?! I digress!
The "master" closet..... Ooooh, I have a master closet? Lol. The master closet holds the jackets. Only I really didnt think it through, the second rod...gets in the way of dresses, all 7 that I have, and the coats. The long woolen winter coats. UGH! What to do! What to do? Shall I move again.
I certainly am learning what my needs are very clearly. And maybe that's the best part of living in a smaller space.... You assess correctly....instead of just collecting mad items because you have the room and THEY FIT!
So here is are some of my button downs; just the yellow to pink colours. They look pretty hanging like that.

But now I've the second rod. And now the pleasant colours are hidden away.
The apartment feels rather dull, too beige for me. I need to add some colour to the walls. I am thinking that a blue, something either cool....like in the grey family might be okay, but i might have to then change the duvet cover....or something in the blue green family...but very very light. A light to medium blue with just a hint of yellow. That was the colour of my bedroom before. Perhaps I should select a different colour. Maybe a skin colour! According to Feng Shui skin colours are perfect for the bedroom. I wonder if there is a colour called Flesh. That is the colour I want for my walls.
This blog was written to the tunes of "Sounds from the Ground" by UK duo Elliot Morgan and Nick Woolfson and Carbon Based Lifeforms (CBL) artistsJohannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad . Tunes that get me through the horrible mediocrity the day showers over me.
Speaking of showers, I think I need a THIRD shower curtain! I won't show my tub yet, it's too special. I need to hire a model with gorgeous legs and fire engine red toe nails (would be more interesting if it was a male ay?) against that footed tub-o-mine. I wish I could move it into the living room tho. Wouldn't that be different. Here's a little peek at my messy bath. I mean closets in the Bath! Really?!!!! The one on the left is about 4-5 feet wide! It's got boxes I need to go thru that I've not unpacked! UGH! After this month I never want to see another box again!
Cheers!
Celebrate closet doors! Where you can close out from the naked eye, anything that you don't want to look at or have it seen by anyone!! Life should be taken in small doses, else it becomes overwhelming, but how do you do that in New York, my dear?? I absolutely love the clawfoot tub, a charming relic of simpler days gone by?
