while putting together a new little home accessory... a rather simple project in comparison to most i tackle... a few bolts here and there....metal stand....glass bowl...water... light...plug in.... well....sometimes.....i should not be allowed to use tools...or for that matter.... a knife...as a screw driver... yep...i slipped...and sliced my right index finger.... a few layers of skin...flapping... blood everywhere... how is it...this tiny little cut.. less than a quarter of inch...can bleed...like a faucet... holy shit... blood is everywhere...drip drip....i never quite know what to do just after injuring myself.... this time was no different.... while....trying to decide the best solution....i hung my finger over the toilet watching the blood...pour from the tiny cut......called my friend who was on his way over... telling him...i just cut my finger....knowing me like he does....he laughed...and said i'll be right there.... by the time he arrived.... i had bloodied up two bathrooms...the master...then the one in the hall....where all my medical supplies are... two towels... a roll of toilet paper.... an entire spool of waterproof adhesive tape.... a bit of pressure... i finally got the bleeding to stop.... the good news is...i didn't let the cut stop me from completing my project.... which i enjoyed all through the night... a mystical misty.... lighted...water fountain.... in my bedroom...temporarily...placed in the middle of the room...
the first time i saw a mist fountain was well over a year ago.... at a cool little gift shop.."mikes" in downtown durango.... i wanted one so bad... some might consider it a bit cheesy...but i loved it.... anyway...here it is more than a year later.... and yesterday....i finally got one...
i love multipurpose....accessories... not only is it aesthetically pleasing....it also provides... humidity....softening the dry winter air.... i can't stop looking at it...as the light goes from blue... to indigo....violet...into red...
this week mikeC's master bedroom has been my major project....finally getting it completely cleared out...with the exception of his bed.... and cleaned.... i taped off...the base boards.... the window and door molding...laid...3' brown paper covering the inside parameter floors ... secured with blue tape.... began...laying a light layer of texture mud...on the walls... which are currently 70's style stipple.... with several bad patch jobs....cracks...and pail pink paint..... so far...it's coming together nicely..... the room is relatively small... 14' by 14' maybe... with two doors...one on the south wall and another on the north...three windows on the the east wall....and a closet on the west... the biggest challenge is the high ceilings.... the trim is old school.... my favorite....1"X6" baseboards....arts and crafts style.....mike and i went to Lowe's...a few days ago...and bought him a really nice 6' ladder for me to use....one that holds up to 300 lbs... in a few hours i textured about 8' of wall 6' high.... taping off the room took a bit longer than expected...it's that perfectionist thing.....so today...i am in hopes of getting all the texture done.... then tomorrow paint... honestly .... i am so excited about this project... i can't wait to see the outcome.... my plan is to make it as mikeC as possible... using earth tones...rich...and subtle.... anyone that knows him....will totally get my vision.... deep brown reds.... mustardy golds...muddy greens and browns...several....textile textures....chenile....organdy... silk....linen...cotton... canvas....brocades and velvets....
