poshcat encouraged me to post more home pictures.   I don't consider these rooms to be done.  I'm missing crucial things like rugs, lamps, light fixtures, house plants, and a few textural items like baskets.  Some of the projects, like the screen I built from re-claimed house shutters aren't completely finished.  The screen hides Magz' litter boxes btw.  I did just re-arrange the living room today, hung all the art in my bedroom, and installed the curtain tie-backs -- I found them quite by accident at Lowe's last weekend, they were $5 a pair!  AND the crystal ball ends matched my curtain rods.  I couldn't resist them.  They have *really * improved the look of my curtains. 

Yes, re-decorating/re-modeling my house, work, working out, eating, and sleeping really is all I do.

I moved the chairs around today and the plant.  I'm much happier with it now.  It feels more like two defined spaces, the foyer and the living room.  When I manage to get my rug in it will define the areas even more.
This is my office/study.  There's a 1970's Wonder Woman thing in the middle of over the book cases.  The screen I built is on the right.

The cabinet is the second piece to my china cabinets.  They don't fit side by side anymore.  I'm undecided what to do with it as now so it's staying in the office for the time being.  One of the glass doors broke during the move so I'm toying with the idea of re-doing both doors in stained glass.  Projects. I need to putty holes in the screen, wash it down really well and repaint the entire thing.  Projects, every where I look.

This is as you walk in my bedroom. It's very purple.  And gray.  I have to decorate in my bedroom to accommodate my insomnia.  Everything has to be cool and calm.  As of this week I have doorknobs on all my doors!  It's the little things that make you feel like you're winning.  I'm not certain what my bedroom needs at this point.  I'd love to have a leaning mirror in that one corner and put that picture on the floor beside my bookcases in the office.  But I don't have a leaning mirror.  Another thought -- one that makes me happiest of all -- is to put a vanity on that wall [the wall with the closet] and have a dressing table.  My dresser is far too cluttered with all my assorted jewelry boxes and box boxes.  I have something of a box fetish.  Especially wooden boxes.  Or bowls, I fucking adore wooden bowls.

And that's it for today.  My bathroom upstairs is officially decorated but I still need to get all the paint off the floor and tub.
