This is what happens when I stay at home!
I had all my "Social" work for our Dolcetto activities up to date. Simply put, I had ..."A Free Afternoon!"
Most would say, Rest!!!
But no, not me! Have no idea what the word means!
Instead, I sat staring at the fireplace/TV/built-in wall, until I thought I'd go crazy!!! Looking at the space, my mind began to "Imagine"!!!
Maybe, I could "try something new....for me"??? I have always adorned the wall unit with one, two at the most, "treasure" in each of the cubicles..... thinking each piece needed it's own "PLACE"!
TREASURES IN THE CUBICLES
I dragged out the step ladder!!! and..... I began to totally destroy the perfectly lovely arrangement!!!
In less than an hour, I had it filled with our Asian pieces, framed prints, hung on the back wall of each space, and books!!! I removed all the gold vases, plates and boxes.
I'm not sure, remember, I never "studied" Design, but the entire wall looks friendlier and more pleasing to the eye...
I love it!!!!.....The Asian pieces are more defined, the mirrored fireplace section is more prominent!!! and....I don't notice the TV..... quite as much!
I didn't stop there.......I proceeded to do another design look I have not applied in years, actually, since our Virginia Beach Condo.
AND WHAT WOULD THAT BE, YOU ASK???
I put objects on top of the kitchen cabinets......
The tops of our kitchen cabinets have been purposely BARE for years!!!!
All those gold vases and plates ..... they are now on top of the kitchen cabinets.!!!! YES, absolutely an old idea, but so, so NEW to me!!!!
I can't say how long this "old"/ "NEW" look will last at the Bucket List House....
BUT....IT WAS A FUN AFTERNOON!

Crazy experiment! Looks good. I'd love to be a fly on thevwall when you start dusting on top of the cabinets...
