When my gal pal Elizabeth from Little Black Door first asked me to take part in her rather fabulously revealing series, “Fess Up Fridays” – my first thought was OMG I FEEL LIKE A COOL KID!! Because she has so many awesome guests, it’s a little mind-blowing.
My second thought was OH NOOOOOO I’M GOING TO HAVE SHARE A SECRET.
And then I locked myself in the closet with a large pack of Oreo cookies and cried.
Once the cookies were demolished and I wiped the crumbs and tears combo from my puffy face (such a picture I paint for you guys), I realised, it’s good to be real even if it’s sometimes scary. To let people know that despite the pretty pictures, this is REAL life and REAL TIME decorating and while I’d love to have a magical fairy come to my home and sprinkle dust to finish every last project on our list, the truth is, we still have some way to go.
One of those things on our still-long checklist is our hallway – something I’ve not really shown before on the blog. Want to see it in all it’s gory realness (including crap all over the floor?)? Sure you do, you nosy parker you.
Hop on over to Elizabeth’s Little Black Door and let me know I’m not alone.
Happy Weekend folks!
P.S. If you haven’t entered my competition to win some fabulous designer gear, then you should enter now!
P.P.S. If you would be so kind as to vote for me, that would be rather swell too.
Loved reading your post over at Elizabeth's blog. I don't even think you hallways is bad. Love your home SO much!
It still has so much potential!! The floorboards will look stunning once they've had some TLC! Maybe just get a rug to hide where the bodies were buried? Xxx
You are already a cool kid my friend. Thanks for coming over to play today. xo
tears and oreos? ha! ya know, you should maybe try to be a bit more dramatic. :) i'll head right over. <br /><br />smiles.<br /><br />michele
I have seen much worse lol! At least it is light for the time being and not some really weird colour such as pink with yellow spots!<br />I think hallways often get left till last, as you don't want to damage them carrying DIY stuff through to other rooms.
It's a little like going to a sketchy neighborhood to get to a really cool restaurant or event venue. By the time you get inside the amazingness, you forget about the trip there. <br /><br />Congrats on being a cool kid!
Uber intrigued…. heading over there now!
