Martha Stewart and legions of the tasteful are cringing!
Restoration aficionados are averting their eyes in disgust!
Just when you thought it was safe to step outside again...
Yesterday, it was too rainy to work in the garden so I decided to organize a closet and start working on the garage which hasn't had a car in it for years because it's too full of garden stuff. I kept coming across things that gave me ideas; Idle minds/ hands are the devils playground and all. We have this back porch which had its original siding (behind the lattice on the back wall) removed in the 80's for a bathroom remuddling. The back wall of this area is covered in black tyvek covered in dust. When you have an eyesore like that, you can either restore it correctly (next summer) or camp it up. You may remember the chair from yesterdays post. A little hot glue a little stitch witchery (a tape that fuses fabric with the heat of an iron - I'm sewing impaired) some cup hooks, and I'm ready to read palms or tell fortuneis. Louis, I see a large number of Trachycarpus in your future!
Of course it'll all come down for the Pacific Northwest Rain Festival (October 1 - July 4) but it makes me laugh for now.
Hope you had fun looking and being grateful that you would never do anything so tacky.
